    Default Would Love Some Honest Treatment Advice

    Hi,

    I am 29 years old, and have experienced noticeable hair loss for about 2 years now. I have been using a HairMax Laser Comb for about the last year (and have seen 0 results), and have been using Argan Oil Shampoo by Maple Holistics for about the last year (and have also seen 0 results). I tried Propecia and Minoxidil, but they both gave me very bad side effects (i.e. headaches and feeling anxious/jittery when taking them), so I stopped their use. I even experienced similar side effects when using PURA D'OR Anti-Hair Loss Gold Label shampoo, which has led me to the conclusion that my body does not tolerate DHT-blocking mechanisms well. At this point I can honestly say that my hair continues to get thinner and thinner every day, and I can't seem to find anything that will either stop the shedding or reverse what's already been lost. I had a consultation with the Hair Club, but it seemed that their primary treatment method was Minoxidil, so I decided not to pursue anything further. Right now I am considering Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, since from what I understand it does not use DHT-blocking mechanisms, but also wonder if I should give Propecia or Minoxidil another try and see if the side effects will eventually wear off (I have taken them both for about a week before I stopped usage due to side effects). Obviously, I don't want to spend more money than I have to, but I would also consider a transplant. Thank you for hearing me out, and please I would welcome any advice on what you would do if you were me.
