This is UA-cam at its best: real people, not paid influencers, talking concisely about what worked for them. Thank you. The first thing I noticed in your before & after photos was how much darker your hair got. Was there anything going on to account for that, like the before pics being taking after spending a lot of time in the sun? Or, is it just a byproduct of the hair re-growth?
Hi thank you for reaching out! Your kind words are greatly appreciated, I agree UA-cam at its best is through real people, real results, not paid influencers. Just information that can help others, yes brands can be of use but legit brands that the influencers actually use that help. I'm glad you ask! I have had other comments about the colour difference in my hair, so my hair in the previous picture was really unhealthy whereas the new picture is it back to health. I think the new shampoos and conditioners may have contributed to the colour difference however the actual quality of my hair is so much better to the look and touch. Hope this helps! 😁🙏
I started using minoxidil in my early 20s, after 4 years or so I started to lose ground again. Important to mention that I am NOT on fin due to harsh side effects. I heard that dermarolling could help so I gave it a chance for about 7 months, unfortunately, It did not help. I was about to quit until I discovered a Pen, I started microneedling with a high quality Pen and the results started to kick in. I believe Blood circulation play a huge factor in MPB, that's how Min works wonders, I guess your body gets used to it and then you lose ground again after X years but since I added the Pen, I got tons of regrowth after few months, scalp tension and itchiness has gone almost instantly. Don't give up guys, trust the process and be patience. One more thing, you mentioned Supplements, I truly believe that supplements can't do much if anything unless the person has high deficiency.
you are the only video ive watched that is so honest and straight forward with this information. ill be starting my journey to regrow my hairline in a couple of days.
Hi thank you for reaching out! Your kind words are much appreciated! I'm glad you found the information valuable. I wish you all the best with your hair re growth journey! 😁🙏
Made it to 33 years old and only just started noticing a little bit of hair loss, this video just helps me feel less stressed about it knowing theres ways to help
Same mate lol nobody with thin hair in my family and my thick curly hair has started to fall out in the front area. Literally never thought I could lose my hair and this is one of those comfort videos for me.
baldness is not a problem, its a perfectly natural occurence that most men deal with. If you want your hair fine but theres nothing wrong with being bald.
@@WookieWarriorz most men have so called baldness due to plugged pores from too much sebum production or dirt, be it from the work they do or the stress in life
THANK YOU SO MUCH. My hairline looks incredible. I was scared that it wouldn’t work for me being an African American, but my hairline looks just as good as it did 10 years ago. I used the recommended biotin, Keeps Shampoo & conditioner, and used the minoxidil. It’s been about 6 months. THIS GUY IS THE TRUTH!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Have you tried the drops? I’m currently on my second month of rogaine. ( half bottle in. ) my main issue is my hairline. More of the right side to be exact. I see everyone talking about HIMS but I’ve seen some reviews say it’s for bald cap not for hairline.
@@None-93 I use the drops in the video. I haven’t been as consistent with it as I should, but I had issues with the right side too. It was like a widows peak on 1 side. It’s almost completely even now. I used the Keeps combo for hair wash, but I just orders Hims products to see if I can see different results. I can see new little hairs on my hairline coming in, so I’m going to see how far I can go with this.
I lost my hair at 25 ...30 years ago, mates started calling me Bruce Willis....so i just shaved the lot off and never looked back ...my son is now 25 and going through the same thing....Breaks my heart to see how much its bothering him....back in my day we just shaved it off......you got a bit of stick for a few weeks then everyone gets used to it......well played to you for posting this and I hope it helps a few guys who are struggling....
Since he is just beginning to lose it, it’s completely reversible and you can save him, a year of prp and dutasteride and minoxidil (or bimatoprost) will reverse it
Well man 30 years ago the dating market wasnt so damn harsh. Shits already hard if youre an average dude. Now add balding and you most likely will not get a girlfriend if youre already struggling.
Hey man, not sure if you’re still reading your comments but I wanted to say thank you. I stumbled across your video 7 months ago and it motivated me to take action vs. whining to myself and my wife about my hair loss. After 6 months topical fin/min my results are amazing… feels better than I could have imagined. “you have to do it everyday, treat it like brushing your teeth”.. appreciated that part. Thank you!!! Great video
I'm glad to hear it! It's great you're in a better place now and you should be proud of your progress. You're welcome and wishing all the best. You took the action, well done!
I'm personally dealing with a receding hairline and I too, am looking for the natural stuff to try and stimulate the growth. This was very helpful. Thank You for sharing!
@@spike8683You cant just use ninoxidil, cause you will still go bald cause youre not focusing in the the cause for baldness. You gotta block DHT. Personally I use finasteride in a minoxidil solution and I apply it topically. I use a 0,01% 1ml a day finasteride solution. So the exposure is 0,1mg of fin a day.
@spike8683 Peppermint oil and saw palmetto oil mixed together buy a dropper bottle mix them together and massage this into your hair every night after a head massage and in 6 months you should see improvement
Quite good video. Few things worth mentioning: 1. Minoxidil - you need to use 1ml just ONCE a day. It stays in skin for 21-22 hours so 2nd dose is a waste. Its advertise to use twice a day to increase the amount u buy. 2. He didnt mention Vit D3 - very important. 3. It is important the way u use those shampoos. Some you need to hold on head for 4-6min. If u just wash it off straigh away they wont work.
The dosages are based on the studies that did the research originally. Those studies used fin once daily and min twice daily but some people may respond well at a lower dose.
Done this for about 3 years when I started seeing hints of thinning at the back of my head. Full head of thick hair after around 90 days. Nowadays I do finasteride every other day just because I am just maintaining. Also worth noting is that most schampoos have demiticone/silicone in them (thats what makes them very thick and paste-like, ex. Head&Shoulders) which will coat your head with a layer of whatever afterwards. Doing this schampoo and then trying to apply Minioxidil will make it harder for the Minioxidil to get through and take effect. Also, when in the shower and using your schampoo, do a bit of a massage session while you're at it, it helps stimulate the hair follicles.
Right on! Finasteride is the best out there. Been on it for 4 months and the stuff really works. Maintenance dosages can even go to .5mg every other day.
There's loads of DHT inhibitors going through various research trials in the US and China at the moment. The way I see it is in 5 or 6 years there's surely going to be lots of great stuff on the market to essentially cure hairloss, so it's about keeping your hair until that point.
Hi thank you for reaching out! That's amazing to know and hear, I agree, I think in the next 5 years we will see tremendous progression with potentially curing hairloss. 😁🙏
Yeah! Especially Pyrilutamide which can be expected next year and GT20029 which is the most promising one , GT is the most effective one so far and is used once or twice per week!
The algorithm worked well. I trust a person like you who is simply sharing their experience more than a brand. I think I have a very similar type of hair as you so I will have a look at the minoxidil. So, thank you for sharing, documenting your journey, providing advice, expectations, tip and tricks.
My hair used to be thick, but I have started to get a receding hairline as of late. Not quite to your before pictures but I am well on my way there. Thank you for the info, ordering all this asap.
Great video mate👍 I wish I came across this kind of thing in my early 20s, I would have been proper on it! it’s probably way too late for me now, as I’m now a Norwood 7, plus I’m mid 40s, but back then, I got real down about my hair loss. It’s actually quite refreshing to see a genuine, normal guy trying to help others, thanks for taking the time😀
Hi thank you for reaching out! Thank you for your kind words, the reason I shared the video was to share my experience and be able to help others, I believe we work better together and all can work together to achieve the results we desire. There might still be hope for you mate! I reccomend reaching out to one of these brands (don't worry I'm not affiliated or anything or trying to sell you anything!) These are just the brands that I personally use; Hims Keeps DS Labratories These are all professionals in the field of hair loss and believe will be able to help you further. I hope this helps, keep me up to date with your progress! 😁🙏
@@jesterwaterwizard2917 My hair was thinned out for 20 years. I shaved my head daily. Minoxidil is the best way to grown your hair back. I recommend if you can seeing a dermatologist. They can also prescribe you finasteride to take with it. I actually use Foam Monoxidil but after seeing this video I think I will switch back to the liquid drops as it seems more concentrated. Monoxidil and finasteride work great in tandem and will help you grow your hair back faster. Understand though it could take from 6 months to a year before you really start seeing results? Most people will see it after 6 months. I didn't really see it till after a year! So don't lose hope! Keep at it daily and never let up. You'll be glad to have a full head of hair again!
