the only thing that he doesnt say is that he is comapring temporary hair loss remedies, minoxidil, finesteride, derma rolling etc, they give you temporary hair growth while you do it, if you stop your hair falls out again, the only way to do it is hair transplant,
@@pauricgrant8700 very true, I have however looked online and they say salt is good for hair regrowth because of the minerals that it provides for your body. Body needs a certain amount of different minerals to function and if youre lacking your body will show it in different way.
@@Sky10811Yeah exactly..I have to wash my hair with a mild gentle shampoo every 2 days otherwise my scalp turns too oily and even mild dandruff occurs
@HalleluYAH7771what on earth are you on about. I’m an Irish catholic that loves god and Jesus. But if u think quoting lots of scripture helps people improve their relationship with god How about by their deeds you shall know them. That’s it. Be kind actively kind ❤
yes but he is selling stuff for people in need. i have pecia i know.... pecia is the biggest proof how corrupt "Science" and medics are.... in 2023 we still have a decease that nobody cares and afects almost 80% of men.... because is more profitable implants or other barbaric stuff. also go ahead and go talk to a old medic in a social country and look and they dont give a fuck about your hair or your self esteem.... the same that will spend 100k in a nice badge on their car....
it's a long video but this guy has great info, very much worth the time. I've read 95% of the hair loss material online and this guy gives the best truthful reviews of it.
I've been using the reactivate hair serum from litlllextra for the past month and completely moved away from my previous serum since the past two months. It's working wonderfully. I simply apply it one time every day with the spray pump that comes with the serum. It's really easy to use, not oily, and without any scent. The hair growth results are up to now so great, and it's just one month only and I plan to continue to apply it.
When my hair started falling out I did plenty of research but I only had to do the simplest thing, which was use one of the spiked silicone head scrubbers and massage my scalp for a minute or two each night in the shower. Within a couple of months my hair was back.
I'm going to get one and do this. My hair is fine & thinning a little bit lately - since I wash it every 4 days it's probably clogging pores or something & doesn't get much circulation on the scalp.
I had severe hair loss after having covid. I started using Hairmax laser light therapy. My hair stopped falling out and now my hair is thinner. But the Hairmax is helping new baby hairs come in. I am so happy! ❤
How bad was your Covid infection? I’m losing hair now after having a mild case of Covid in February. But also have lost 50 pounds since last October. Wondering if it is a combo of the two or just from the weight loss since my Covid infection was mild.
I lost half my hair due to catching a very bad covid at the beginning of the pandemic fortunately my hair has now grown back thick again although it took a couple of years plus my hair is down my back I’m plant based for over 40 years and wondering if this has anything to do with my hair growing back so thick and healthy as I didn’t take any meds and also have a thyroid condition which causes hair loss with some people
What shampoos and conditioners to use were not addressed. A person may try some or all of the suggestions but if they continue to use products that the hair care industry flat out knows are bad for us their regrowth will be stunted and not give good results.
You are 100 percent correct . It's a down right shame our medical industry is not looking out for us. If I only knew who to get my hands on then things would change from making an example out of some of them .
You wouldn’t and couldn’t do shit. Stop acting tough online… You think you could make a change if you ‘knew who to get your hands on’? No… Leave your fantasy because this is reality.
This guy is the GOAT, seems to have so much information on this topic that he even turned me around. I might consider starting low level Finasteride and micro needling. Thank you.
I am a woman whose hair due to age and 2 surgeries in a six month window. I refuse pharmaceuticals….too many side effects…. Are your options OK for women? How much pain does micro needling cause? I have had my share and more of pain in the last 6 months….
I have been suffering from hair loss for over a year now and recently, I watched all the available videos, read all the available documents in the internet. I have gone a little bit crazy researching hair loss and watching this video I must say that this guy is making one of the best and most objective comments about hair loss industry. Simple yet powerful. Thanks mate!
!!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! Just came accross your video (two years late, but still not too late !!!) and got me interested in what you had to mention about the drug industry. I remember taking supplement 10 years ago, but since i am not good at taking pills at regular times (Even the important ones I am suppose to) those hair growth pills went into the garbage pail and i accepted my faith of losing my hair bit by bit. I have registered to your web site, shall look into you past and future videos and who knows how much hair shall grow back...good luck to me...Ha Ja Ha Stay healthy my good man and thank you for being HONNEST about the drug industry and not getting ripped off by them !!! Cheers !!!
Ok, I'll tell you my experience. If it helps somebody it will be good. I always had a very dense hair, so much that I used to wish part of it gone. Nevertheless, about 10 years ago I started noticing a lot of hair coming out when brushing after washing. I went to dermatologists and endocrinologists and they found that my hormone levels were all very high. So they gave me spironolactone to reduce them. The problem is that I have low blood pressure so I couldn't take it. For years the problem continued and I tried everything. From supplements to oils to infusions, natural and artificial. Nothing really worked. The exception was amla oil which seemed to have reduced the hair loss a little. Two years ago, I read several studies on rosemary and peppermint essential oils. Also came across another study on caffeine. So I decided to mix liquid caffeine with rosemary essential oil. And applying it everyday with a dropper. At the same time I started minoxidil but only a few drops on the hairline and temples. Just about 2 months after I noticed a lot of small hairs all over, especially on the top. So much that they would all stand up after washing.;) Still the hairloss continued, even if reduced. On January this year I fell and broke one arm. Trying to heal faster I started having calcium, vitamin D and protein supplements. And then it was when everything changed. My hair almost stopped falling. Well, just the normal. And the hair became much more dense. If someone is interested you can find caffeine in powder which is quite cheap and dilute it with lukewarm boiled water, in the proportion of about 1 tea spoon to 30 ml of water. Add 30 drops of rosemary essential oil. Shake and apply everyday massaging or brushing the scalp after. If you prefer you can buy pure liquid caffeine. I chose both forms but the liquid is easier and nicer. I buy mine from Germany. So what is the role of caffeine? It seems to block the action of DHT on the follicles. It's very well absorbed through the scalp. Just takes about 2 minutes. Rosemary oil promotes blood flow. Protein supplements are important if you are a vegetarian or don't consume enough through your diet. Also if you have assimilation problems. I take whey protein but I get it from the pharmacy. Careful with what you buy. Important remarks: don't use hot water to dilute the caffeine. If will form a paste and be ruined. And DO NOT EVEN THINK OF TAKING THE CAFFEINE ORALLY. IT WILL KILL YOU!
Wow... your comment wins first prize in the NONSENSE category. Your advice is for crazy people. Protein, for example, causes cancer and disease... your hair loss is caused by your diet, which is probably terrible. Raw, fruit. We are monkeys. Hello?
@@katebeedot6964 I'm from the Mediterranean region so my diet is good. Doesn't include processed food, sugar or hydrogenated fats. The only carbs are good bread and occasionally a bit of rice or pasta. I don't eat meat though. Just fish and some eggs. Not many. No dairy either. And don't tell me about keto because I think it's totally wrong. And dangerous for slim people.
Thanks for the kind words! If you have any content requests, please let me know and I'll get started! Otherwise, we have some interesting videos coming about diet, specific nutritional supplements, and the debate over post-finasteride syndrome.
