“Luckily, women take care of the issue early.
Early treatment is essential”....:🙄
when 99.99% of health care providers don’t take you seriously and could care less about hair loss at its very early stage.
Try to seek help about hair loss when you show up at a doctor’s office with a head full of hair.
Good luck.
When I was 20 I went to my Doctor. They didn't believe me and didn't even look at my scalp. I told him my hair looks thick but it used to be way thicker! I got him to look at my roots and he said "oh now I see"....he just did the thyroid and iron test. Told me it's all good and that was it....

Doctors who have knowledge and genuine interest in hair loss is a rare species.
Better off doing your own research and try different treatments or supplements on your own.
@Azerty I have yet to find a dermatologist to not blow me off and say: "it's just stress". Such B.S.
You are right ! ..My Doctor said ,wait until next appointment ...You still have lots of hair...WHAT???

Greetings from the 🇺🇸 USA. Thank you so much for your dedication to female pattern baldness. So much is always done for men's medical issues and so little for women's by comparison that we often feel left in the dust. Much appreciated, gentlemen. ❤
I had good results with the 5 percent foam but stopped after abou a year and a half and now, after a few months being off it I'm loosing a ton of hair so I'm going to get back on it today! Best of luck ladies. Minoxidil is kind of a drag in a couple ways but I can testify that it worked great for both me and my seventy five year old mom. Cheers
Can I ask - did you or your mother have bald patches? It's for my mum it's really getting her down 😢
@@pomegranateemporium patches generally is due to alopecia areata which is an auto immune desease so I don't know if she can take finasteride and minoxidil . Else she can wear a wig looks natural and undetectable and totally normal for woman.
Hello! I've been using 5% topical minoxidil for 2 years, all working really well, full head of hair, until 3 months ago when i started experiencing a lot of shedding, more than 500 strands a day, in the shower even more than that. Although that happened, i never stopped using it. I have to mention, my hair is long, and i noticed 1-2 inches long strands falling(from the root , with bulb). May I ask why can this happen? Thanks, your subscriber from the very first episodes!
I tried 5% Minoxidil but started to feel lightheaded and signs of vertigo. So had to give it up after 2 months. I am now on 5% oral fanistride. I’ve had very good results in 4 months ..
however listening to the videos about fanistride I’m worried about long term side effects of the tablets although I don’t feel any yet.
At age 67, have short hair with diffuse hair loss. For at least a year, I have used the men's 5% foam once a day or once every two days. I spread it in my hands and rub it all over my scalp. Of course, I don't see any hair growth; however, the hair loss has been greatly reduced. My understanding is that you have to use it forever since your hair will revert to its usual amount of loss if you stop.
My forever started in 50s, and ok with it. Younger guys, get a good dermatologist first, get to the root cause. Hairloss is emotional, almost mental health for some.
Your video’s are great, could you discuss PRP therapy and if its a good option?
Since I began using litttllextraa cocoonniion shampoo and hair conditioner, there's been a good reduction in hair fall. My hair feels softer and looks shinier. Compared to using other shampoos I faced more hair fall. Additionally, I now use a scalp massager which I believe is also helping reducing hair fall.
I used Littlellextra Cocoonnion oil, and it’s really effective. It contains high levels of sulfur and potassium, which boosts scalp blood flow, resulting in hair growth and hair fall control. One of the key ingredients is onion and coconut oil, which help boost new hair growth.
Very good point using the term “ systemic”. What i think you should have warned people is that, using a systemic/ an oral version of minoxidil means that is will be metabolized in the liver, so that is a risk that people should be aware of. Am i right? Have a wonderful week-end... from Romania, Europe.
Yes, absolutely! Greetings Romania!!
Thank you guys so much for what you’re doing. Do you mind sharing your thoughts about dermarolling?
They have done in other videos
Very informative video, but can you guys please do a video on topical finasteride and topical dutasteride please !!
I've gained,so far, about 20% of my lost hair back using a combination of prp, aldactone, and oral minoxidil. I'm a 50 year-old woman who started losing her hair at age 20. It's not hopeless.
I’m new to this channel. I’m a “healthy” 30 y/o women. I recently had some blood work done and everything is fine but I’m currently loosing excessive amount of hair. It might be due to stress(work). I also lost around 115 pound(I saw this could be a cause for hair loss in another of your videos)....Have you done any video for this type of hair loss? How can I treat this? The thought of hair loss is probably giving me more stress than my job. 😕
Weight loss can cause hair loss but the hair loss should stop and the hair will grow back once at a stable weight. If hair loss is not due to stress/weight loss/health challenges, then try Spironolactone 100mg twice a day.
Hii doctors, wonderful guidance! I would like to know if minoxidil could be used for treating hair loss that's lost due to illness? Or should just vitamin tablets be taken?I also want to know whether minoxidil always causes alarming shedding?
I tried to tell my doctor when I really started to lose hair, and she thought it was my thyroid. Well I beat the thyroid thing, but my hair is still falling out. I went to a dermatologist and he said it was female pattern baldness, which I thought was strange since my dad and mom had full heads of hair up until their passing. I am really scared to take the Rogaine. Can you use the 1X 5% at night?
Sir I used Rogaine for women and just after the using it 2 consecutive days once per day I got edema/ swelling around my eyes and on cheeks. And that swelling condition got better in one week. I tried putting review on their website but they removed my review.
Iiiipp
Very helpful thank you.
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT MINOX SIDE EFFECTS! So many report bad skin, faintness /dizziness .
Come on guys , please address this! It happened to me - I just wish there was a way to mitigate these effects.