I always had a naturally high hairline and it started to recede further. Like you, that didn't bother me, I always disliked my hairline anyway and I started shaving my head for around two years. Then got bored sh*tless from doing it and decided to hop on treatment. Starting to see more results, slowly but surely. Starting to see tiny baby hairs on my forehead and bigger regrowth on temporal recession. On the big three for 7 months.
I’m 20, I started losing hair about a year ago, but I didn’t do anything about it until last month. Right now I’m taking Minoxidil every day twice and I use a Derma roller 1.5mm every 2 weeks. I also plan on taking biotin and rosemary oil. Shampoo wise, I got myself the hims shampoo and conditioner to see if it works. Wish me luck 🙏 if anyone has suggestions please let me know!
I use the 0.25mm roller and haven't used it enough to see anything but have you seen any results with the 1.5? I got a microneedler for 100 dollars and have yet to use it but hear it's the best thing to try.
@@jackx5750 I’m only about a month in and I used it about 3 times. I did feel the those open needled spots once I applied it, but I can’t say that I have seen significant change yet only slight. Most significant change is after 2 to 3 months of consistent use. Another side effect of using minoxidil is having more hair loss in the first 8 weeks and I can definitely attest to that. I had my hand full of hair when I showered.
Ive looked for over 10 years for so.ething to work and honestly the only thing that worked was ....10% minoxidil using a 1mm derma roller LIGHTLY every night 4 nights a week, and on the 5th night push firmly with the 1 mm derma roller and leave 2 days to heal before starting the routine again . I originally thought every night would be too much but I've learned that done properly this far better than just using a roller every week or month.
@@historias-aburridas Thats the reason I am scared to try it out 100% it will work but once we stop it will be back to orignal , but I don't have alopecia it's just hair thinning and a Hari fall will it effect me after stopping it ?
@@DanishKhan-rc5vi Do you have a receding hairline? If you don't but hair is overall thinning wait 6 months, that's how long it takes for hair to grow back after telogen effluvium. If it doesn't grow back then you're probably diffuse thinning and balding and should use minoxidil. You have to use any hair loss treatment for life including things like finasteride and minoxidil. Don't let that scare you.
I learned this while taking care of my beard, but something many, i would argue almost everyone sleeps on is combs. Many round style combs with the pin style teeth work well on a budget, but i would seriously seriously encourage picking up one or more, try and see how they style for you, good quality combs (or picks) like Chicago Combs, the Carbon Fiber ones, and or Kent Combs. This is regardless of balding state or otherwise. Vast majority of people are all using combs that can either and often both destroy ones hair, or irritate our skin, neither which you want. Most straight combs essentially have microscopic straight edge blades in them from the printing process. Especially recommend Chicago Combs, any type that works, because the tips of the teeth are so smooth its very hard to ever irritate your skin with them. All these are more expensive, but not extreme in range of 10-20$, but they also in both cases are products that last years so very worth it.
GREAT TIP: The areas loosing hair hurt when you Massage 💆♂️ them. Rub the hairloss area in a circular motion until the pain goes away. For me it’s muscle tension from overthinking. Massage the scalp to relive the tension.
@@hopefullyanonymous3466 ❤️ Once the tension/pain is gone, the hair feels like it can grow again. Lavender is really really good for it too. Good luck. 🙌🏽
nobody in my family is bald... my dad, uncles, and grandparents all have a full head of hair ... and then there's me balding at the top of my head at 24... fucking brutal...
Probably the best regrowth on UA-cam. If anyone is reading this don't waste your time watching any others. Others are doctors with a full set of hair talking about this and but this guy talks about the main blockers that the doctors do. The only difference is this guy is living proof that it can work. Nice job
Hi thank you for reaching out! Your kind words are greatly appreciated! I'm glad you found the video informative and would reccomend it. I wanted to share my experience so others could hopefully achieve the results also 😁🙏
Yes it was a great transformation ,however I’m wondering what a combo of oral finasteride and oral minoxidil would do for ya ? that combo seems unbeatable, definitely gonna buy the shampoo and conditioner as well
I appreciate this guys efforts but he’s actually misinforming on a lot of points. Biotin does not block DHT. Minoxidil does not block DHT. DHT isn’t even the main culprit of hair loss. And keeps is a ripoff. There is a much better versed guy with much better results. Look up hair regrowth with Alex, he will give much more detailed and accurate information.
I've done all the stuff you present here in this video and to be blatantly honest, none of it really made a noticeable difference in the long run, however after I gave up on all the products/supplements and just started eating clean (no fast food, no seed oils, unprocessed, preferably organic) , reduced alcohol consumption, and switched to natural/clean shampoo & conditioners, my hairline has magically improved significantly on its own. I literally have a better hairline now in my 40s than my entire 30s. I'm of the belief that it's exposure to environmental toxins (which are present in practically every cheap/garbage consumer product!) more than any DHT-related stuff, that was causing the majority of my hair loss.
Thanks fellas I herd also get some more sunlight on it also we all need that ....I can't lie I stay inside to much watching UA-cam videos need to get out more I little everyday I'm 44 and have noticed it's thinning pretty bad right their ...I also were a hat all the time lately so...stay healthy good luck with your hair growth
I agree seed oils, food dyes, preservatives and all the other chemicals in our food are slowly killing us in the US. Europe is lucky and have much better quality food.
I’m 59 and going bald, my son hooked me up to your video, he’ll buy the products for me and, I will get back to you on how well they did or did not work. Thanks kid.
Thanks bro. Haven't started to lose my hair yet, but I have super fine and thin hair so you can see my scalp so I've really wanted to try and thicken it up
I am impressed with your video, thank you for sharing . I wanted to know more on why they say not to use the product on top and front of the scalp and only in the back. Most men need it on top and front. Very confusing because I purchased products with the 5% minoxidil and the directions say the same thing. But why.
Hi thank you for reaching out! I'm happy that the information has given you value! I believe we all work better together to achieve the results we desire 😁🙏
Hi thank you for reaching out! I'm glad to hear you have found the video informative! I wanted to take the most natural route possible just through personal choice, thank you for your kind words 😁🙏
Great job, super clear process and fabulous results. You hair is so PRETTY and healthy looking. Bravo! And good on you for generously sharing and explaining your process to try and help others!
Hi thank you for reaching out! Thank you very much for your kind words, my point was to give value to those who feel uncertain about their hair loss. To share my experience in hopes that I can help others achieve results also 🙏 we're all in this together, keep smashing life and thrive my friend! 💪😁
Great video this is 100% accurate I grew my hair back with the same products I'm an African American male and this work only downside like you said you have to do it for the rest of your life daily thanks for the video! Congratulations
Kudos to you for creating such an informative and engaging video. There are completely natural recipes for preventing hair loss that anyone can make at home, and they are very effective. What's best about them is that after you stop using them, your hair remains the same, it doesn't start falling out again. I believe Norlest has all these recipes and products. Check it out.
@@tomlancepeatDear Tom, thank you very much for your very wonderful informative video. What is the current status of her hair? I am from the Netherlands and cannot buy Kirkland 5% Minoxidil via Amazon. It will not be shipped to my country. I don't get a doctor's prescription either. Do you know a solution? Greetings Kees
Thank you for your video. As you mentioned, using chemicals like minoxidil is a temporary fix. If a person stops using them, hair falls out again. This time around, though, all the hair falls out that would've been gone while the chemicals were used; this means, the person has less hair than when the chemical treatment began. After searching on UA-cam, I discovered videos that praised the benefits of onion juice. I applied onion juice three times weekly and my barber noticed a difference without me asking. The process might be a little slower than synthetic chemicals, but the results last longer. Not only that, but my grey hair regained color. Later, I saw videos about using rosemary oil, which works, also. The key is to not just apply them and walk away, but to message it into your scalp to bring circulation back AND fight DHT. I put the natural substances in a bowl and use a rubber scalp massaging brush to massage it into my scalp for about an hour while watching television, UA-cam, whatever. The key is to maintain fresh applications while stimulating circulation; bring blood back to the scalp. It may seem like work, but it's really simple, brings color back to your greys, regrows hair in the bald spots and doesn't fall out once you stop treatment.
W/V stands for weight over volume. Its the ratio of the weight (mass) of the solute (minoxidil in this case) to the volume of the liquid (the other ingredients).
Finally someone normal from the UK. great results and really good that you kept it as natural as possible. I don’t think you mentioned if you got any side effects, such as low libido/ ED/ watery seaman. Would be good to know.
