Hair Loss - How To Grow Hair Back

I see a dermatologist and take Minoxidil.

Hello,

Thank you for this info.

I have been taking a zinc supplement every day for about two months, and that has helped.

Also, for hair products, I use WOW (must be used with blow dryer, to activate). It really works! Makes hair thicker.

But be careful with the zinc. Follow prescribed dosage on bottle!

I really appreciate this, thank you.

Thank you again for the feedback. Much appreciated!

HRT quickly stopped my hair loss. Seems like the right level of systemic Estradiol ought to help. Do you get all of your hormone levels tested every 2-3 months?

I think my 72 year old mom uses Minoxidil and it helps a bit. She also refuses any estrogen so I'm sure that has contributed to her thin hair.

I’m in my sixth month of HRT. The hair loss or shedding is challenging but so far no areas that look bald.

Thank you for reaching out.

I take a half tablet (1.25mg) of Minoxidil daily. I started about 15 months ago, and my parts have filled back in. Since this dose gives me good results with no side effects, I plan to stay with it as is. I'm very pleased, and my hair dresser is shocked at how well it's working!

Thank you for sharing! I am struggling with thinning hair and a couple of bald spots . I am 70, and this all just hit over the last 3-4 years .
What kind of medical specialist does one see for hair loss ?