@@joshuastam7704 + Hey I just tried that address but it wasn't right?
What do you think of the 2% solution twice a day? I tried the 5% (solution) and had a very dramatic increase in body and facial hair. On the 2% I don't at all have that problem, which is not surprising because in the US for the solution version the women's is 2%. Is it still helpful? I was diagnosed with iron deficiency, by the way, ferratin being 12 and have been supplementing that for several months. The shedding has gone down to half of what it was, do you think that's a normal response? It seems to be kind of slow to me. Thank you so much! Great videos!
Make sure you have enough Iron, Vitamin D, Vitamin B, and amino acid Lycine. All are important for healthy hair.
Thank you gentlemen for the informative video you created for us women! I use the men's 5% Minoxidil PG liquid. For me this is easier for me because the pipette helps deliver the product to the scalp with more precision. I didn't know that it was available in an oral form. Is there a risk to the liver and/or kidneys since it's systemic and goes through the gut? Do you recommend spironolactone to increase efficacy?
Glad you found it useful. The thing with oral Minoxidil in women is that it stimulates hair growth everywhere. Certainly I do use spironolactone as well in conjunction. You need to speak with your prescribing dr. All the best.
The Hair Loss Show thank you, appreciate your advice.
Are you still using the liquid? I just started liquid/foam a few months ago. Wasn’t really going bald or anything. But had the AGA pattern in front. Never diagnosed but it is obvious to me. Since I put it all over I have had the worst dread shed and have lost much of my hair. Ha. I started to use my husband’s at first which is the liquid with the pippette. Then it made me itch. Now I mainly use the foam but here and there use the liquid which I think gets to my scalp more efficiently. Sorry for the long response. Just wondering how you’re doing now. Beat wishes
@@TheHairLossShow I am panicking now , all my hair is falling down, can I use topical Minoxidil after hair keratin ???

I've been thinning on my crown since I had the Mirena coil inserted. No doctor would listen to me and said the coil wasn't causing it. After 5 years my hair was so thin, I had the coil removed and the amount of hair I was losing cut in half. It's now 8 years and it's still thin, it never recovered! I'm 39 and will be hitting menopause soon, am I going to thin even more? Will I be bald? Will rogaine work for me?
Am so grateful to DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on CZcams for curing me From hair loss 🤩🤩
Rogain and finastride together will grow back all your hair
So do I have this correct. I can apply minoxidil in the morning when I get up, then 1 hour later I can shower and wash my hair and it won’t “wash” the effects of the product away?
I use it at night.
I think it should be four hours from what I have heard.
I'm convinced now!! about to start minoxidil tomorrow, wish me luck
Then there is this : I have a tendency to lose hair now more since I lost a child five years ago . Trauma . So when I have stress now I shed etc ..
I had covid staring early July , no respiratory etc and hospital but REAL sick for about three weeks , bad stuff was two weeks .
Then early September tons of hair loss and it’s still going as of October 5. I had been on good hair vitamins and MINOXIDIL for over a year but it’s possible it made my hair fall even more with the illness ? Hair that was slated to fall had not … until it did .
My hair grows very fast so maybe coming out fast , but for how long ??🤔😣😣😣
Anybody have any insight on this . Very depressing for sure .
I have been using minoxidil for number of years , now because of high blood pressure issues do I have stop it ? In that case what can I replace it to stop losing more hair? Please help me