I'd try applying other topicals first. You could mix yourself up some using a mortar and pestle using a dropper bottle, a bit of vodka, water, niacinamide, caffeine (pro plus) and zinc oxide, copper oxide. zinc and copper ions reduce DHT in the skin whilst caffeine stimulates like minoxidil.
Hi thank you for reaching out! Thank you for your kind words 😁 I haven't experienced any negative side effects, no low libido (including no watery seamen lol!) Only small things like a little dry skin on area where applying topical Minoxidil but I wash away any excess so it's no big deal. Hope this helps! 😁🙏
This is very valuable, my hairline looks exactly like yours did... It's something that's been getting to me as time goes on, I'm definitely going ro implement this 👍🏻
Good video of taking the "fast result" dreamers and giving a talk of "time and consistency" that will make the difference. Personally I'm probably to far gone, this Is a good introduction of where to start looking when I'll give it a try to get some back.
Great presentation, thank you for sharing your journey and results. I’ve seen some research that says DHT is a symptom of something else, not the main cause, hopefully we get closer to finding an actual cause soon 🙏🏽
Dht is caused from an enzyme that converts testoerone. You inhibit it by I taking zinc, omega 3 and b2. My guess is the lack of inhibitor production is because of too much omega 6. This comes from the diet we eat with seed oils and fried foods, etc. requires a diet change basically
@@nicolausthothmes2325 i noticed my hair was thicker in my early 20s when i ate a lot a good diet of clean whole food and salad and a lot of Tuna Fish sandwiches with omega 3 in them and vitamin supplements and stuff like niacin (to grow taller) and just taking a whole vitamin in general ... im 31 and i have a widows peak and trying to grow back my hairline naturally ... i think i should try a derma stamp or roller seeing as ive never used one ... along with natural oils like castor and coco oil etc first before i try midoxidil or finasteride ...
I went on Minoxidil & Finasteride many years ago & it worked. My hairloss was much more severe so it didnt regrow it as well, but it was a still a night and day difference. I got tired of taking them though and stopped ~4 years ago. Of course all that hair I regrew is now gone and even more now. I'm thinking of going back on them. Especially because I'm older now and finasteride helps with prostate issues which most men my age have.
Rosemary oil has a similar effect as Minoxidil. Nizoral 2% blocks DHT in the scalp. Multivitamin, protein, sleep. High and frequent carb and sugar diets spike blood sugar insulin and DHT.
I started topical finasteride/minoxidil 18 months ago. I am over 50 and my hair has improved to a level that it was at age 25. The trick is to get on before its too late. The more hair you have the better it works. I look at the before and after pics and I can’t believe the difference. My results are on par with a 1200-1500 graft hair transplant. Zero side effects with the topical. 😎
Thank you for taking the time to create and share this informative content. My good friend used Norlest's natural hair recipes, and his hair started growing back normally without falling out. I was shocked.
Your transformation is INSANE, and so very inspiring! I feel a bit like a fraud coming here and commenting, because I'm not even sure if I'm losing hair - I've never had my hair as long as it is (pfp for reference) but I keep noticing how much hair comes out in my brush, or even the amount of times I find long hairs in my clothes throughout the day. It could be the simple fact that I'm not used to losing hair this length, but I really don't want to take that chance. It also doesn't help that I've always had a pretty big forehead all my life 😂 In any case, your video has been really informative! You've inspired me to start taking better care and keeping a closer eye on the situation. Even if it's just a simple case of paranoia, I keep getting ads for Keeps and Hims, and whenever I tie my hair back it kinda freaks me out to see how big my forehead is looking these days! Since I'm not sure yet, I don't know that measures as drastic as minoxidil and finasteride are in order, but I'll keep it at the top of my mind (as I have for the past few months...). Would it be worth seeing a dermatologist or even my primary doctor about my concerns? I'm not really sure what can be done in that regard, but I'd really love to know all my options. Thanks again for making this incredibly important video - most people just seem to shrug off male baldness or even find it a bit a joke. Glad to see some support and unbiased information out there! :)
personally I wish i had gotten ahead of it. its good (in my opinion) to get it checked out early rather than later. theres also denial for some people, which i think i was one of them for a long time. im glad im not anymore but goddamn id like to keep my hair
@@Klay_Dubya you make a really really good point…think it’s time I made an appointment. Better to waste an unneeded doctor visit than constantly agonize over whether or not I might be losing hair 😅😅😅
have a look into a ketoconazol shampoo such as nizoral mate it’s a great shampoo (designed for treating dry scalp) which also blocks dht. it’s cheap and really helps reduce shedding
I can't use minoxidil sadly because of my scalp psoriasis but I think biotin should definitely work for me. Anyone with the same issue please stay away from minoxidil it will make your psoriasis worse!
Have u tried the foam? Also you can get the liquid without alcohol- this is what i use and i have flare ups of seb derm which I treat with a few drops of tea tree oil in a shampoo without malasezia feeding oils
This is a great video, kudos! I follow basically the same hair loss regime but added micro needling. I would highly recommend adding micro needling if you’d like to speed up the hair growth process. Good luck gents!
I am not sure if anyone else mentioned that, but since you said you take 30mg of zinc every day, you are taking quite a lot already + your zinc intake from food.. just to keep that in mind, but so happy to see you getting your haur back!
I have Alopecia for 8 years. Im female and had beautiful long hair. I’ve just come across Batana Oil which I’ve just started. I really feel for guys as most people think it’s natural for males to go bald. I know what I went through as a women so guys I’m with here…
I can't use any oil product and I do not want to use chemicals. For strengthening and less hair fall I can highly recommend black castor oil shampoo, I also make my own rosemary/clove spray. I use a microneedle, every two weeks at 0.3mm. No direct heat on the scalp. #2 supplement on the market. It takes time but it's working.
its still harder for a woman imo. its kinda normal for guys to shave their hair even when not balding but for womans its not, ppl think your on chemo or something.
Thank you for an informative and honest video. I will try to do what you did, and also share this video with my brother. Nice work mate. Cheers from the Philippines! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I started about 3 months ago with hair care... noticed a few years ago my hair is thinner than it used to be, but no receding hairline. I buzzed my hair to start using keeps finasteride minoxidil gel. I also microneedle with 1mm once a week. Ive already noticed my hair feels a bit fuller, might be a placebo but i plan on doing coconut oil treatments to see if my hair is just dry as well. Might try saw palmetto and biotin supplements though. Also started using nicotine a few years ago, so ill quit since ive heard it can lower blood flow to the scalp and make things worse. Good luck to you guys!

Hi thank you for reaching out! I never tried it on my beard or anywhere else other than the top of my head, I'm glad you've have great results from it though! Thank you for sharing your experience to anyone who would wonder if it works with beards 😁 🙏
@@sebastiaanx7867 If you stop using Minoxidil for your male pattern baldness, your hair will regress. If you do it for beard growth, supposedly it stays, but I am experimenting with what happens currently.
@@hrishikeshjadhav7010 I did not lose any hair, there are shedding phases where things will look sparse on the beard but then it comes back thicker. My beard journey so far is 2 years and it took about 1 year to really see significant results
amazing and real video. I would like to mention that the W/V means that the 5% is mass concentration and has nothing to do with repellent. Definitely going to try it out.
I did and all I felt was how I'm destroying hair strands in the place I least want it. So I switched to microneedling the actual forehead area just below it, hoping that at least when one area gets better bloow flow so should the ones right next to it. Microneedling really isn't for anyone with anything more than a buzzcut. My best solution for this was to simply not cut my hair as short in the baldening section when trimming as otherwise the rest of the hair just grows much longer and you get much worse look. Baldening spots need some length in order to look like there is any volume. Also for men, trimming the sides as much as possible helps with making ANY hair look abundant when the rest of your head is basically shaved. So leaving the balding part with the longest hair and the thickest growing as the shortest so it does not contrast with depth. Anyway, that's my two cents on how I deal with it. Massaging the scalp, zinc, biotin, and citrulline so far are my picks, will try minoxidil next.
Hi thank you for reaching out! That may be something I could look into in the future potentially, thank you for sharing your input and information it is much appreciated! 😁🙏
@@connorkenway09 Saw palmetto is a great shout as well when it comes to side-effect free, natural, DHT alternative for a more invasive Finasteride. Great tips, thank you for sharing and enjoy your results!