I’m glad that you mentioned the frequency of microneedling to be once every 1-2 weeks. I keep hearing about so many people doing twice a week or some even every day! I tried doing it twice a week and straight away I could tell that it wasn’t enough time to let the wound heal properly....especially if it’s combined with daily brushing over the area that was microneedled.
@@Pulga232 Theres a peer study online where they did microneedling for 6months with different needle lengths and it stated that 0.5mm per week or two (cant remember) was the most optimal compared to the others.
Yea it’s kind of insane. I use to microneedle my face for acne scars and the recommended use is once every 1-2 months. I don’t know if wounding your scalp more often will boost growth factors any more than normal but I’m not risking causing further damage by maintaining my scalp in a chronic state of inflammation. I believe microneedling is a powerful enough treatment that you can wait a bit longer in between sessions and not see any decline in results.
i microneddle my scalp daily even 2 times at day, but just for absortion of minoxidil, just until it get a litte red, its helping me alot in one year i have almost all my hair back, of course i take care of my scalp alot, ppepermit oil, hidratation threatment, drink alot of water, exercise, good diet, massage, i do alot of things
Slowly I've watched all your channel. Thank you for the education, that's priceless above and prior the treatment that works for us. The proper education allows to see through the mist and to start to have a serious understanding.
I tried so many channels you are the best unbiased and give proper feedback and information,,, I haven’t stated any treatment yet just trying my best to see what to start with side effects involved in each method ,,, health is first than anything else ..
Thanks so much for being soooo honest. I subscribed 1.5 minutes into the video after you revealed secret #1 because I've suspected it to be true for some time now.
Superb coverage of the subject. I would only suggest adding minoxodil to your list of proven regimens. It would also be helpful to take oral finasteride and oral minoxidil instead of topicals (if the side effects of orals are tolerable). The biggest cause of failure in treatment is poor compliance, and popping a daily pill is much easier, especially when the patient is looking forward to a lifetime of treatment for rhairloss.
At 16 my hair was falling out all over the place. My carpet was full of hair ! Someone told me to quit consuming sugar ! I switched to honey in my tea and coffee and quit eating anything with sugar in it and my hair stopped falling out Oh! and my zits were all gone :) ! As I got older hair started to fall out again. Again someone told me to spray my hair with Rosemary water and I did and my hair is so thick now and stopped falling out. You make Rosemary water so easily. Take a few sprigs of Rosemary and boil them in water and then let it cool and pour this rosemary water into a water mister and spray it onto your scalp each night before you sleep. It works !!!!!
its true that honey causes cavities. However, when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet and combined with good oral hygiene practices, is less likely to cause cavities compared to other sources of added sugars like sodas, candies, or highly processed foods. Honey also possesses some antimicrobial properties that may help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria in the mouth.
So crazy I am currently accidentally regrowing my hairline: stopped using shampoo for health & styling reasons (just warm & cold water and sometimes some baby powder if they look a bit greasy) and i have baby hairs in the regrowing areas … can’t believe it 😅 + hair looks so much healthier
@Dalegendaryrocke i don’t use products anymore. the hair is not as thin as before, and holds (feels like its thicker and kinda holds in place … but yeah probably doesn’t work for every hairstyle… i currently have a flow (just search the flow hairstyle“ here on youtube)..
@@Scottjr5561. no. There are tons of reasons why people have hairloss so looks like your cause is different than mine (but could be lifestyle stuff too. I eat an healthy european diet and am kinda fit (like 1x running per week and walking every day and some workouts per week).
Thanks for debunking some of those popular but useless products out there, and sharing your extensive research with us. I personally have found that massaging (preferably with olive oil & coconut oil) stimulates hair growth, and rose water helps with scalp issues (flakey, oily etc.) When washing hair, avoid very hot water, and keep the water as mild as possible on the scalp. I picked up this tip late in life, but it's a VERY useful one!! As we age we do lose more & more hair and it can be quite alarming. After trying many different (SAFE & mild) products, I found that massaging (gently) at least once or twice daily without oil & once a week with oil helps improve hair growth. Hope you don't mind my sharing these tips on your platform. ✌
@@danmcclaren5436 Massage your scalp with the tips of your fingers - Avoid harsh / sharp brushes & combs. I learned to be kind to the body, so it's kind in return!?
wow thank. you so much for your research. this really helped me tonight as i started to freak out with my issues and started to go on amazon to buy a bunch of stuff and panicked but after just massaging my scalp tonight . my head started to feel better and less sensitive and angry at me. so def tightness and i have tight jaw and grind my teeth so im sure that doesnt help. I would love to get your story for my podcast and share with others and help them with their journey as well
I'm definitely not here to knock your video, it does an excellent job explaining how companies publish studies to benefit their product sales, and can/will hide information or misconstrue data. Absolutely on the nose. I will say though - I'm a 31 year old woman, and my hair had been thinning for 5 years. For unrelated reasons, I recently started supplementing B vitamins, and putting Nutritional Yeast in my food, and I noticed my hair is coming back to pre-thinning levels. It was the only thing I changed about my diet, so I looked into it, and there's a link, to my surprise. I think there are a lot of possible reasons, mine just happened to be related to B vitamins, which I had stumbled upon completely coincidentally. It's definitely worth doing your research over blindly buying products. Simple education can spare you a lot of time, money, and sometimes even suffering.
I’m wondering if you possibly went vegan 5 years ago? It’s a great way to eat, but all vegans need to supplement B12(nutritional yeast), and may have certain deficiencies. If you are vegan, the vitamin B supplementation makes sense.
I had a severe vitamin D deficiency (6ng.) and it affected my thyroid. My hair fell out by the handfuls. Ten years later and a big change in diet and lifestyle I am now 70 and my hair has filled back in. I think my issue was not getting enough protein in my diet according to my blood work.
Finasteride is only good for prostate problems and is not for long term use. I took it for prostate and started to suffer loss of Libido, ED I'm sure it was affecting my hormones also? It did start working for hair loss but suddenly for some reason stopped and my hair started coming out badly when combing, I now have less hair than I started with :(
12 years on Fin, Rogaine + Zinc + Saw Palmetto. My hair is long, thick and doesnt seem to be going anywhere. We all lose some as we get super old (65+), but until then, i'm not stopping.
My sister has been a hairdresser/teacher for 51 years. She's very talented, God given talent. She's always looking/testing the latest products. The best by far has been Zenagen. It's pricey but worth it. You must use it as directed.
I started losing hair after Covid and was referred to a dermatologist. He failed to notice I had an autoimmune disease that attacks the follicles, though he did recommend PRP. He gave me hundreds of shots for three months at $1500. It didn't work, because I had a disease and he should've done biopsies. In any case, six months later a doctor did take three biopsies and sent them to a lab. Yes, autoimmune disease and no amount of PRP was going to help.
@@tomdevine7395 Yes, I did. Any decent Dermotologist could see it. I had no idea what was going on. They call it "scarring" and that sounds ominous, though as you're likely aware, it's an area of shiny scalp. The PRP cost me exponentially more than all the other tests and doctors I would see who finally did diagnose and help me.
