Hello. I am needing info if I can use clove by mouth or on scalp for loss of hair. I am losing handfuls every time I brush my hair

I have a noticeable sprig in the front of my hairline and that’s taking half dose. Plan is to increase the dose. How much are you taking?

That’s great! They started me on 1.5 mg, to make sure I could tolerate it well first.

I also wanted to add that my thyroid has been checked and it was fine…I have male pattern baldness, I lose my hair at the temple and in the crown…it’s not common so I feel like a freak…I’ve had this since I was a young girl and I still remember the hurtful teasing I got in school, children can sometimes be very cruel. I learned to style my hair later on to hide it but I would use hairspray to keep it in place, I must say the wind was not my friend 👍😊

There are a multitude of products and treatments that claim to help with hair loss, some of them actually help but you have to stay on them, if you stop the new hair growth will fall out. I also know that Monoxidril, I might have misspelled it, can be bought without a prescription but it does affect your heart and this worries me so I’ve never tried it, I use Biotin every three months, then stop for three months, it helps with slowing down fallout but the results are small. I know there’s a lot of research going on with this problem but I haven’t heard of anything major yet except in the UK where they can actually grow new hair in the labs but I don’t know much about it. I hope one day they will find something that works and is safe to use for those who need it.