Congrats dude! I had a gorgeously lush mane for 3 decades and started noticing my wavy hairs all over the place...on the pillow etc. It was getting hella depressing. I just shaved mine all off, and give my self a buzz cut once a week. Best decision I made. If that makes me less attractive to women, great, I'm weeding out the shallow and superficial people out anyway. Also the practicality of not having to worry about trivial stuff like a bit of fluff on the top of my head gives more time and energy to focus on more important stuff.
Great video, I have been experiencing rapid hair loss in a week or 2, but it’s just a few inches on one side so it’s not that bad so I hope I can stop it before it becomes bad, thanks a lot for the information
Thanks for sharing this. Wasnt planning on doing anything on my hairline slightly receding (38 yrs old, about time I guess) but I just ordered these to try it out. Maybe see you in 1 year!
Thank you very much Tom for sharing this! I am facing a similar problem and receding pattern. Will try your method! Much love and appreciation and greetings from Ukraine!
Hi thank you for reaching out all way from Ukraine! I'm glad you found it informative and useful, keep striving and achieving my friend I wish you all the best! Keep me up to date 😁🙏
I can attest to the effectiveness of Minoxidil. My Docter suggested it to me instead of Finasteride, since one of the side effects of Finasteride is Erectile Disfunction. Not only that, but the ED can also remain months after you stop using Finasteride.
if you are so scared of a tiny possibility of temporary side effects i hope you also stay away from sugar, alcohol, tobacco, weed, vaping as they can all cause depression, ED, heart disease and infertility or any over the counter the medication as they also have some scary side effects.
@@deathntaco Only wanted to mention the possible side effects my doctor told me. Just like with the things you mentioned, everyone has to decide for themselves if the effect they get is worth the cost. For me personally it is not worth it in this case, especially since Minoxidil already works for me without any negative effects.
This is really some amazing stuff, thank you so much for sharing. These days, I've noticed how even if you are not genetically predispositioned to lose hair, stress and bad life habits can also be huge hair-loss factors (especially living in a competitive one). Therefore, I would probably add natural remedies as well, such as cutting out junk food and alcohol, frequent head massages, getting enough sleep (7 hours), regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, cold showers to lower body heat, etc., can all help with healthy hair growth. As with anything related to our health, battling hairloss also requires a holistic and long-term approach with constant maintenance. Even if somebody should opt for more drastic and artificial measures, such as hair transplants or medicinal treatment, lifestyle habits should always be adjusted for maximum effect.
I'm from the UK and we have minoxidil you can buy on line, I always thought its available in shops too. I take oral minoxidil and that saves a lot of time compared to topical. Your progress is amazing to be honest
Hi thank you for reaching out! Okay that's good to hear you can purchase in the UK online as I wasn't 100% sure on that, thank you for your kind words 😁🙏
I hear oral minoxidil is way more effective than topical ,is that true in your experience? also wondering do you take oral finasteride also ? I think that combo oral finasteride and oral minoxidil would be a awesome combo , thoughts ? How’s oral minoxidil Been working for you?
@billgentile2450 hi thank you for reaching out! I only use Minoxidil topical solution I haven't needed to use it orally or the use of Finasteride. Some may need to use both Minoxidil and Finasteride but I can't comment on whether or not oral Minoxidil is any good as I haven't needed to, hope this helps! 😁🙏
Great job. *Use Derma Roller 2/3 times a week and rosemary oil on your scalp or onion juice for major results.* I hope you will recover all your hair. Best wishes.
I really hope this video is legit, im 17 and my hairline has just started to in the corners and im losing hair density. My hair has gotten so thin in the last few months. I’ve just bought all the products you listed and hope what you’ve said is true 😢
Thanks-two questions! 1. Isn't DHT useful for other processes? Would blocking it internally be therefore potentially bad? 2. If you stop this regiment, does the hair go away again quickly? Thanks!
1. Every hormon in your body has a fonction, otherwise it wouldnt exist. DHT is a very "usable" form of testosterone, because the receptors for testosterone are extremely sensible to DHT. Look at the sides effect of finasteride, and you will understand what DHT is useful for.. Playing with your body chemistry is always a serious thing. 2. It is a lifetime decision, if you stop the treatment, your hair will start to fall massively after a certain time. I am 23 and balding quite a lot, and I think I won't take any medication to stop that, at least no finasteride.
@@emesic926 No, not a lifetime decision. It's a decision some make only for a decade or two and then quit once they are settled down married or having children. It's the guys in their prime 20s, and 30s and 40s who absolutely do not want to lose their looks at such a critical point in their lives and careers. There are now studies of men who have been on Fin for 20 and 25 years. Nothing bad happened to them provided the side effects were not enough to make them stop. But glad you are fine with going completely bald. That is for your lifetime guy.
Hi thank you for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear that you've had no luck with anything you have used. Don't give up though! My advice is to reach out to the following brands; Hims Keeps DS Labratories These are all specialists in the filed of hair loss and are My favourite brands that I use personally, reach out to them and they will be able to advise you further and will be able to help you I believe, hope this helps! 😁🙏
thanks for sharing your methods, and will take a couple of learning from your video and apply to my routine. however surprisingly you havent mentioned about scalp massage to increase blood circulation . im using an electric scalp massager and thinking of getting a derma roller to use before applying minoxidil. what are your thoughts.? cheers
My mother had hair loss (egg in basket?) and fatigue and it turned out to be hypothyroid. With thyroid supplements she regained her energy and then the hair took 4 months to grow back. It was scary because it doesnt always grow back. The doctor ruled out rogaine for her 70s age group. So it does have some risks
Hi thank you for reaching out! Thank you for your kind words, amazing to hear you'll start your hair regain journey soon. Keep me up to date with everything would love to hear about your progress my friend! 💪 🙏
I have been using Regaine about 3 yrs now and I can honestly say I've had no regrowth from what I can see. But I don't think I'm losing any. I take photos regularly to see any difference.
Hey Tom, I wanted to clarify with you, did you use the rogain on your hairline? They advise only to use for the scalp. Could you let us know please? or if anyone knows would love to hear a reply!
Hi thank you for reaching out! I started with the Hims brand of Minoxidil, I purchase now from Amazon for a 6 months supply as that's most cost effective. I do mention in the video that the product does strictly say may not work for receding hair and is only for top of head. However I decided to try it anyway and has worked for me. Try these brands; Hims, Keeps and DS Labratories. Hope this helps! 😁🙏
minoxidil is not a DHT blocker. It can stimulate new hair growth by encouraging the blood vessel in the scalp to deliver nutrients to the affected follicles. However, it does not prevent DHT from reaching the follicles
@@iamchaunceman I don't know, I read it somewhere once, I think it's because it has the same purpose as finasteride hence the side effect is also the same. This is why I still wouldn't use either of both. I only use minoxidil and topical finmix (finasteride + minoxidil)
This dude legit got one of best beards I've ever seen, but I love this, I've lost my hair, this gives me hope that I can get it back.
This is UA-cam at its best: real people, not paid influencers, talking concisely about what worked for them. Thank you. The first thing I noticed in your before & after photos was how much darker your hair got. Was there anything going on to account for that, like the before pics being taking after spending a lot of time in the sun? Or, is it just a byproduct of the hair re-growth?
Hi thank you for reaching out!
Your kind words are greatly appreciated, I agree UA-cam at its best is through real people, real results, not paid influencers. Just information that can help others, yes brands can be of use but legit brands that the influencers actually use that help. I'm glad you ask! I have had other comments about the colour difference in my hair, so my hair in the previous picture was really unhealthy whereas the new picture is it back to health. I think the new shampoos and conditioners may have contributed to the colour difference however the actual quality of my hair is so much better to the look and touch. Hope this helps! 😁🙏
@@tomlancepeat Are you washing your hair with cold water ?
@midnightblue3285 hi thank you for reaching out! I often rinse off in cold water after a shower 😁🙏

Just eat raw primal diet and wash with raw eggs milk honey just put fucking food
I started using minoxidil in my early 20s, after 4 years or so I started to lose ground again. Important to mention that I am NOT on fin due to harsh side effects. I heard that dermarolling could help so I gave it a chance for about 7 months, unfortunately, It did not help. I was about to quit until I discovered a Pen, I started microneedling with a high quality Pen and the results started to kick in. I believe Blood circulation play a huge factor in MPB, that's how Min works wonders, I guess your body gets used to it and then you lose ground again after X years but since I added the Pen, I got tons of regrowth after few months, scalp tension and itchiness has gone almost instantly. Don't give up guys, trust the process and be patience. One more thing, you mentioned Supplements, I truly believe that supplements can't do much if anything unless the person has high deficiency.
which pen brand are you using? thanks for this comment by the way
KorabeauticaIs, theirs needles are currently the thinnest in the market as far as I know
what depth are you using for the scalp?