@@stevewise1656 You and I had the same experience. I thought PRP was going to be THE treatment to stop my hair loss. I did the first year of treatment and then talked to a different doctor about transplants. He took one look at my hair follicles and said, “I may be wrong but I think you have scarring alopecia and if that’s the case transplants won’t work”. I went back to my derm and he did a biopsy which proved I did have it. To make matters worse he said that the PRP treatments were a waste of money given that I have SA. Actually, the first thing my derm said when reading the biopsy results was “when did you have malaria?”. I have never had malaria - that I know of - but I spent a lot of time traveling in Asia and got pretty sick a few times so who knows. I would think one would know if it was malaria. Anyways, he said that my blood work indicated exposure to malaria and that might be what kicked off the SA. I did notice a change in 2015 when I started losing leg/arm hair. And I saw an increase in hairline recession. What are you doing for SA? I’ve been on Propecia/Minox for years and that’s keeping it in check but I’m still losing. Receded areas are indeed shiny with no angel hairs. Thanks.
My experience with PRP - My mom, who is in her 70's and balding due to stress, poor health and medical issues had had very good results with PRP. I am in my 50's and suddenly found my hair falling out in huge clumps. Maybe due to menopause and stress, not sure. The first PRP treatment stopped shedding by about 90%. I had two more treatments and did not see an increased benefits and I have not noticed any hair regrowth from any of the treatments. I just started micro needling using a stamp rather than a roller. I follow the stamp with a blend of oils (castor, pumpkin, rosemary hip) and essential oils (frankincense, ylang ylang). I intend to also incorporate minoxidil (I heard that the foam is best if the drops irritate your scalp)
Started doing scalp massage 2 times a day, 12 min per session, i don't really see any new hair growing or anything like this, but each session my hair would fall 29, and this have progressively getting lower, now I am at 7 hairs per sessions after 2 weeks. Also, my hair is super super soft now. One small side effect I had at the beginning was some skin peeling off form my head, but honestly I dont care
One thing that everyone should try is also probiotics + egg combo, it won't hurt you and it's quite cheap. The best probiotics is milk kefir (although I believe milk is inflamatory and not that health, for the hair is the best probiotic or at least the one that worked better for me), and 1-2 eggs just to have these nutrients the hair needs. Don't underestimate the power that these probiotics have. About the massage... So, it didn't really change that much, my hair still falls on average 5-12 per session, I still didn't notice regrowth. My method is, I go on the edge of the bed and position my head towards the ground, kinda upside down, and I cover it with white paper so I know for sure how many hairs are falling. After the session, some hairs are still trapped on your hair, but they fall as result of your massage, so I try to pass my hand in my scalp to get rid of them so I know for sure how many hairs did fall. The hair texture definitely improved, but it's because the blood flow or you're inducing natural oil production on your scalp? I definitely would say for anyone that is doing it to give it a try, for me I kinda incorporated this on my daily, so it's not annoying as it was before, but I made a commitment with myself to stay on this for 1 year and see what changes. I didn't buy anything from Robert, I just got the tips from massaging, so I actually didn't get deep in his website or any of his other methods. About minoxidil, this gave me a heart condition where I can't use it anymore. I was using for the beard tho. Finasteride I will never use.
@@danke.palaestina That's also true! I think if you're going totally bald and very worried, the thing we know for sure is that minoxidil and finasteride works, but be careful with the side effects! Theyre no joke, and as I said before, minoxidil gave me a permanent condition on my heart that I am treating now
When i eat tons of sugar and chocolate my hair gets curly and thinner. When i eat healthy for a few weeks my hair looks and feels stronger. There must be a massive link between diet and hair loss.
@@dboss3585 yeah on some it is. But they didn't eat good or exercise. It's amazing how people try to tell others they are wrong despite experiencing it. I noticed in my 20's with a full head of think hair that it became unmanageable when I ate crap
Thanks for reading these studies. Us common folk just aren’t going to. Appreciate the info. Just started minoxidil and 2% K shampoo. Gonna give it 3-6 months before considering Finasteride.
@@MyLife-ij4tf stop taking it. It was working in the front. But scalp became dry and itchy. Been on Finasteride for 3+ months. Nothing yet. It’s been a looking battle this past year. Also stop the shampoo. It did nothing.
I struggled almost my entire adolescence with hair fall. Now I have just started using advasi hair oil (made in India) in addition to sls and paraben-free shampoo. I can feel my hair is thickening and also experiencing less hair fall in just a week. I have also changed my diet to sugar-free and more fruits. Not only that, I have started doing meditation and go for a 5km run in the morning. This new regimen has made my hair healthy again.
Wow.....how amaising....I would love to do this course....busy now with a dermatologist........scalp burning and paining haor loss over half the amount of my hair.....etc.....but sadly I can't do the course now.....God bless all that is suffering.....
My family have accused me for years of having hair replacement because they have lost their hair and i mostly haven't. I am a 6w5, known for being a very self sufficient problem solver. I refuse to wear hats. I massage my head vigorously while washing in the shower and get a complete rinse. I have my wife to scratch my head aggressively once a week. She digs to the point of some bleeding at times. This is because the head forms clogs and layers that hinder hair growth. Digging open those areas deep in the scalp is highly beneficial. When does she stop scratching? When it hurts enough. It goes from feeling amazing to OUCH!! Scratching needs to penetrate the scalp deep enough. A barber told me years ago to never cut my hair short or it wouldn't grow back. He was wrong. I've figured out what works for me and its largely mechanical. And i find it unwise that people would swallow supplements and drugs to solve the problem. The FDA cannot be trusted. And just because nobody has reported an effect doesn't mean there isn't one that will play out years later. I am skepitcal of taking advice from anyone who is selling something related.
Compliments on being willing to do something about your hair. The women in my family who have been lifelong junk foodies, bordering on heavy drinking then turning to medications instead of making lifestyle changes do tend to have thinning hair by the age of 30. Most of them have lost all of their hair by age 45. They were negative examples while being great warnings of what to NOT do. My hair didn't start thinning, yet, I still made lifestyle & diet changes. In my 20s, I began eating as natural as possible. Also, I began including a natural protein with every meal as well as turning to a protein as a snack when needed. The last time I went to a family get together, I was told I got "lucky" with my genetics. I had tried to tell them in the past, what I had discovered. I tried to tell them in as kindly of a way as possible while still telling what worked for me. It was not received very well. I keep doing what I'm doing with a full, lush, healthy head of hair.
To the point of bleeding?? Absolutely unnecessary..you only have to wash your hair in a kitchen sink (with your head upside down) so dirt and sweat falls away from the scalp and not into it./
you're a problem solver and you subscribe to a dubunked theory of blood flow as the cause of AGA (rather than the opposite) and let your wife scratch your head instead of using a dermapen?
@@jinoziniosti5633 I'd think microneedling (with whatever length pins) might be a better idea... as a wife there's no way I'd be doing what he's suggesting - just NO
I'm using littleexttra rosemary reactivate hair growth serum from two weeks. Here is my review: 1- Excellent mix of ingredients 2- Visible results in just 2 weeks that I got from it 3- Lovely bottle with a locking mechanism and quality packaging 4- Not so sticky and simple to apply
I used minoxidl and finestaride, it got better and almost fully filled in. 2 years later I said F it and shave my head when I started losing hair again. Most freeing thing Ive ever done, i loved having hair but obsessing over it is not something I miss.
