I’ve dealt with hair loss for years, I actually have male pattern balding which affects a small number of females, lucky me. The thinning out is at the temples so as you age it gets harder to hide, in my younger years I always had a high part line so my hair was fuller on both sides. I got teased a few times growing up and it was very hurtful but children can be quite cruel at times. I know for men they try to hide the thinness with a comb over but it doesn’t work too well for women. I’ve tried many products that claim to work but they never really did, one that does show results is Monoxidril, it’s topical so you rub it into your scalp, the downside is, it can affect the heart and if you stop applying it the new hair will fall out. I still have my hair and I’m 75, I have curly hair so it’s a blessing along with a good precision cutting hair stylist and it looks pretty good.

@frouke , thanks for that input. I was taking a prescription med that treats male pattern balding, even in women, which they don’t think I have, but was taking as aggressive measure. But had to stop due to side effects. I may try another drug in that family. It was called Dutasteride.

So glad you are doing well. I never heard topical Minoxidil causing problems. I take oral and so far it’s ok.

@frouke I too have male pattern baldness. It started in my 40's and now at 72 is devastating. I do not use chemicals so I never tried any treatments. Yes, lucky us. Have not tried Nutrifol either.