1.5mm every 7-10 days. I never missed a treatment since the day I started
Agreed. There is a huge difference between roller and a Pen
you are the only video ive watched that is so honest and straight forward with this information. ill be starting my journey to regrow my hairline in a couple of days.

Made it to 33 years old and only just started noticing a little bit of hair loss, this video just helps me feel less stressed about it knowing theres ways to help
Same mate lol nobody with thin hair in my family and my thick curly hair has started to fall out in the front area. Literally never thought I could lose my hair and this is one of those comfort videos for me.
Me at 19 looking at ways to hopefully pull my hairline a little forward 😭
Your results are insane. You've given many people hope 🙏
I am honestly very glad that more people, men and women, are being more bold to bring awareness to solve the darned problem that is baldness.
baldness is not a problem, its a perfectly natural occurence that most men deal with. If you want your hair fine but theres nothing wrong with being bald.
its a disease, mate@@WookieWarriorz
@@WookieWarriorzcmon like it ain't life threatening but MOST people would like to choose their hair

THANK YOU SO MUCH. My hairline looks incredible. I was scared that it wouldn’t work for me being an African American, but my hairline looks just as good as it did 10 years ago. I used the recommended biotin, Keeps Shampoo & conditioner, and used the minoxidil. It’s been about 6 months. THIS GUY IS THE TRUTH!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Why did you think this wouldnt work for an african american?
So takes about 6 months. Cool
@@DylanJo123cause african american hair is way different than white ppl hair, but at the end of the day hair is hair 🤷
Have you tried the drops? I’m currently on my second month of rogaine. ( half bottle in. ) my main issue is my hairline. More of the right side to be exact. I see everyone talking about HIMS but I’ve seen some reviews say it’s for bald cap not for hairline.
@@None-93 I use the drops in the video. I haven’t been as consistent with it as I should, but I had issues with the right side too. It was like a widows peak on 1 side. It’s almost completely even now. I used the Keeps combo for hair wash, but I just orders Hims products to see if I can see different results. I can see new little hairs on my hairline coming in, so I’m going to see how far I can go with this.
Thank you for your honest opinions & that your not a paid reviewer.
I lost my hair at 25 ...30 years ago, mates started calling me Bruce Willis....so i just shaved the lot off and never looked back ...my son is now 25 and going through the same thing....Breaks my heart to see how much its bothering him....back in my day we just shaved it off......you got a bit of stick for a few weeks then everyone gets used to it......well played to you for posting this and I hope it helps a few guys who are struggling....
Since he is just beginning to lose it, it’s completely reversible and you can save him, a year of prp and dutasteride and minoxidil (or bimatoprost) will reverse it
Well man 30 years ago the dating market wasnt so damn harsh. Shits already hard if youre an average dude. Now add balding and you most likely will not get a girlfriend if youre already struggling.
Hey man, not sure if you’re still reading your comments but I wanted to say thank you. I stumbled across your video 7 months ago and it motivated me to take action vs. whining to myself and my wife about my hair loss. After 6 months topical fin/min my results are amazing… feels better than I could have imagined. “you have to do it everyday, treat it like brushing your teeth”.. appreciated that part. Thank you!!! Great video
I'm glad to hear it! It's great you're in a better place now and you should be proud of your progress. You're welcome and wishing all the best. You took the action, well done!
I'm personally dealing with a receding hairline and I too, am looking for the natural stuff to try and stimulate the growth. This was very helpful. Thank You for sharing!
Hi thank you for reaching out!
I'm happy to hear you found it informative and useful! 😁🙏
do you trust the topical minoxidil? I'm also looking for a natural route
@@spike8683You cant just use ninoxidil, cause you will still go bald cause youre not focusing in the the cause for baldness. You gotta block DHT. Personally I use finasteride in a minoxidil solution and I apply it topically. I use a 0,01% 1ml a day finasteride solution. So the exposure is 0,1mg of fin a day.
But minoxidil isn’t natural though
@spike8683 Peppermint oil and saw palmetto oil mixed together buy a dropper bottle mix them together and massage this into your hair every night after a head massage and in 6 months you should see improvement
About the w/v. It means weight per volume, which is grams per 100 ml. Therefore it means that 5% w/v is 5 grams of minoxidil per 100 ml solution.
Quite good video. Few things worth mentioning: 1. Minoxidil - you need to use 1ml just ONCE a day. It stays in skin for 21-22 hours so 2nd dose is a waste. Its advertise to use twice a day to increase the amount u buy. 2. He didnt mention Vit D3 - very important. 3. It is important the way u use those shampoos. Some you need to hold on head for 4-6min. If u just wash it off straigh away they wont work.
I was using it twice a day a week ago, felt like way too much, thanks for the tip.
The dosages are based on the studies that did the research originally. Those studies used fin once daily and min twice daily but some people may respond well at a lower dose.
Or, you could do .5ml two times a day if you want. It's a bit of a hassle but it does seem to work better.
Done this for about 3 years when I started seeing hints of thinning at the back of my head. Full head of thick hair after around 90 days. Nowadays I do finasteride every other day just because I am just maintaining.
Also worth noting is that most schampoos have demiticone/silicone in them (thats what makes them very thick and paste-like, ex. Head&Shoulders) which will coat your head with a layer of whatever afterwards. Doing this schampoo and then trying to apply Minioxidil will make it harder for the Minioxidil to get through and take effect. Also, when in the shower and using your schampoo, do a bit of a massage session while you're at it, it helps stimulate the hair follicles.
Right on! Finasteride is the best out there. Been on it for 4 months and the stuff really works. Maintenance dosages can even go to .5mg every other day.
@@fatalradiustopical finasteride right?
@@fatalradiusmy hair line receding and my hair very thin
Please tell me topical finasteride helps for my hair thickness and growing back?
Heard it causes weak erection is it true
Low chance. And if it does, just lower dose or quit it
There's loads of DHT inhibitors going through various research trials in the US and China at the moment. The way I see it is in 5 or 6 years there's surely going to be lots of great stuff on the market to essentially cure hairloss, so it's about keeping your hair until that point.
Hi thank you for reaching out!
That's amazing to know and hear, I agree, I think in the next 5 years we will see tremendous progression with potentially curing hairloss. 😁🙏
Yep. Gonna tank your hormones and increase male suicide. Watch
Its not a cure when you blocking dht. Its a treatment. You will have to take it constantly.
Yeah! Especially Pyrilutamide which can be expected next year and GT20029 which is the most promising one , GT is the most effective one so far and is used once or twice per week!
The algorithm worked well. I trust a person like you who is simply sharing their experience more than a brand. I think I have a very similar type of hair as you so I will have a look at the minoxidil. So, thank you for sharing, documenting your journey, providing advice, expectations, tip and tricks.
My hair used to be thick, but I have started to get a receding hairline as of late. Not quite to your before pictures but I am well on my way there. Thank you for the info, ordering all this asap.
Great video mate👍
I wish I came across this kind of thing in my early 20s, I would have been proper on it! it’s probably way too late for me now, as I’m now a Norwood 7, plus I’m mid 40s, but back then, I got real down about my hair loss. It’s actually quite refreshing to see a genuine, normal guy trying to help others, thanks for taking the time😀

@@jesterwaterwizard2917 My hair was thinned out for 20 years. I shaved my head daily. Minoxidil is the best way to grown your hair back. I recommend if you can seeing a dermatologist. They can also prescribe you finasteride to take with it. I actually use Foam Monoxidil but after seeing this video I think I will switch back to the liquid drops as it seems more concentrated. Monoxidil and finasteride work great in tandem and will help you grow your hair back faster. Understand though it could take from 6 months to a year before you really start seeing results? Most people will see it after 6 months. I didn't really see it till after a year! So don't lose hope! Keep at it daily and never let up. You'll be glad to have a full head of hair again!
No you don't I'm 29 and got ED from minoxidil
20**
I always had a naturally high hairline and it started to recede further. Like you, that didn't bother me, I always disliked my hairline anyway and I started shaving my head for around two years. Then got bored sh*tless from doing it and decided to hop on treatment. Starting to see more results, slowly but surely. Starting to see tiny baby hairs on my forehead and bigger regrowth on temporal recession. On the big three for 7 months.
