Why and How to Use a Dermaroller to fight Hair Loss!
Hey my Fellow Follicle Frontiersmen! In this video I will explain how dermarolling or microneedling can be used to augment a hair loss regimen that includes finasteride and minoxidil. Of course, derma rolling can be used on it's own and will likely yield limited results dependent on how aggressive your own hair loss is. But it absolutely works best when partnered with finasteride and minoxidil, as is supported by studies on the effect of microneedling on hair regrowth.

My hair began thinning when I turned 27. I freaked out, so I started to do tons of research and tried pretty much everything. The only set of things that had any noticeable effect was:
1. Microneedling with a 1.5mm once a week.
2. Applying rosemary oil to my scalp every night.
When I was using a 0.5mm dermaroller, it maintained the rate of my hair loss. It stopped it from getting worse, but it didn't stop it neither. I maintained a steady loss of about 20-25 hair strands every time I washed my hair.
When I moved to a 1.5mm (what was used in a highly referenced study) micro needling "stamp" and applying rosemary oil every night, my shedding after washing my hair went from 20-25 strands, to less than 5 within a month. With my new routine, the corners of my hairline have started to regrow and my hair loss rate has seriously decreased.
What may work for me, may not work for you. Perhaps 0.5mm is all you need. I hope this helps anyone reading!
Andrew Nguyen how often do you do the derma roller?
@@waynechen7145 Typically once a week.
Andrew Nguyen firstly, I want to thank you for offering such great advice to all of those who watch this video. We need more guys like you sharing good knowledge.
I would like to echo what you said and say go with a 0.5mm and then see what your results are over the course of a few months. It’s an inexpensive option to try and almost everyone can tolerate it.
I’m glad you had such a great outcome. Have you ever talked about in a UA-cam video before?
-DJ
I use the derma roller 3 times a week mon-wed-fri with a fenugreek remedy. I started last week. Should i use the derma once a week instead? And since your applying the oil every night, you wash your hair more frequent?
Ada Ada Yeah earlier I lost 10 strands in the entire day and I read it’s normal for men to lose about 50-80 strands per day supposedly. Women lose more than 100
I started using the same derma roller on May 17th. I use a shampoo for hair loss and apply a special plant-based serum for hair loss, nothing else, and no Minoxidil. I figured, if I ever get results, I want them to stick, so the process has to be as natural as possible. I derma roll twice a week (0.5mm). I am very surprised. I can see hair growth in the back/middle section of my head. It's amazing. But I need to be patient and wait for like 3 months to be sure of the quality of the new hair.
@@andrewtw69 hows it going?
@@andrewtw69 how’s it going so far for you?
I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure your Dermaroller has REAL needles and not blades!!
Damn. Blades would be a disaster!
😭😭
Wait how do you know if it has needles not blades
youre pretty much the best youtuber that talks about balding.
Aamer, I’m honored to hear your compliment! I’ll keep working hard to improve with each video.

He really is! I just discovered him but had been also following "hairliciously" who is also informative and honest like this guy.
I was thinning years ago but have been maintaining hair regrowth now for years and was looking into dermarolling which is how I found keratin brotherhood then jumped down the rabbithole of all of his videos! You have one new subscriber!
Thanks for your content!
Clearly you haven't heard of Derek of more plates more dates
Just came across your video while looking for info for my husband. I really appreciate how thorough and informative you are. Great video 👌🏽
Thank you for checking my video out, Honey. For the majority of men, thereis really nothing to worry about when it comes to dermarolling, minoxidil, not finasteride. Good luck to your husband and he’s lucky to have a supportive partner helping him along the way!

@@keratinbrotherhood how many times in a week
3:51 2 and half months of dermarolling, using finasteride and monoxodil bro congratz, that shit has improved amazingly well
One of the best video I’ve ever seen about derma rolling❤️
"Guys, you're not gonna fucking die" 😂 and thank you for the helpful content!
Another good tip for people trying to keep their hair is to get a good shower water filter. They're not that expensive and spare your hair, scalp and skin being pelted by toxicity in the water supply which can be harsh on your scalp and skin. Massaging with a strong steady motion ( not to the point of pain ) with a wooden bristle brush increases blood flow and breaks up calcification in the scalp. Look into a good natural shampoo too that is clean with natural ingredients can only be a good thing towards keeping what hair you have and possible hair regrowth.
this is so true. i have tried and tried telling my friends this and they all think im boujie. but its a THING and it does wonders for your skin too, and eyes. like wow
Just got my derma roller today. I got the one you are using thru your link. I've decided to use Dr. Morse's Upper Body Circulation Tincture and Nettle Root to control DHT naturally and stimulate strong blood flow to the scalp area endogenously while a strong blend of essential oils and derma rolling will stimulate blood flow to the scalp exogenously.
Idk wtf u said but that shit sounded real good and I’m just going to take your advice on that 😂
How did your journey go??
Your enthusiasm is infectious... Love the channel
Thank you Samuel! I'm glad my content is reaching the right viewers.