I'm sure you come with good intentions here, but I had some real noticeable side effects with Finasteride. I had very weak erections and semen density was noticeably lower. Once I stopped the medicine - within a week it was back to rock hard erections and everything else was back to normal. Between sexual dysfunction and less hair I reluctantly chose the latter. This is no joke and I'm glad for those whom this medicine is working
U r true. Unknowingly i was taking a medicine which contains finast whcih was unmentioned. I felt my sex desire going down day by day. Usually i have erection kind of feel throughout the day i mean. While follow up the medicine the feel reduced i scared. After stopping taking it. Am back to form. Its follihair they mixing finasteride secretly.
I felt the worst I ever felt on finasteride. It was the most depressed drugged up feeling I have felt in my life. I couldn't focus, or concentrate on anything. There's financial reasons to fake data. But even if we take them at their word, 1% reporting side effects doesn't mean those are the only ones who got side effects. Also most people are so depressed, drugged up on caffeine, alcohol, and pot, with poor diets, that they might not notice a negative effect. You have to take all of the reports online, the mice studies, and your own personal experience into consideration when you take drugs.
Thank you, tanks to you i just saved a lot of years, money and despair. Now you made everything clearer to me, i watched nearly all your videos. Thank you again!
I had male balding pattern starting and tried something stupid simple that actually pretty much stopped my hair loss, I didn't gain any back that I am aware of but at least I stopped thinning out. The answer take hot as hell showers (not scalding hot but not far from it) every night (do a cool down to normal shower temperatures after 3-5 minutes)-I believe this helped in my case cause I probably had clogged pores as now I can actually sweat which I was not able to do very well before so I avoided hot weather like the plague. Note: I also gave up sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup) and breads. Now that my hair is better I backed off on the super hot showers.
What about using a "cold cap" as some people using chemotherapy do, to stop hair loss? If it stops their hair loss, why wouldn't it work for normal hair loss,also?
@@rongendron8705 That remembers me at this water treatment from Sebastian Kneipp. It doesn't matter if you use very warm or cold water. It' s important to use at last cold or colder water, so the blood circulation will be much better.
Why am I watching this as a 16 year old who comes from a family where hair loss is not a big issue... I really need to start doing something better with my time lol
FYI.... The study of teatree oil & lavender was faulty. The link actually came from the chemicals in the plastic bottles they stored the essential oils in which leached into the oils.
Hi Rob . I love your comprehensive videos about hair loss and treatments. You mentioned liposomal finasteride as a potential treatment. Is there a brand/ company that you would suggest?
I’m a huge fan of biotin ???? I use it and found my hair and nails grow so much quicker . And I’m a person that wouldn’t use anything unless it’s really proving itself . I don’t know what it does for baldness and hair loss it just definitely grows hair and nails
Only Finasteride together with Minoxidil (either tablet form or topical liquid) will help reverse hairloss, but only then if the hair has miniaturised. Once it's lost and the follicle has died it cannot be brought back to life. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is responsible for male pattern baldness so reducing that is key. Finasteride reduces DHT significantly which improves the hair follicle strength. Minoxidil wont prevent hairloss, but it does stimulate new hair growth from a dying (not dead) follicle. There are some products that reduce DHT like ketoconazole at 2% branded as Nizoral. That's it. Everything else is either fake or still experimental. There is some evidence to show microneedling helps when used in conjunction with Finasteride and Minoxidil.
hair transplant is the only way, if you stop taking these drugs your hair falls out again, so its just a chemical wig, you have to take them for the rest of your life, just spend 3 days in turkey and you will never even have to think about it again,
I just started adding the Chewable Minox from Hims and no side effects, they taste like those sour gummies and i still take the Fin pills ontop of that, i will evaluate after say two to three mths from now. The chewables are not cheap like $1.63 per day for a 3-mth supply, it gets cheaper if you get the 6-mth supply.
My mother, a nurse, swore all she needed was biotin. She’s nearly bald. I started up in my 30’s and she tried that on me. I went to a hair loss specialist. I am not almost bald. RX HAIR MEDS WORK IF YOU HAVE THE TYPE OF ALOPECIA THAT THEY TREAT. For example, I went on spironolactone when I first noticed and I not only regrew my hair, but grew MORE hair than I had even as a teen. I’d go to the salon and they’d freak out because it was down to my waist almost and thick and lux the entire way down. I’ve never been so happy to have to pay more money to have my hair done lol. It only ended bc I moved to Canada and one doctor decided I was “on too many pills” and refused to refill it. It took two years for my shedding to partially return and 6 years for me to start noticing a problem again. I went back on it and within months my hair was coming back in. Don’t waste your time with anything. Get the scalp biopsy and get the meds
Your mother more likely has a zinc deficiency due to a malabsorption disorder like celiac disease. If she has alopecia diffuse, tell her to look for symptoms of zinc deficiency.
You know it's so true all the important things like breast cancer and the pros and cons and the actual patients side of the stories nobody even comments on these this to me is something very detrimental to men and women more so even women however I'm thankful but I haven't listened to it yet I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget to write this message
Guys, this is my advice...I use minoxidil, combined with dermaroller and hand massage, plus I take biotin. For the last 3 month there is def an improvement. Up to you, it is just my experience.
Rob English: 13:34 Wait wait wait, hold on a second! I heard nothing can regrow an area of hair that has been scarred over outside of a hair transplant. Now you're telling me that isn't the case? If microneedling can regrow hair in scarring alopecia, that must mean it generates new follicles that previously didn't exist. If this is what you're implying, then what you're claiming is microneedling is a hair loss cure as it will generate brand new follicles from scratch. Now the only other possibility is this microneedling could reverse a process that is causing an active scarring alopecia but the thing is I've read that doing such things in active scarring alopecia can make the situation worse. Please explain what you mean when microneedling can regrow hair in scarring alopecia and if it can in which types of scarring alopecia will it reverse?
Treatment depends on the cause so not same for everyone. Therefore some treatments do work well - example - essential oils because they also work on the mind & root (excuse the pun) of the problem. Good video though pointing out why many don't work.
Excellent content man. Do you have any info on someone who has longterm hair loss thus roots potentially being dead. Do they regrow if I use treatment now? Thanks.
No. If the roots are dead - they are dead completely. Though they could be in sleeping state, this way even after a long pause - they can grow back. You should visit a hair specialist to for them to tell you if there are sleeping follicles on your head or they are dead forever. Chances they are dead higher if you are a male.
I’m more impressed how you turned an issue into a career path.
Damn lol
That’s the way to go! A very smart move- you fix yourself and then help others- a life lived with a purpose
Yup just click on his link 🤡
Ive gone through a lot of hair growth vids on youtube and none excel as well as this channel. The most informative and factual.
the only thing that he doesnt say is that he is comapring temporary hair loss remedies, minoxidil, finesteride, derma rolling etc, they give you temporary hair growth while you do it, if you stop your hair falls out again, the only way to do it is hair transplant,
@@pauricgrant8700 very true, I have however looked online and they say salt is good for hair regrowth because of the minerals that it provides for your body. Body needs a certain amount of different minerals to function and if youre lacking your body will show it in different way.