What treatment do you do?
What are the big 3? I didn't really care about this, but it would be interesting to try.
Also my biggest worry, any side effects?
I only took minoxidil when I started to see recession and now I got ED from it lol
@@TomClackeryou don’t get ED from minoxidil…

I’m 20, I started losing hair about a year ago, but I didn’t do anything about it until last month. Right now I’m taking Minoxidil every day twice and I use a Derma roller 1.5mm every 2 weeks. I also plan on taking biotin and rosemary oil. Shampoo wise, I got myself the hims shampoo and conditioner to see if it works. Wish me luck 🙏 if anyone has suggestions please let me know!
I use the 0.25mm roller and haven't used it enough to see anything but have you seen any results with the 1.5? I got a microneedler for 100 dollars and have yet to use it but hear it's the best thing to try.
@@jackx5750 I’m only about a month in and I used it about 3 times. I did feel the those open needled spots once I applied it, but I can’t say that I have seen significant change yet only slight. Most significant change is after 2 to 3 months of consistent use. Another side effect of using minoxidil is having more hair loss in the first 8 weeks and I can definitely attest to that. I had my hand full of hair when I showered.
Ive looked for over 10 years for so.ething to work and honestly the only thing that worked was ....10% minoxidil using a 1mm derma roller LIGHTLY every night 4 nights a week, and on the 5th night push firmly with the 1 mm derma roller and leave 2 days to heal before starting the routine again .
I originally thought every night would be too much but I've learned that done properly this far better than just using a roller every week or month.
You are wasting your time if you don't take Propecia. Tom is probably a fake hair natty and takes it as well 😂.
@@GimmieTheLoot I agree propecia is a miracle drug

@@DanishKhan-rc5vi Do you have a receding hairline? If you don't but hair is overall thinning wait 6 months, that's how long it takes for hair to grow back after telogen effluvium. If it doesn't grow back then you're probably diffuse thinning and balding and should use minoxidil.
You have to use any hair loss treatment for life including things like finasteride and minoxidil. Don't let that scare you.
@@EE-jn8ku thanks allot for the info
But once I got my hair back and I stop the usage of minoxidil will that Hair will be gone
I learned this while taking care of my beard, but something many, i would argue almost everyone sleeps on is combs.
Many round style combs with the pin style teeth work well on a budget, but i would seriously seriously encourage picking up one or more, try and see how they style for you, good quality combs (or picks) like Chicago Combs, the Carbon Fiber ones, and or Kent Combs. This is regardless of balding state or otherwise.
Vast majority of people are all using combs that can either and often both destroy ones hair, or irritate our skin, neither which you want. Most straight combs essentially have microscopic straight edge blades in them from the printing process.
Especially recommend Chicago Combs, any type that works, because the tips of the teeth are so smooth its very hard to ever irritate your skin with them.
All these are more expensive, but not extreme in range of 10-20$, but they also in both cases are products that last years so very worth it.

I appreciate this guys efforts but he’s actually misinforming on a lot of points. Biotin does not block DHT. Minoxidil does not block DHT. DHT isn’t even the main culprit of hair loss. And keeps is a ripoff. There is a much better versed guy with much better results. Look up hair regrowth with Alex, he will give much more detailed and accurate information.

Love this video, been in the hair regrowth space for a while and this was so genuine, also +1 for the brit accent.
I've done all the stuff you present here in this video and to be blatantly honest, none of it really made a noticeable difference in the long run, however after I gave up on all the products/supplements and just started eating clean (no fast food, no seed oils, unprocessed, preferably organic) , reduced alcohol consumption, and switched to natural/clean shampoo & conditioners, my hairline has magically improved significantly on its own. I literally have a better hairline now in my 40s than my entire 30s. I'm of the belief that it's exposure to environmental toxins (which are present in practically every cheap/garbage consumer product!) more than any DHT-related stuff, that was causing the majority of my hair loss.
Yeah I feel like diet is a huge huge factor in it
This was the comment I was looking for. I believe its my case as well. Unhealthy food, too much carbs.
Thanks fellas I herd also get some more sunlight on it also we all need that ....I can't lie I stay inside to much watching UA-cam videos need to get out more I little everyday I'm 44 and have noticed it's thinning pretty bad right their ...I also were a hat all the time lately so...stay healthy good luck with your hair growth
which brands do you suggest for ' natural/clean shampoo & conditioners'?
I agree seed oils, food dyes, preservatives and all the other chemicals in our food are slowly killing us in the US. Europe is lucky and have much better quality food.

@@tomlancepeatDear Tom, thank you very much for your very wonderful informative video. What is the current status of her hair? I am from the Netherlands and cannot buy Kirkland 5% Minoxidil via Amazon. It will not be shipped to my country. I don't get a doctor's prescription either. Do you know a solution? Greetings Kees
Thank you for your video. As you mentioned, using chemicals like minoxidil is a temporary fix. If a person stops using them, hair falls out again. This time around, though, all the hair falls out that would've been gone while the chemicals were used; this means, the person has less hair than when the chemical treatment began.
After searching on UA-cam, I discovered videos that praised the benefits of onion juice. I applied onion juice three times weekly and my barber noticed a difference without me asking. The process might be a little slower than synthetic chemicals, but the results last longer. Not only that, but my grey hair regained color. Later, I saw videos about using rosemary oil, which works, also. The key is to not just apply them and walk away, but to message it into your scalp to bring circulation back AND fight DHT.
I put the natural substances in a bowl and use a rubber scalp massaging brush to massage it into my scalp for about an hour while watching television, UA-cam, whatever. The key is to maintain fresh applications while stimulating circulation; bring blood back to the scalp.
It may seem like work, but it's really simple, brings color back to your greys, regrows hair in the bald spots and doesn't fall out once you stop treatment.
So you go round smelling like an onion 😂 err no thanks
this sounds more like something Im gonna try. Not keen on the chemical solutions
W/V stands for weight over volume. Its the ratio of the weight (mass) of the solute (minoxidil in this case) to the volume of the liquid (the other ingredients).
Finally someone normal from the UK.
great results and really good that you kept it as natural as possible.
I don’t think you mentioned if you got any side effects, such as low libido/ ED/ watery seaman. Would be good to know.

I'd try applying other topicals first. You could mix yourself up some using a mortar and pestle using a dropper bottle, a bit of vodka, water, niacinamide, caffeine (pro plus) and zinc oxide, copper oxide. zinc and copper ions reduce DHT in the skin whilst caffeine stimulates like minoxidil.
Hi thank you for reaching out!
Thank you for your kind words 😁
I haven't experienced any negative side effects, no low libido (including no watery seamen lol!) Only small things like a little dry skin on area where applying topical Minoxidil but I wash away any excess so it's no big deal. Hope this helps! 😁🙏
Thanks, one of the best videos on growing hair back!
This is very valuable, my hairline looks exactly like yours did... It's something that's been getting to me as time goes on, I'm definitely going ro implement this 👍🏻
update?
Update plsss
The Best Result I've seen By Far !!!
*Excellent Sir!!*
Fair play Tom. Thanks for being straight up about it man.
Good video of taking the "fast result" dreamers and giving a talk of "time and consistency" that will make the difference. Personally I'm probably to far gone, this Is a good introduction of where to start looking when I'll give it a try to get some back.
Great presentation, thank you for sharing your journey and results. I’ve seen some research that says DHT is a symptom of something else, not the main cause, hopefully we get closer to finding an actual cause soon 🙏🏽
Scalp tension it's another factor that can block the blood circulation to the hair.
Dht is caused from an enzyme that converts testoerone. You inhibit it by I taking zinc, omega 3 and b2. My guess is the lack of inhibitor production is because of too much omega 6. This comes from the diet we eat with seed oils and fried foods, etc. requires a diet change basically
@@nicolausthothmes2325 i noticed my hair was thicker in my early 20s when i ate a lot a good diet of clean whole food and salad and a lot of Tuna Fish sandwiches with omega 3 in them and vitamin supplements and stuff like niacin (to grow taller) and just taking a whole vitamin in general ... im 31 and i have a widows peak and trying to grow back my hairline naturally ... i think i should try a derma stamp or roller seeing as ive never used one ... along with natural oils like castor and coco oil etc first before i try midoxidil or finasteride ...
