My progress so far

[Rizaan]

I started using minoxidil since 1st November, 2014. These are my results so far :
First two were taken at the beginning of December, 2014
Second two were taken at the beginning of January, 2015
Last two were taken at the end of January, 2015

I don't know how good these results are. When I first started using minox., I started shedding hair, I was told here(and by searching google) that shedding does occur in some people, but the hair comes back later. what everyone failed to state was WHERE THE SHEDDING OCCURS. The hair density at the borders of my hair at the front is very low, it doesn't show much in the pics because I pulled back my hair, and it's gotten worse ever since I started this treatment even though there is some progress only on the bald areas(temples). So, I started applying minoxidil even at the front of my hairline, hoping my hair density would return to what it used to be, but I haven't noticed any new hair growing there. It's starting to depress me, and I don't know whether or not my hair will come back. Could you please share and compare your experience with minoxidil(including the shedding, and where it occurred)?

I'll keep bumping this until someone from this ignorant forum replies.

NOT the way to make friends and influence people, IMHO.

Play nice!

Those are ****ING great results.


Hate to say this though, without Finasteride, or some anti DHT, your results
will be temporary. Even for a few years.


Best of luck.

Rizaan,

Here's my routine:

1. Saw palmetto, pumkin seed oil topical. Hairmetto

2. fish oil capsules 2 1000 mg a day

3. Saw palmetto, pumpkin seed vitamin and mineral complex. Hairomega 3 in 1 dht

4. Homemade powder made of mostly of garlic skin. Other ingredients in smaller amounts are: l-carnatine, niacin, melatonin, biotin, and b6.(put it all in a coffee grinder, and grind until the powder becomes the consistency of flour. ( takes forever, about 10 mins to get it this fine).

4. Vibrating Hair Brush

5. Shower cap

Take all supplements morning and night.


Before bed, I shake enough powder on my head till the scalp turns white(exfoliant ).
While this is on my head, i give myself a 15 min massage. I time it, or I do less . I use the bristle side of the vibrating brush first for 5 min to set the powder, then I flip the brush over to the other side that has several hard plasic nodules on it about the diameter of a quarter, and stick out a 1/4 inch each. Massage with this side for ten minutes. I can feel the scalp being pulled and it hurt slightly at first.
When the exfoliating of the scalp is finished, my scalp literally drinks the oil that I now apply AFTER not during the massage.
I apply the oil to my entire scalp, even on my forehead, put a shower cap on and go to sleep. The shape of my head is changing, by the amount of crud being removed. first month I only used the bristle side of the brush, until I read this http://www.jdmoyer.com/2015/04/13/hair/
Then shower daily pura d or blue label.
This has been every day for 4 months now, I will continue to take real pictures, should be interesting to see more and more hair when someone actually sticks to the same thing for a long time. Other than all of the new terminal hair, In one of the close ups you can see that follicles are waking up by the darker color, those did not appear that wsy four months ago, this was just high forehead with no sign of follicles at all.

Here in India Hairmetto and Hairomega are imported and are very expensive, so I'll try buying Saw palmetto oil and pumpkin seed out separately, and I'll mix them with jojoba oil (carrier) and massage in topically, which will do the job of the vibrating brush by increasing circulation.
Do you think the fish oil capsules and the homemade powder are worth it? They seem like a pain in the *ss. Will you try anything from this site i posted about on another thread: https://www.hairlossrevolution.com/clean-scalp/ ? What about derma rolling?

I'm not sure I believe that. He's trying to sell that ebook and there's no guarantee what he says works. But do you perform that massage anyway? Do you have anything to share about it that I could try?