Infrequent shampooing, scalp massage, eating healthy fats, fasting are part of my healthy hair combination.
Fasting helps hair growth?
Intermittent fasting can cause hairloss initially but will stop later
for those with oily scalp frequent shampooing is a must other wise inflamation and hair loss

I've been using the reactivate hair serum from litlllextra for the past month and completely moved away from my previous serum since the past two months. It's working wonderfully. I simply apply it one time every day with the spray pump that comes with the serum. It's really easy to use, not oily, and without any scent. The hair growth results are up to now so great, and it's just one month only and I plan to continue to apply it.
I've used 3 bottles of reaactivaate serum for hair growth, and I'm happy to say that my hair is much better now.
I will buy this. Thankyou !!

When my hair started falling out I did plenty of research but I only had to do the simplest thing, which was use one of the spiked silicone head scrubbers and massage my scalp for a minute or two each night in the shower. Within a couple of months my hair was back.
I'm going to get one and do this. My hair is fine & thinning a little bit lately - since I wash it every 4 days it's probably clogging pores or something & doesn't get much circulation on the scalp.

Great video and very informative. At last, someone with the courage to tell the truth w/out sugar coating it and misleading information.
@ellisgarvin5319I agree with you. I shaved my hair off to have peace
What shampoos and conditioners to use were not addressed.
A person may try some or all of the suggestions but if they continue to use products that the hair care industry flat out knows are bad for us their regrowth will be stunted and not give good results.
You are 100 percent correct . It's a down right shame our medical industry is not looking out for us. If I only knew who to get my hands on then things would change from making an example out of some of them .

I have been suffering from hair loss for over a year now and recently, I watched all the available videos, read all the available documents in the internet. I have gone a little bit crazy researching hair loss and watching this video I must say that this guy is making one of the best and most objective comments about hair loss industry. Simple yet powerful. Thanks mate!
Thank you for making this video, I think you have saved a lot of people a lot of money and time, including myself.
Videos like this are such a rarity. Well done.
!!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! Just came accross your video (two years late, but still not too late !!!) and got me interested in what you had to mention about the drug industry. I remember taking supplement 10 years ago, but since i am not good at taking pills at regular times (Even the important ones I am suppose to) those hair growth pills went into the garbage pail and i accepted my faith of losing my hair bit by bit. I have registered to your web site, shall look into you past and future videos and who knows how much hair shall grow back...good luck to me...Ha Ja Ha Stay healthy my good man and thank you for being HONNEST about the drug industry and not getting ripped off by them !!! Cheers !!!
I've looked through countless videos on this topic but i think yours is the first to give me some form of hope
Ok, I'll tell you my experience. If it helps somebody it will be good.
I always had a very dense hair, so much that I used to wish part of it gone.
Nevertheless, about 10 years ago I started noticing a lot of hair coming out when brushing after washing. I went to dermatologists and endocrinologists and they found that my hormone levels were all very high. So they gave me spironolactone to reduce them. The problem is that I have low blood pressure so I couldn't take it.
For years the problem continued and I tried everything. From supplements to oils to infusions, natural and artificial.
Nothing really worked. The exception was amla oil which seemed to have reduced the hair loss a little.
Two years ago, I read several studies on rosemary and peppermint essential oils. Also came across another study on caffeine.
So I decided to mix liquid caffeine with rosemary essential oil. And applying it everyday with a dropper. At the same time I started minoxidil but only a few drops on the hairline and temples.
Just about 2 months after I noticed a lot of small hairs all over, especially on the top. So much that they would all stand up after washing.;)
Still the hairloss continued, even if reduced.
On January this year I fell and broke one arm. Trying to heal faster I started having calcium, vitamin D and protein supplements.
And then it was when everything changed.
My hair almost stopped falling. Well, just the normal. And the hair became much more dense.
If someone is interested you can find caffeine in powder which is quite cheap and dilute it with lukewarm boiled water, in the proportion of about 1 tea spoon to 30 ml of water. Add 30 drops of rosemary essential oil. Shake and apply everyday massaging or brushing the scalp after.
If you prefer you can buy pure liquid caffeine. I chose both forms but the liquid is easier and nicer. I buy mine from Germany.
So what is the role of caffeine? It seems to block the action of DHT on the follicles. It's very well absorbed through the scalp. Just takes about 2 minutes.
Rosemary oil promotes blood flow.
Protein supplements are important if you are a vegetarian or don't consume enough through your diet. Also if you have assimilation problems. I take whey protein but I get it from the pharmacy. Careful with what you buy.
Important remarks: don't use hot water to dilute the caffeine. If will form a paste and be ruined.
And DO NOT EVEN THINK OF TAKING THE CAFFEINE ORALLY. IT WILL KILL YOU!
@MariaDiazskn I will try this. Thankyou
Very interesting. Thank you.
Eat more protein and green leaf veg & cut back all carbohydrates
Wow... your comment wins first prize in the NONSENSE category. Your advice is for crazy people. Protein, for example, causes cancer and disease... your hair loss is caused by your diet, which is probably terrible. Raw, fruit. We are monkeys. Hello?
@@katebeedot6964 I'm from the Mediterranean region so my diet is good. Doesn't include processed food, sugar or hydrogenated fats. The only carbs are good bread and occasionally a bit of rice or pasta. I don't eat meat though. Just fish and some eggs. Not many. No dairy either. And don't tell me about keto because I think it's totally wrong. And dangerous for slim people.
Liked the even handed delivery and content. I gained knowledge by watching this.
More videos. Your channel should be number 1....
Thanks for the kind words! If you have any content requests, please let me know and I'll get started! Otherwise, we have some interesting videos coming about diet, specific nutritional supplements, and the debate over post-finasteride syndrome.
I’m glad that you mentioned the frequency of microneedling to be once every 1-2 weeks. I keep hearing about so many people doing twice a week or some even every day! I tried doing it twice a week and straight away I could tell that it wasn’t enough time to let the wound heal properly....especially if it’s combined with daily brushing over the area that was microneedled.
how many mm you use
@@Pulga232 1mm once every 2 weeks
@@Pulga232 Theres a peer study online where they did microneedling for 6months with different needle lengths and it stated that 0.5mm per week or two (cant remember) was the most optimal compared to the others.
Yea it’s kind of insane. I use to microneedle my face for acne scars and the recommended use is once every 1-2 months. I don’t know if wounding your scalp more often will boost growth factors any more than normal but I’m not risking causing further damage by maintaining my scalp in a chronic state of inflammation. I believe microneedling is a powerful enough treatment that you can wait a bit longer in between sessions and not see any decline in results.
i microneddle my scalp daily even 2 times at day, but just for absortion of minoxidil, just until it get a litte red, its helping me alot in one year i have almost all my hair back, of course i take care of my scalp alot, ppepermit oil, hidratation threatment, drink alot of water, exercise, good diet, massage, i do alot of things
Those before pics always show wet/greasy hair which makes the hair stick together, and reveal more scalp.
Slowly I've watched all your channel.
Thank you for the education, that's priceless above and prior the treatment that works for us.