Why they don’t answer my question?
Why they don’t answer my question?
Can you use minoxidil and dermarolling in telogen effluvium?
I do have a question. What do you know about castor oils and rosemary oil applied topically for hair loss. Do either one of them actually work or is it all an old husband's tale?
Hi, can I do both? Half of a 2.5 pill and also apply foam to my scalp? Thx!
I'm 30 years old and my hair has been thinning since I was 22 or 23. It's been gradually getting more and more thin...after I used to have really thick, beautiful hair :( I just started minoxidil. Is it possible for my hair to get back to its original thickness even after all this time?
What is your opinion about the Zix formula(b6+zinc)? google zix (i know you cant prescribe it, just wanted to know your opinion on that if you have any)
Hello, I just found this video and found it really helpful, but I found that a side effect can be facial hair growth, and as I already struggle with that I don't want it to get worse. Anyone has any experience on that case with taking the oral one?
Great work guys! I have a question.... Does minoxidil cause wrinkles because it messes with collagen and does it cause dark circles ? I'm really concerned about this... Thank you!:)
Omg i have the same question i hope they answer!
@@Lizymcdyb Nope. Just don't let it roll down to your face and you'll be fine.
I’m guessing it gets on the pillow case and on your face over time
My sister mother and all my aunts on my mom’s side has it! This is really terrible! It started with my grandmother. Except her no one in her family had it!!! She should have taken care of her health! Feel like there’s some type of curse that she inherited and all the women are inheriting! This is so mean I hate it!
Is androgenetic alopecia always genetic?
Hello and thanks for a great series! Can you recommend any LLLT devices?
i suffer from female pattern hair loss but i have had every blood test that you mentioned in the previous video and nothing has came up as abnormal. my hormones are fine, my iron is fine, everything is normal. so maybe its genetics but i think it's just me and my sister as my mum and dads side of the family, the women have full heads of hair. with that in mine, would that mean these treatments help me? the doctors have not been able to help me and i've been left to my own devises. i have been to a dermatologist who confirmed i have female pattern hair loss/androgenic alopecia and he wasn't able to help me, he referred me to the hair specialist which hasn't happened yet due to coronavirus - what do you think in your humble opinion is the best thing for me to do? thank you
just to add - the dermatologist prescribed me a quarter of minoxidil tablets a day and it made no difference in the hair in my head, it took it for about three months everyday and he told me to stop? is that wrong?
@@NuraM444 3 months is too soon to see a result. I would suggest continuing with this.
I would certainly make sure that you see a specialist. Even during this time, people are doing telemedicine consults. Usually most blood tests come back normal anyway. All the best.
@@TheHairLossShow hi thank you so much for your quick response. unfortunately this was back in february and i have binned the tablets already :( I will have to see if the hair specialist referral comes through so that i can see what they suggest i do. it's so frustrating as i don't think the dermatologist knew much about female pattern hair loss and just told me to stop taking the minoxidil tablets as soon as he saw me after the three/four month check up..
@@NuraM444 That is a shame. 3 months is way too short of a period to assess what is happening. Good luck with the appointment.
Are there any good topical alternatives to minoxidil? What about Redensyl?
Can you make EFFECTIVE topical finasteride - without monoxidil - at home and how? (It's not available in the UK)
my mother is experiencing hair loss. She's middle aged and is going through menopause. She's in her 50s also has low blood pressure. Would finasteride be a good prescription to ask for?
Hello doctor, What dosage of finasteride do you prescribe to your female patients in the start. My doctor just started me with 1mg of finasteride every day, but I read that higher doses like 2.5 / 5 mg are required in women. Please let me know
There is a video that address it. They start with 1mg for women of childbearing age. In post-menopausal women, it’s higher.
@@beachhum How much higher dosage for post menopause
I have this hair loss issue specially at the crown since a few years now and this balding issue is hereditary. In such a case can I start using minoxidil without prior consultation and in that case should I use the 2% or 5 % for women
This is exactly my case I use 5% and in 4 months I totally saw very good results
I'm just 23, why is my hair falling off 😭😭😭
Hi! So, I need to use it for ever?
Does dying hair with chemicals regularly worsen Androgenic alopevia?
Does topical minoxidil also show results in hairfall with dandruff in women ??
It also comes in a liquid dropper form.
That would be the solution as apposed to the foam.
Will finasteride affect fitness in anyway like the cardiovascular system or skeletal muscle?
Search for.the drug card of the medicine they usually include adverse symptoms (e.g cardiovascular diseases, thrombitic diseases, etc) and excretion way(e.g though kidney or liver and so if you have history of hepatic or renal diseases is better to avoid de medicine and before use consult a doctor)
Does using minoxidil and laser increase the stimulation (ie double the benefits) or is one or the other better?
Honestly using both is the best along with some dermarolling/micro needling for best results.have a Google regarding minoxidil with micro needling.
Thank you guys you just saved me loads of time I know now not to go to gps
I am a 26 year old on thyroxin, my hairloss become worse post- covid ( since last 14 months).
my thyroid profile is normal ( with medication)
what should I do now?
I develop allergic reaction to both 5% and 2% minoxidil. With swollen earns, forehead n eyes. Is there some other form of treatment for me. I have female pattern hair loss with hypothyroidism.
You can try Trichoxidil which is the natural alternative and LLLT
Can you please give your opinion on micro-needling/dermarollers on hairgrowth for men.
Watch this space... will be filming on that topic next week...
@@TheHairLossShow thank you
I have problems with DHT because of PCOS and I dunno what to do.
My doctor told me to use the 2% for my female pattern hair loss because 5% minoxidil significantly increases facial hair (as a side effect)
And I've been using 2% for 4 years now
Should I switch to 5% ?
It acts where you apply it. So as long as it doesn't drip down to your face, it will be fine. I usually suggest 5% minoxidil for women that I treat.
@@TheHairLossShow + Unfortunately I tried using 5 per cent - it acted fast but it started growing all across my forehead! Im switching to 2 per cent!
@@cristinadriviera8144 The 5% made me have a dramatic increase in body and facial hair, but that isn't the case for me with the 2%. I use it 2x a day.