I went on Minoxidil & Finasteride many years ago & it worked. My hairloss was much more severe so it didnt regrow it as well, but it was a still a night and day difference. I got tired of taking them though and stopped ~4 years ago. Of course all that hair I regrew is now gone and even more now. I'm thinking of going back on them. Especially because I'm older now and finasteride helps with prostate issues which most men my age have.
Rosemary oil has a similar effect as Minoxidil. Nizoral 2% blocks DHT in the scalp. Multivitamin, protein, sleep. High and frequent carb and sugar diets spike blood sugar insulin and DHT.
Best video I came across with honest information.
I started topical finasteride/minoxidil 18 months ago. I am over 50 and my hair has improved to a level that it was at age 25. The trick is to get on before its too late. The more hair you have the better it works. I look at the before and after pics and I can’t believe the difference. My results are on par with a 1200-1500 graft hair transplant. Zero side effects with the topical. 😎
Do you only use minoxidil?
And minoxodil says not to use after 1 year of use. So you have?
@@mattyk112who told you that wrong information?You can use minoxidil as long as needed smh
Thank you for taking the time to create and share this informative content. My good friend used Norlest's natural hair recipes, and his hair started growing back normally without falling out. I was shocked.
Glad it was helpful! Great to hear!
Your transformation is INSANE, and so very inspiring! I feel a bit like a fraud coming here and commenting, because I'm not even sure if I'm losing hair - I've never had my hair as long as it is (pfp for reference) but I keep noticing how much hair comes out in my brush, or even the amount of times I find long hairs in my clothes throughout the day. It could be the simple fact that I'm not used to losing hair this length, but I really don't want to take that chance. It also doesn't help that I've always had a pretty big forehead all my life 😂
In any case, your video has been really informative! You've inspired me to start taking better care and keeping a closer eye on the situation. Even if it's just a simple case of paranoia, I keep getting ads for Keeps and Hims, and whenever I tie my hair back it kinda freaks me out to see how big my forehead is looking these days! Since I'm not sure yet, I don't know that measures as drastic as minoxidil and finasteride are in order, but I'll keep it at the top of my mind (as I have for the past few months...). Would it be worth seeing a dermatologist or even my primary doctor about my concerns? I'm not really sure what can be done in that regard, but I'd really love to know all my options.
Thanks again for making this incredibly important video - most people just seem to shrug off male baldness or even find it a bit a joke. Glad to see some support and unbiased information out there! :)
I’m the same man
personally I wish i had gotten ahead of it. its good (in my opinion) to get it checked out early rather than later. theres also denial for some people, which i think i was one of them for a long time. im glad im not anymore but goddamn id like to keep my hair
@@Klay_Dubya you make a really really good point…think it’s time I made an appointment. Better to waste an unneeded doctor visit than constantly agonize over whether or not I might be losing hair 😅😅😅
have a look into a ketoconazol shampoo such as nizoral mate it’s a great shampoo (designed for treating dry scalp) which also blocks dht. it’s cheap and really helps reduce shedding
@@fleecebookshelf that’s awesome, thank you so much! Gonna check it out right now
Impressive progress! I like that you took your photos using the same location, same shirt and same angle.
I can't use minoxidil sadly because of my scalp psoriasis but I think biotin should definitely work for me. Anyone with the same issue please stay away from minoxidil it will make your psoriasis worse!
Have u tried the foam? Also you can get the liquid without alcohol- this is what i use and i have flare ups of seb derm which I treat with a few drops of tea tree oil in a shampoo without malasezia feeding oils
I can read your authenticity and honest research, Thank you...
This is a great video, kudos! I follow basically the same hair loss regime but added micro needling. I would highly recommend adding micro needling if you’d like to speed up the hair growth process. Good luck gents!
How is the progress? I want to start
I am not sure if anyone else mentioned that, but since you said you take 30mg of zinc every day, you are taking quite a lot already + your zinc intake from food.. just to keep that in mind, but so happy to see you getting your haur back!
I have Alopecia for 8 years. Im female and had beautiful long hair. I’ve just come across Batana Oil which I’ve just started. I really feel for guys as most people think it’s natural for males to go bald. I know what I went through as a women so guys I’m with here…
I can't use any oil product and I do not want to use chemicals. For strengthening and less hair fall I can highly recommend black castor oil shampoo, I also make my own rosemary/clove spray. I use a microneedle, every two weeks at 0.3mm. No direct heat on the scalp. #2 supplement on the market. It takes time but it's working.
its still harder for a woman imo. its kinda normal for guys to shave their hair even when not balding but for womans its not, ppl think your on chemo or something.
@Quizzy0000 not really. I'm currently rocking a #2 buzz cut. I actually get compliments. Hair is overrated.
@@Mint-kj9kw Lots of girls actually look good with a buzzed head
@@Mint-kj9kwlol excuses
Thank you for an informative and honest video. I will try to do what you did, and also share this video with my brother. Nice work mate. Cheers from the Philippines! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Hi thank you for reaching out!
I wish you all the best with your hair growth journey! Keep striving and achieving 😁🙏
I started about 3 months ago with hair care... noticed a few years ago my hair is thinner than it used to be, but no receding hairline. I buzzed my hair to start using keeps finasteride minoxidil gel. I also microneedle with 1mm once a week. Ive already noticed my hair feels a bit fuller, might be a placebo but i plan on doing coconut oil treatments to see if my hair is just dry as well. Might try saw palmetto and biotin supplements though. Also started using nicotine a few years ago, so ill quit since ive heard it can lower blood flow to the scalp and make things worse. Good luck to you guys!
Hi thank you for reaching out!
Amazing to hear about your progress, thank you for sharing your input and your experience, keep striving and achieving my friend! I wish you all the best with your hair growth progress 😁🙏
I have long hair like 7 years no hair cut. Could I still do all this with long hair.
It may be worth trying rosemary oil or water after microneedling too.
biotin and saw palmetto doesnt work... I tried.
Solid beard brother! ما شاء الله
Minoxidil definitely works. I used it to grow a beard and darken my eyebrows, just gotta stay consistent.
Hi thank you for reaching out!
I never tried it on my beard or anywhere else other than the top of my head, I'm glad you've have great results from it though! Thank you for sharing your experience to anyone who would wonder if it works with beards 😁 🙏
what happens if you stop?
@@sebastiaanx7867 If you stop using Minoxidil for your male pattern baldness, your hair will regress. If you do it for beard growth, supposedly it stays, but I am experimenting with what happens currently.
After how much time did you saw results? Did you lose some hair at start of taking minoxidil?
@@hrishikeshjadhav7010 I did not lose any hair, there are shedding phases where things will look sparse on the beard but then it comes back thicker. My beard journey so far is 2 years and it took about 1 year to really see significant results
amazing and real video. I would like to mention that the W/V means that the 5% is mass concentration and has nothing to do with repellent. Definitely going to try it out.
You should DEFINITELY add microneedling once a week. The studies on it are INSANE! Congats on your resalts.
I did and all I felt was how I'm destroying hair strands in the place I least want it. So I switched to microneedling the actual forehead area just below it, hoping that at least when one area gets better bloow flow so should the ones right next to it. Microneedling really isn't for anyone with anything more than a buzzcut. My best solution for this was to simply not cut my hair as short in the baldening section when trimming as otherwise the rest of the hair just grows much longer and you get much worse look. Baldening spots need some length in order to look like there is any volume. Also for men, trimming the sides as much as possible helps with making ANY hair look abundant when the rest of your head is basically shaved. So leaving the balding part with the longest hair and the thickest growing as the shortest so it does not contrast with depth. Anyway, that's my two cents on how I deal with it. Massaging the scalp, zinc, biotin, and citrulline so far are my picks, will try minoxidil next.
Hi thank you for reaching out!
That may be something I could look into in the future potentially, thank you for sharing your input and information it is much appreciated! 😁🙏
@@connorkenway09 Saw palmetto is a great shout as well when it comes to side-effect free, natural, DHT alternative for a more invasive Finasteride. Great tips, thank you for sharing and enjoy your results!
There are studies saying that it causes scar tissue on the scalp over time, which could damage follicles.
@@fatalradiussource please?
Well put Tom, excellent exposition, thank you.
Congrats dude!
I had a gorgeously lush mane for 3 decades and started noticing my wavy hairs all over the place...on the pillow etc. It was getting hella depressing. I just shaved mine all off, and give my self a buzz cut once a week. Best decision I made. If that makes me less attractive to women, great, I'm weeding out the shallow and superficial people out anyway. Also the practicality of not having to worry about trivial stuff like a bit of fluff on the top of my head gives more time and energy to focus on more important stuff.