The proper education allows to see through the mist and to start to have a serious understanding.
I tried so many channels you are the best unbiased and give proper feedback and information,,, I haven’t stated any treatment yet just trying my best to see what to start with side effects involved in each method ,,, health is first than anything else ..
Thanks so much for being soooo honest. I subscribed 1.5 minutes into the video after you revealed secret #1 because I've suspected it to be true for some time now.
Superb coverage of the subject. I would only suggest adding minoxodil to your list of proven regimens. It would also be helpful to take oral finasteride and oral minoxidil instead of topicals (if the side effects of orals are tolerable). The biggest cause of failure in treatment is poor compliance, and popping a daily pill is much easier, especially when the patient is looking forward to a lifetime of treatment for rhairloss.
but side effects are global and larger with minoxidil. It is not without significant risks!
Good information. Many points and phrases related to legal issues overall, and to other topics not related to hair.
At 16 my hair was falling out all over the place. My carpet was full of hair ! Someone told me to quit consuming sugar ! I switched to honey in my tea and coffee and quit eating anything with sugar in it and my hair stopped falling out Oh! and my zits were all gone :) ! As I got older hair started to fall out again. Again someone told me to spray my hair with Rosemary water and I did and my hair is so thick now and stopped falling out. You make Rosemary water so easily. Take a few sprigs of Rosemary and boil them in water and then let it cool and pour this rosemary water into a water mister and spray it onto your scalp each night before you sleep. It works !!!!!
Thanks for sharing. I would like to point out that honey can cause cavities though.
its true that honey causes cavities. However, when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet and combined with good oral hygiene practices, is less likely to cause cavities compared to other sources of added sugars like sodas, candies, or highly processed foods. Honey also possesses some antimicrobial properties that may help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria in the mouth.
@@freedomzvision agreed!
That is what I use. Rosemary water. I also put Rosemary Oil into my shampoo.
Does Rosemary water cause shedding?

Subscribed. Good and honest content.
I hope your channels blows up because lots of people need to see and hear the truth.
Thanks for debunking some of those popular but useless products out there, and sharing your extensive research with us. I personally have found that massaging (preferably with olive oil & coconut oil) stimulates hair growth, and rose water helps with scalp issues (flakey, oily etc.) When washing hair, avoid very hot water, and keep the water as mild as possible on the scalp. I picked up this tip late in life, but it's a VERY useful one!! As we age we do lose more & more hair and it can be quite alarming. After trying many different (SAFE & mild) products, I found that massaging (gently) at least once or twice daily without oil & once a week with oil helps improve hair growth. Hope you don't mind my sharing these tips on your platform. ✌
do you massage with you just your hands?
Thanks for sharing useful tips.
@@danmcclaren5436 Massage your scalp with the tips of your fingers - Avoid harsh / sharp brushes & combs. I learned to be kind to the body, so it's kind in return!?

@@SparkTheGenius Looks like I sparked the "Genius"😘!? Key is not to use v. hot water on the scalp to get the oil off, after - Moderation - ✌!!
wow thank. you so much for your research. this really helped me tonight as i started to freak out with my issues and started to go on amazon to buy a bunch of stuff and panicked but after just massaging my scalp tonight . my head started to feel better and less sensitive and angry at me. so def tightness and i have tight jaw and grind my teeth so im sure that doesnt help. I would love to get your story for my podcast and share with others and help them with their journey as well
I'm definitely not here to knock your video, it does an excellent job explaining how companies publish studies to benefit their product sales, and can/will hide information or misconstrue data. Absolutely on the nose.
I will say though - I'm a 31 year old woman, and my hair had been thinning for 5 years. For unrelated reasons, I recently started supplementing B vitamins, and putting Nutritional Yeast in my food, and I noticed my hair is coming back to pre-thinning levels. It was the only thing I changed about my diet, so I looked into it, and there's a link, to my surprise.
I think there are a lot of possible reasons, mine just happened to be related to B vitamins, which I had stumbled upon completely coincidentally.
It's definitely worth doing your research over blindly buying products. Simple education can spare you a lot of time, money, and sometimes even suffering.
or maybe concidence and it woudl have come back anyway!
I’m wondering if you possibly went vegan 5 years ago? It’s a great way to eat, but all vegans need to supplement B12(nutritional yeast), and may have certain deficiencies. If you are vegan, the vitamin B supplementation makes sense.
Despite click bait titles these videos are of high quality. Perhaps the most trusthworthy on youtube about this subject
As long as he doesnt talk about minoxidil it seems fake to me
I love your channel. If you could please do a piece on Hair Loss due to Tumor, Hair Loss due to Hypothyroidism. How to recover from it?

I started losing hair after Covid and was referred to a dermatologist. He failed to notice I had an autoimmune disease that attacks the follicles, though he did recommend PRP. He gave me hundreds of shots for three months at $1500. It didn't work, because I had a disease and he should've done biopsies. In any case, six months later a doctor did take three biopsies and sent them to a lab. Yes, autoimmune disease and no amount of PRP was going to help.
please, could you tell me what should the lab look for at the biopsy’s? What autoimmune disease? Please.
I’m assuming you had alopecia like scarring alopecia?
@@tomdevine7395 Yes, I did. Any decent Dermotologist could see it. I had no idea what was going on. They call it "scarring" and that sounds ominous, though as you're likely aware, it's an area of shiny scalp. The PRP cost me exponentially more than all the other tests and doctors I would see who finally did diagnose and help me.
Try massaging. A cheap, small massage device will do nicely. 5-10 minutes every day, after 3 weeks you'll know whether it helps or not.
@@stevewise1656 You and I had the same experience. I thought PRP was going to be THE treatment to stop my hair loss. I did the first year of treatment and then talked to a different doctor about transplants. He took one look at my hair follicles and said, “I may be wrong but I think you have scarring alopecia and if that’s the case transplants won’t work”. I went back to my derm and he did a biopsy which proved I did have it. To make matters worse he said that the PRP treatments were a waste of money given that I have SA. Actually, the first thing my derm said when reading the biopsy results was “when did you have malaria?”. I have never had malaria - that I know of - but I spent a lot of time traveling in Asia and got pretty sick a few times so who knows. I would think one would know if it was malaria. Anyways, he said that my blood work indicated exposure to malaria and that might be what kicked off the SA. I did notice a change in 2015 when I started losing leg/arm hair. And I saw an increase in hairline recession. What are you doing for SA? I’ve been on Propecia/Minox for years and that’s keeping it in check but I’m still losing. Receded areas are indeed shiny with no angel hairs. Thanks.
My experience with PRP - My mom, who is in her 70's and balding due to stress, poor health and medical issues had had very good results with PRP. I am in my 50's and suddenly found my hair falling out in huge clumps. Maybe due to menopause and stress, not sure. The first PRP treatment stopped shedding by about 90%. I had two more treatments and did not see an increased benefits and I have not noticed any hair regrowth from any of the treatments. I just started micro needling using a stamp rather than a roller. I follow the stamp with a blend of oils (castor, pumpkin, rosemary hip) and essential oils (frankincense, ylang ylang). I intend to also incorporate minoxidil (I heard that the foam is best if the drops irritate your scalp)
Pls do a video on female pattern hair loss as well, would be really helpful
Shaved my head and never looked back. I have saved tons of money!
