My hair loss started a little bit, which was unnoticeable, before I had chemo in the year 2012 at age 66. I lost all of my hair at that time but it grew back thinner. It has progressively gotten worse with about 20 to 30 strands of hair shedding each time I wash my hair. I was diagnosed with Androgenetiic Alopecia and my dermatologist recommended applying Rogaine for Men (5% foam). Apparently, once hair starts to grow, it will stay for as long as it is used. However, the hair will begin to fall out again a few months later when the application is stopped. I am concerned about the long-term side effects of Rogaine. I’m wondering if there is anyone in the group who has used natural remedies over medical interventions to treat this condition.