Great video, I have been experiencing rapid hair loss in a week or 2, but it’s just a few inches on one side so it’s not that bad so I hope I can stop it before it becomes bad, thanks a lot for the information
Sorry for the confusion, you say you’re NOT taking finesteride correct?
Hi thank you for reaching out!
That is correct, I am NOT taking Finasteride 😁🙏
Thanks for sharing this. Wasnt planning on doing anything on my hairline slightly receding (38 yrs old, about time I guess) but I just ordered these to try it out. Maybe see you in 1 year!
What about the result ?
Thank you very much Tom for sharing this! I am facing a similar problem and receding pattern. Will try your method! Much love and appreciation and greetings from Ukraine!
Hi thank you for reaching out all way from Ukraine!
I'm glad you found it informative and useful, keep striving and achieving my friend I wish you all the best! Keep me up to date 😁🙏
I can attest to the effectiveness of Minoxidil. My Docter suggested it to me instead of Finasteride, since one of the side effects of Finasteride is Erectile Disfunction. Not only that, but the ED can also remain months after you stop using Finasteride.
if you are so scared of a tiny possibility of temporary side effects i hope you also stay away from sugar, alcohol, tobacco, weed, vaping as they can all cause depression, ED, heart disease and infertility or any over the counter the medication as they also have some scary side effects.
@@deathntaco Only wanted to mention the possible side effects my doctor told me. Just like with the things you mentioned, everyone has to decide for themselves if the effect they get is worth the cost. For me personally it is not worth it in this case, especially since Minoxidil already works for me without any negative effects.
This is really some amazing stuff, thank you so much for sharing. These days, I've noticed how even if you are not genetically predispositioned to lose hair, stress and bad life habits can also be huge hair-loss factors (especially living in a competitive one). Therefore, I would probably add natural remedies as well, such as cutting out junk food and alcohol, frequent head massages, getting enough sleep (7 hours), regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, cold showers to lower body heat, etc., can all help with healthy hair growth. As with anything related to our health, battling hairloss also requires a holistic and long-term approach with constant maintenance. Even if somebody should opt for more drastic and artificial measures, such as hair transplants or medicinal treatment, lifestyle habits should always be adjusted for maximum effect.
This video was so informative. Thank you. I’m passing it on to my husband and son.
Hi thank you for reaching out!
I'm happy to hear you found it informative and useful! 😁🙏
I'm from the UK and we have minoxidil you can buy on line, I always thought its available in shops too. I take oral minoxidil and that saves a lot of time compared to topical. Your progress is amazing to be honest
Hi thank you for reaching out!
Okay that's good to hear you can purchase in the UK online as I wasn't 100% sure on that, thank you for your kind words 😁🙏
I hear oral minoxidil is way more effective than topical ,is that true in your experience? also wondering do you take oral finasteride also ? I think that combo oral finasteride and oral minoxidil would be a awesome combo , thoughts ? How’s oral minoxidil Been working for you?
@@tomlancepeatbtw you had a amazing transformation, well done and thanks for sharing
@billgentile2450 hi thank you for reaching out!
I only use Minoxidil topical solution I haven't needed to use it orally or the use of Finasteride. Some may need to use both Minoxidil and Finasteride but I can't comment on whether or not oral Minoxidil is any good as I haven't needed to, hope this helps! 😁🙏
Can you explain me what the mechanism is of oral minox? What does it really do in the body?
Awesome video man glad I came across it while looking for ways to fix my thinning hair lol
Great job.
*Use Derma Roller 2/3 times a week and rosemary oil on your scalp or onion juice for major results.*
I hope you will recover all your hair.
Best wishes.
Thanks bro, ive just started. Death to DHT. GL to all
@@chrispeters5748any updates
Does rosemary work better than Minoxidil?
I really hope this video is legit, im 17 and my hairline has just started to in the corners and im losing hair density. My hair has gotten so thin in the last few months. I’ve just bought all the products you listed and hope what you’ve said is true 😢
Thanks-two questions!
1. Isn't DHT useful for other processes? Would blocking it internally be therefore potentially bad?
2. If you stop this regiment, does the hair go away again quickly?
Thanks!
DHT is useful for a male fetus to develop. After that no use at all. This is true. Yes the treatment is for life if you want to keep your hair.
1. Every hormon in your body has a fonction, otherwise it wouldnt exist. DHT is a very "usable" form of testosterone, because the receptors for testosterone are extremely sensible to DHT. Look at the sides effect of finasteride, and you will understand what DHT is useful for.. Playing with your body chemistry is always a serious thing.
2. It is a lifetime decision, if you stop the treatment, your hair will start to fall massively after a certain time.
I am 23 and balding quite a lot, and I think I won't take any medication to stop that, at least no finasteride.
@@emesic926 No, not a lifetime decision. It's a decision some make only for a decade or two and then quit once they are settled down married or having children. It's the guys in their prime 20s, and 30s and 40s who absolutely do not want to lose their looks at such a critical point in their lives and careers.
There are now studies of men who have been on Fin for 20 and 25 years. Nothing bad happened to them provided the side effects were not enough to make them stop. But glad you are fine with going completely bald. That is for your lifetime guy.
Happy for your brother. I have no success with anything I use
Hi thank you for reaching out!
I'm sorry to hear that you've had no luck with anything you have used. Don't give up though! My advice is to reach out to the following brands;
Hims
Keeps
DS Labratories
These are all specialists in the filed of hair loss and are My favourite brands that I use personally, reach out to them and they will be able to advise you further and will be able to help you I believe, hope this helps! 😁🙏
You should also microneedle once or twice a month. Great results so far. 👏
Hi thank you for reaching out!
That sounds interesting and will look into microneedling, thank you for sharing your input 😁🙏
thanks for sharing your methods, and will take a couple of learning from your video and apply to my routine. however surprisingly you havent mentioned about scalp massage to increase blood circulation . im using an electric scalp massager and thinking of getting a derma roller to use before applying minoxidil. what are your thoughts.? cheers
Great informative video mate! Appreciate it
Hi thank you for reaching out!
I'm glad you found the video informative! Keep striving and achieving 😁🙏
My mother had hair loss (egg in basket?) and fatigue and it turned out to be hypothyroid. With thyroid supplements she regained her energy and then the hair took 4 months to grow back. It was scary because it doesnt always grow back. The doctor ruled out rogaine for her 70s age group. So it does have some risks
It's all about blood circulation. Stand on your hands or hang with your legs everyday for a while.
Subbed! Seems like an honest straight to the point overview! Starting soon
Hi thank you for reaching out!
Thank you for your kind words, amazing to hear you'll start your hair regain journey soon. Keep me up to date with everything would love to hear about your progress my friend! 💪 🙏
I have been using Regaine about 3 yrs now and I can honestly say I've had no regrowth from what I can see. But I don't think I'm losing any. I take photos regularly to see any difference.
Good video, very helpful info.
Anyone here get dry flakes around the areas of the hairline where you’re applying minoxidil drops? If so, how do you manage this?
An honest talk 🍻👏👏 well done
This is brilliant work.. You're doing great. Thanks for the tips.
Hey Tom, I wanted to clarify with you, did you use the rogain on your hairline? They advise only to use for the scalp. Could you let us know please? or if anyone knows would love to hear a reply!
Hi thank you for reaching out!
I started with the Hims brand of Minoxidil, I purchase now from Amazon for a 6 months supply as that's most cost effective. I do mention in the video that the product does strictly say may not work for receding hair and is only for top of head. However I decided to try it anyway and has worked for me. Try these brands; Hims, Keeps and DS Labratories. Hope this helps! 😁🙏
minoxidil is not a DHT blocker. It can stimulate new hair growth by encouraging the blood vessel in the scalp to deliver nutrients to the affected follicles. However, it does not prevent DHT from reaching the follicles
Isn't Saw Palmetto have the same side effect as Finasteride though?
I thought it didn’t have them, some doctor was going on about why saw palmetto is what she prescribed first because of the side effect issue with fin
@@iamchaunceman I don't know, I read it somewhere once, I think it's because it has the same purpose as finasteride hence the side effect is also the same. This is why I still wouldn't use either of both. I only use minoxidil and topical finmix (finasteride + minoxidil)
Pumpkin seed oil and Rosemary had shown to regrow hair also.
@@seanmclaughlin7415yes! I'm using rosemary oil, it really works