Nahh
You are the smartest, I can see guy is wearing wig and is talking how he saved his hair😂
Thank you sooooo much for this video. You are a pro, you are a very generous man. Bless you!!!
Started doing scalp massage 2 times a day, 12 min per session, i don't really see any new hair growing or anything like this, but each session my hair would fall 29, and this have progressively getting lower, now I am at 7 hairs per sessions after 2 weeks. Also, my hair is super super soft now.
One small side effect I had at the beginning was some skin peeling off form my head, but honestly I dont care
how is it now?
pls be careful Robert wants to sell his membership and minoxidil and minasteride are much more researched and much more effective.
One thing that everyone should try is also probiotics + egg combo, it won't hurt you and it's quite cheap. The best probiotics is milk kefir (although I believe milk is inflamatory and not that health, for the hair is the best probiotic or at least the one that worked better for me), and 1-2 eggs just to have these nutrients the hair needs. Don't underestimate the power that these probiotics have.
About the massage...
So, it didn't really change that much, my hair still falls on average 5-12 per session, I still didn't notice regrowth.
My method is, I go on the edge of the bed and position my head towards the ground, kinda upside down, and I cover it with white paper so I know for sure how many hairs are falling. After the session, some hairs are still trapped on your hair, but they fall as result of your massage, so I try to pass my hand in my scalp to get rid of them so I know for sure how many hairs did fall.
The hair texture definitely improved, but it's because the blood flow or you're inducing natural oil production on your scalp?
I definitely would say for anyone that is doing it to give it a try, for me I kinda incorporated this on my daily, so it's not annoying as it was before, but I made a commitment with myself to stay on this for 1 year and see what changes.
I didn't buy anything from Robert, I just got the tips from massaging, so I actually didn't get deep in his website or any of his other methods.
About minoxidil, this gave me a heart condition where I can't use it anymore. I was using for the beard tho. Finasteride I will never use.
@@danke.palaestina That's also true! I think if you're going totally bald and very worried, the thing we know for sure is that minoxidil and finasteride works, but be careful with the side effects! Theyre no joke, and as I said before, minoxidil gave me a permanent condition on my heart that I am treating now
Have you considered less hair fall out because there's less hair to fall out. When you're bald, no hair fall out at all.

My family have accused me for years of having hair replacement because they have lost their hair and i mostly haven't. I am a 6w5, known for being a very self sufficient problem solver. I refuse to wear hats. I massage my head vigorously while washing in the shower and get a complete rinse. I have my wife to scratch my head aggressively once a week. She digs to the point of some bleeding at times. This is because the head forms clogs and layers that hinder hair growth. Digging open those areas deep in the scalp is highly beneficial. When does she stop scratching? When it hurts enough. It goes from feeling amazing to OUCH!! Scratching needs to penetrate the scalp deep enough. A barber told me years ago to never cut my hair short or it wouldn't grow back. He was wrong. I've figured out what works for me and its largely mechanical. And i find it unwise that people would swallow supplements and drugs to solve the problem. The FDA cannot be trusted. And just because nobody has reported an effect doesn't mean there isn't one that will play out years later. I am skepitcal of taking advice from anyone who is selling something related.
Compliments on being willing to do something about your hair.
The women in my family who have been lifelong junk foodies, bordering on heavy drinking then turning to medications instead of making lifestyle changes do tend to have thinning hair by the age of 30. Most of them have lost all of their hair by age 45.
They were negative examples while being great warnings of what to NOT do. My hair didn't start thinning, yet, I still made lifestyle & diet changes. In my 20s, I began eating as natural as possible. Also, I began including a natural protein with every meal as well as turning to a protein as a snack when needed.
The last time I went to a family get together, I was told I got "lucky" with my genetics. I had tried to tell them in the past, what I had discovered. I tried to tell them in as kindly of a way as possible while still telling what worked for me.
It was not received very well.
I keep doing what I'm doing with a full, lush, healthy head of hair.
To the point of bleeding?? Absolutely unnecessary..you only have to wash your hair in a kitchen sink (with your head upside down)
so dirt and sweat falls away from the scalp and not into it./
You sound like a nut case bro…
you're a problem solver and you subscribe to a dubunked theory of blood flow as the cause of AGA (rather than the opposite) and let your wife scratch your head instead of using a dermapen?
@@jinoziniosti5633 I'd think microneedling (with whatever length pins) might be a better idea... as a wife there's no way I'd be doing what he's suggesting - just NO
44 years old here. Just started the big 3 - Minoxidil, Finasteride, Micro needling. Here's hoping.
How is it going with your hair growth?
I'm using littleexttra rosemary reactivate hair growth serum from two weeks. Here is my review:
1- Excellent mix of ingredients
2- Visible results in just 2 weeks that I got from it
3- Lovely bottle with a locking mechanism and quality packaging
4- Not so sticky and simple to apply
Nice try Little Extra CMO
This comment is a scam!You've been warned
I've also been using the Reactivate Hair growth serum for a couple of weeks, and I can already see fresh growth at my hairline.
The difference in my hair thickness is quite good. Thank you reactivate!
Too bad the side effects of your product is death.
WOW...THIS IS MIND BLOWING VIDEO...A BIG THANKS FROM INDIA BROTHER....
I used minoxidl and finestaride, it got better and almost fully filled in. 2 years later I said F it and shave my head when I started losing hair again.
Most freeing thing Ive ever done, i loved having hair but obsessing over it is not something I miss.
Manned up, nice.
Good for you, brother!
Excellent, science-based information. Thank you!
I'm sure you come with good intentions here, but I had some real noticeable side effects with Finasteride. I had very weak erections and semen density was noticeably lower. Once I stopped the medicine - within a week it was back to rock hard erections and everything else was back to normal. Between sexual dysfunction and less hair I reluctantly chose the latter. This is no joke and I'm glad for those whom this medicine is working
Too much info 😂
@@swift_learn actually, the exact amount of info!
U r true. Unknowingly i was taking a medicine which contains finast whcih was unmentioned. I felt my sex desire going down day by day. Usually i have erection kind of feel throughout the day i mean. While follow up the medicine the feel reduced i scared. After stopping taking it. Am back to form. Its follihair they mixing finasteride secretly.
Did you take the 1 Mg pill or topically with minoxidil ? Thanks
I felt the worst I ever felt on finasteride. It was the most depressed drugged up feeling I have felt in my life. I couldn't focus, or concentrate on anything. There's financial reasons to fake data. But even if we take them at their word, 1% reporting side effects doesn't mean those are the only ones who got side effects. Also most people are so depressed, drugged up on caffeine, alcohol, and pot, with poor diets, that they might not notice a negative effect. You have to take all of the reports online, the mice studies, and your own personal experience into consideration when you take drugs.
Thanks 4 such a basic piece of information. Simple and eazy to grasp
Is EVERYTHING a scam??? Geeessshhh
@4444: yeah, it seems so
Damn near
If something is too good to be true then most likely it is
Yes and all the elite and royals are inverted for over 100 years mind blowing
Literally!!! Cherry-picking for marketing is what every single product uses.
