    Thank you for this video. I am doing research as I am currently doing PRP.
    I did my second session yesterday and have one more next month.
    To me it’s not painful at all but that’s the only difference. I see no changes on my hair yet ( I know it’s early ) but everybody shows all their little hairs growing and thickness.. and there is nothing here. I am trying to stay positive as losing hair is already a very stressful situation.

    I’m in the same boat. With already thin hair losing a lot per day at 43. I’ve been always losing hair, but it has got to the extreme. My hair is dry and brittle, used to be wavy/curly, now barely holds its shape without products. My scalp burns most of the time. I’ve done tons of research and some things may work for some people, obviously depends on the underlying cause. My bloodwork always shows low ferritin levels despite taking iron. Some people cannot absorb iron well or also depends on the form of iron. Chelated form seems to work best. And don’t take it with calcium.
    Here is my list of findings (maybe you find something useful) of causes and some solutions:
    - underlying disease
    - hormones
    - menopause
    - stress
    - lack of blood flow at the hair roots
    - too frequent hair wash
    - too many products/chemicals
    - low acidity scalp
    - gluten/dairy intolerance
    - lack of protein in the diet
    - lack of healthy fat (like omega-3)
    - lack of vitamin D, A, B12, C, Zinc
    - lack of digestive enzymes
    - lack of good microbiome in the gut (caused by antibiotics)
    Remedies:
    - gluten/dairy free diet
    - scalp massage with oils (coconut, rosemary, neem, brigraj, olive, pumpkin seed) in an inversion (to increase blood flow)
    - practice yoga, some asanas (inversion, like downward dog, camel pose) increase blood flow to the scalp
    - meditate
    - derma needle stamp of scalp
    - wash hair less often
    - fermented rice or flaxseed rinse (watch out for protein overload)
    - sauna
    - any kind of exercise with sweating

      Thank you for all the information. I completely agree with everything, Hairloss is very individual and affects different to different people. For me is genetics. I am very healthy and have no other issues. So my approach is to accept it and be great full for all things I have rather than the ones I don’t 🥰

    Same here. I’ve had the PRP treatment 6 months ago and I don’t see any difference. Im currently using minoxidil daily and red light laser as well as hair growth oils . I’m very sad that it didn’t work. Iwas told that I would achieve at least 99% of my hair to grow back but I’m still cutting my hair down very short to cover up my male pattern baldness as a woman. I’m not sad but is very disappointed that it didn’t work as I was promised. Luckily I don’t mind my hair being cut short , I actually like it being short it easy maintenance and I get a lot complements with my hair being so short. I agree with you it didn’t work and thank you for sharing your experience. I thought it was just me. ❤❤❤🙏🏾

    I've been eating amla (gooseberry) , walnuts cashews, pumpkinseeds, dates and all the foods that have been proven to block dht and drinking green tea as well which is also beneficial for hair growth. I've been eating healthy since 7 days and I hope to continue doing so for a lifetime. My doctor always keeps telling me that all I need is a nutritious diet rich in fibres and vitmins also protiens so I include leafy greens and veggies in my meals 3 times a day and also before sleeping at night I drink 1 glass of milk mixed with 1 teaspoon of turmeric. This is my everyday diet and i feel like I'm noticing a bit of a difference here. Before all these i used to take only minoxidil and vitaminn supplements. My hairloss did improve but once I stopped te treatment my hair started falling again then I started using minoxidil again but nothing really worked so I changed the unhealthy diet I used to have and finally listened to my doctor. Now I'm only using minoxidil and eating a healthy diet as I mentioned earlier. Also having vitamin E 2 times a day bcz it has antioxidant properties. I also use pumpkin seed oil before washing my hair with shampoo twice a day. I know that I have androgenetic alopecia bcz my dad is bald and he started losing hair the same age as mine. I started losing hair when I was 16 and now I'm 19 i just hope my effort pays off.

    Hola Cici! El prp no funciona para la AGA. Realmente lo que funciona y es el tratamiento que yo tengo es: minoxidil tópico con finasteride (formula magistral), minoxidil oral con dustasteride (formula magistral), espirolactona e infiltraciones de dustasteride al 10% cada 3 meses. Con este tratamiento llevo 6 meses y estoy encantada con mi mejora. Recomiendo ir a un buen tricologo y seguir un tratamiento parecido al mío.

      PRP will not work for everyone. If your hairloss is due to hormones then chances are it won't work. PRP clinics would not be in business for long, thriving or becoming more popular if they didn't work. Read reviews, they work wonders for some and do nothing for others. Hair transplants are the exact same. Not everyone is a candidate to receive one. Reading the reviews for those clinics are mixed as well. Someone mentioned Rogaine, which works for certain hairloss and not for others.
      I agree, you should not make such a blanket statement where someone who is experiencing hairloss may read that, especially since not everyone is a viable person to get a hair transplant. If I read that at the beginning of my hairloss journey I would be seriously depressed.