@@maddie8415 did you get good results using the 2% version ?

I am shedding A LOT on minoxidil. Maybe 1000 and over on wash days, and 500 on non-wash days. Currently in the shedding phase (week 5). My hair is already super thin so losing this much hair is alarming. Would you say this is normal or is this a bad reaction (if there is such?) I'm not over exaggerating as I have suffered with chronic TE for years and know what shedding is like.
@jengira Hi, I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you better know, one month after your post?
Jengira Begue Hang in there, dear! I lost hair exactly as you did( 1000 per wash, at least!) in the shedding phase that, for me, lasted 3 months! But i didn’t give up, and a have regrowth and now i only lose 10-20 hairs a day, and not more than 50 per wash!
That's great news - it means the minoxidil is working!!! When you first start, minoxidil "reboots" your growth cycle. The first 3 months are very difficult, but stay with it... you will start to see regrowth at around 6 months. Maximum regrowth is achieved at about 12 months. Congrats on the fact you are responding - it means your results will be good!!

PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION: DOES MINOXIDIL CAUSE WRINKLES AND AGES YOU??
im 21 years old and started regaine foam due to female pttern hair loss. But i have puffy eyes in the morning, then through more research i found that alot of people reported minoxidle causes wrinkles, dark circles and ages you.
I actually have never heard that and have done so much research on hair loss. I'm not at all a doctor or expert, though. For me the problem is that when I used the 5% I had a dramatic increase in body and facial hair, I switched to the 2% (twice a day) and that problem is totally gone.
Is there a Part 2? Can't find it. Thank you.

My girlfriend suddenly started seeing more hair in the shower and in her brush. Suddenly seeing more shedding. 2.5 months ago she was sick with covid and I know illness affects it. Should it just pass in a month or do you recommend her trying anything to support growth?
How has her hair been since then? Wishing her the best :)
i am sorry this question might be unrelated to the video,but i just want to ask ,what is the minimum safe age to start taking finasteride,i am 20m ,have been using minoxidil for the past 1 and half year,hairfall has reduced but there is still some hairfall and my hairline is quite thin,so i am planning on starting fin,although i dont want hinder my natural growth ,so can i satrt taking finasteride after i turn 21? should i have to wait longer?
It sounds like you should start sooner rather than later. Good luck.
How much ml of 5% minoxidil should I use once a day?
Don’t use minoxidil. It’a bad for you.
You can’t really control where the hair will grow. It’s a very temporary solution.

My dermatologist just prescribed 10% minoxidil and 0.1% finnastaride topical. Have you ever heard of this?
That's a great prescription. Good dermatologist
@@dantheman1337 why do you say that?
@@N00pe731 start with 5%.. 10% is too much for women and not required.
10% minoxidil is excessive and doesn't contribute extra benefit. The curve flattens at around 5%. Beyond that, you're just using more drug.
From Dr. Russell Knudsen's blog
knudsen.com.au/hair-loss-treatment-with-generics/
"there is NO evidence that any strength of minoxidil greater than 5% adds to effectiveness."
Minoxedin is not a solution.
I have tried it. Well, after applying it, I felt hade ache. And that's after every applying. Also it could affect on heart badly.
And the worth thing, if you stop using it, all hair will fall. All.