Thank you, tanks to you i just saved a lot of years, money and despair. Now you made everything clearer to me, i watched nearly all your videos. Thank you again!
I had male balding pattern starting and tried something stupid simple that actually pretty much stopped my hair loss, I didn't gain any back that I am aware of but at least I stopped thinning out. The answer take hot as hell showers (not scalding hot but not far from it) every night (do a cool down to normal shower temperatures after 3-5 minutes)-I believe this helped in my case cause I probably had clogged pores as now I can actually sweat which I was not able to do very well before so I avoided hot weather like the plague. Note: I also gave up sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup) and breads. Now that my hair is better I backed off on the super hot showers.
What about using a "cold cap" as some people using chemotherapy do, to stop
hair loss? If it stops their hair loss, why wouldn't it work for normal hair loss,also?
@@rongendron8705 That remembers me at this water treatment from Sebastian Kneipp. It doesn't matter if you use very warm or cold water. It' s important to use at last cold or colder water, so the blood circulation will be much better.
Ha ha! Okay bud... remember to go up, you need to go down.
Thank you for the honest and informative video. Glad I found your channel
Good to see you on RUclips, Rob. Looking forward to more content :-)
Thank you!!
I'm a 70-year-old man and I've lost about 38% of my hair. Is it worth me trying finasteride combined with minoxidil spray?
Hey Rob, finally got a channel up! Long time coming...
if i may add, also perfect your sleep patter, diet and exercise regime.
Me I stopped taking Finasteride and replaced it by saw palmetto and and collagen. And my hair regrew. Thank you Dr Berg ❤️
Did you have pattern baldness?
@@dfasht1304 wow. I underestimated the diet then . Thanks for replying 🙂
@@dfasht1304do you suspect that you might have an autoimmune disorder?
What collagen did u use? Did you take it oraly or on the scalp?😅
@@Josh-cf7xfeverybody has autoimmune problems to sugar, that’s why everyone is fat
Why am I watching this as a 16 year old who comes from a family where hair loss is not a big issue... I really need to start doing something better with my time lol
I lost my 3 years in painstaking use of minoxidil and finasteride and got nothing in return other than hairloss
How
try add microneedling
Stop taking them as suppositories.
@@Herbie11looool
FYI.... The study of teatree oil & lavender was faulty. The link actually came from the chemicals in the plastic bottles they stored the essential oils in which leached into the oils.
Hi Rob .
I love your comprehensive videos about hair loss and treatments. You mentioned liposomal finasteride as a potential treatment.
Is there a brand/ company that you would suggest?
I’m a huge fan of biotin ???? I use it and found my hair and nails grow so much quicker . And I’m a person that wouldn’t use anything unless it’s really proving itself .
I don’t know what it does for baldness and hair loss it just definitely grows hair and nails
Thank you for all you covered on this topic.
Only Finasteride together with Minoxidil (either tablet form or topical liquid) will help reverse hairloss, but only then if the hair has miniaturised. Once it's lost and the follicle has died it cannot be brought back to life. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is responsible for male pattern baldness so reducing that is key. Finasteride reduces DHT significantly which improves the hair follicle strength. Minoxidil wont prevent hairloss, but it does stimulate new hair growth from a dying (not dead) follicle. There are some products that reduce DHT like ketoconazole at 2% branded as Nizoral. That's it. Everything else is either fake or still experimental. There is some evidence to show microneedling helps when used in conjunction with Finasteride and Minoxidil.
hair transplant is the only way, if you stop taking these drugs your hair falls out again, so its just a chemical wig, you have to take them for the rest of your life, just spend 3 days in turkey and you will never even have to think about it again,
I just started adding the Chewable Minox from Hims and no side effects, they taste like those sour gummies and i still take the Fin pills ontop of that, i will evaluate after say two to three mths from now. The chewables are not cheap like $1.63 per day for a 3-mth supply, it gets cheaper if you get the 6-mth supply.
#6 - those photos of your hair don’t show that you’ve ever had pattern baldness. 😂
Great information, but the background music is too loud and distracting.
My mother, a nurse, swore all she needed was biotin. She’s nearly bald. I started up in my 30’s and she tried that on me. I went to a hair loss specialist. I am not almost bald. RX HAIR MEDS WORK IF YOU HAVE THE TYPE OF ALOPECIA THAT THEY TREAT. For example, I went on spironolactone when I first noticed and I not only regrew my hair, but grew MORE hair than I had even as a teen. I’d go to the salon and they’d freak out because it was down to my waist almost and thick and lux the entire way down. I’ve never been so happy to have to pay more money to have my hair done lol. It only ended bc I moved to Canada and one doctor decided I was “on too many pills” and refused to refill it. It took two years for my shedding to partially return and 6 years for me to start noticing a problem again. I went back on it and within months my hair was coming back in. Don’t waste your time with anything. Get the scalp biopsy and get the meds
what is RX?
The question is ‘why is your body losing hair?”
@@Organogolddulcegarciprescription
Your mother more likely has a zinc deficiency due to a malabsorption disorder like celiac disease. If she has alopecia diffuse, tell her to look for symptoms of zinc deficiency.
Did you ever get any side effects from spironolactone?
You know it's so true all the important things like breast cancer and the pros and cons and the actual patients side of the stories nobody even comments on these this to me is something very detrimental to men and women more so even women however I'm thankful but I haven't listened to it yet I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget to write this message
Clever ad. I used rosemary tea on my husband.
Guys, this is my advice...I use minoxidil, combined with dermaroller and hand massage, plus I take biotin. For the last 3 month there is def an improvement. Up to you, it is just my experience.
Rob English: 13:34 Wait wait wait, hold on a second! I heard nothing can regrow an area of hair that has been scarred over outside of a hair transplant. Now you're telling me that isn't the case? If microneedling can regrow hair in scarring alopecia, that must mean it generates new follicles that previously didn't exist. If this is what you're implying, then what you're claiming is microneedling is a hair loss cure as it will generate brand new follicles from scratch. Now the only other possibility is this microneedling could reverse a process that is causing an active scarring alopecia but the thing is I've read that doing such things in active scarring alopecia can make the situation worse. Please explain what you mean when microneedling can regrow hair in scarring alopecia and if it can in which types of scarring alopecia will it reverse?
Can you name a brand or what kind of medical grade microneedle device is best please
I didn’t like fin, I had brain fog, insomnia, reduced libido, lethargy, loss of motivation. I was getting all this at .5mg.
Maan 5mg is to much for hair treatment. Normal dosage is 1mg
5mg is only for prostate issues
He said .5 not 5
😂😂😂
Treatment depends on the cause so not same for everyone. Therefore some treatments do work well - example - essential oils because they also work on the mind & root (excuse the pun) of the problem.
Good video though pointing out why many don't work.
Excellent content man. Do you have any info on someone who has longterm hair loss thus roots potentially being dead. Do they regrow if I use treatment now? Thanks.
No. If the roots are dead - they are dead completely.
Though they could be in sleeping state, this way even after a long pause - they can grow back. You should visit a hair specialist to for them to tell you if there are sleeping follicles on your head or they are dead forever.
Chances they are dead higher if you are a male.