Dermarolling is great and also basically kept me from quitting Finasteride because I have a rare side effect where Fin causes melasma (hyperpigmentation) on the cheeks, kinda like a pregnant woman would get it during pregnancy when the hormones go crazy. I hope Dermarolling can treat it combined with Vitamin C Serum
Somberlain, that’s a unique side effect for sure. In one of the research studies I referenced for this video discussed the positive outcome of derma rolling and vitamin c serum. I don’t personally have hyperpigmentation; but I’d love to hear about your progress while using it.
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood I think it only has a chance to occur for people who have really light skin, that side effect was yet undocumented when I started taking Fin I believe but there are some mentions of it now. It makes sense though, seeing how hormonal changes can cause this in women too. It's known as "mask of pregnancy" because hormonal changes of that degree are normally exclusive to women. I'm gonna report back but it will probably take months to see results, ugh
Dermarolling is great to just stimulate the body so it doesn't surprise me it helps men w hair loss
Anna, exactly! Dermarolling offers many benefits and hair growth stimulation is just one of them. Thank you for watching!
-DJ
KB your doing a great job and its a lot of fun to reverse hair loss and to see your consistency pay off god bless.
Prp hair is also great. I’m on finesteride and take biotin 10,000mcg. I’ve grown so much hair. Prp is micro needling with ur blood and plasma it’s worth it.
Hi , From where you did the PRP , Is this treatment expensive
I been doing this around 6 months. One thing, for aggressive loss in males especially, it is highly likely due to high testosterone. In some countries you can get drug finastride as a blocker but there are side FX, also pumpkin oil does same thing. Biotin is actually a vitamin, not a blocker, for anyone concerned. Minoxidil is useful though for mild hairless and does play a role in prevention further loss. Generally speaking dermarolling is a useful thing in aggressive hairloss. A 0.5mm roller for scalp. 2mm for arms and belly or fat areas in general to tighten skin or stretch marks over time.
there is a diffrence between DHT and testosterone youre spreading false information
The class I took on hairloss says to use at 2.0 mm the same length used for transplants. You'll need treatments less and see quicker results. Of course it'll vary, but that's what I was taught.
Cre, thank you for your feedback. 2mm is a bit long for household use and most guy don’t know how to use a smaller gauge (0.5-1.0mm) properly. A longer gauge like a 2.0mm used properly is an effective measure to spur collagen production; but the worry is that people will think “more is better” and cause more harm than good by rolling too often.
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhoodthat makes complete sense now. I'll be giving these treatments inside a hairloss treatment center. So the roller and take home would be for maintenance
@@thealopeciadoctor hey. How many times per week would you suggest using a 2.0mm? Thank you! 🙏🏼
@@VAHZGEN only once a week or once every two weeks depending on your tolerance with the needles and heal time
@@thealopeciadoctor thank you! 🙏🏼

Random other option for those who are just trying stuff out: Balayam. It's an ancient indian technique that involves rubbing your fingernails together. It's actually worked for me to have some results, not 100% but there has been progress. You can search to see how it's done but it's very basic.

Just wanted to know your thoughts on using bio oil after derma rolling ?
Amazing bro! So stoked for you dude. Minoxidl for many many years, lost a lot still, failure of FUT procedure, iRestore lazer every 2nd day, started rolling 0.5mm last thursday. Excited! hahah Thats the best I can summarize my long journey so far
Wow David, you've been in the game for a while! What exactly happened that made your surgery a failure? Did your transplanted hairs fail to take? I'm really excited to hear back from you reporting about new growth thanks to derma rolling!
-DJ
What happened?
I just started the hairmetto program. There is a guy who puts up videos called “the bald truth”. He had great results, but dermarolling is the key...but this is what I was looking for as Imgoing to start finastride and Minixidil in 6 month
Craig, yeah I have seen his video before. It was very thorough and lot of guys seem to be following his advice. Derma rolling is quite effective in most cases; it's surprising that more men aren't trying it.
-DJ
This is exactly what I was looking for!I ordered a dermaroller but had no clue how to make it effective.
Had to sub to your channel!Positive vibes!
How hard should I press while derma rolling?
Chad
Thank you for supporting the channel, Chad! I truly appreciate it.
You should apply enough pressure to penetrate the skin. You’ll knowing it’s enough because it feels uncomfortable. But if it feels painful (much different than uncomfortable!), that’s too much pressure. Let me know how it works out for you. Looking forward to hearing about new growth!
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood i dont wana use to minoxidil......i want to use only derma roller....should it be work for regrowth???bro
@@pubghuntermahadi871 my question aswell, just using the roller, is it effective or you need to use Minoxidil?
@@Motivationsiskey roller and buy some natural oil that helps w hair growth
I'm so happy for you bro! I just ordered mines
Great video. Thank you for the thorough background info on everything and the technique on how to use the dermaroller.
I had a friend who derma rolled every 3 days with minoxidil to grow a beard, so i started doing that with my thinning crown and top and is been pretty successful, i believe i use a .7 mm tho
one question can I apply it on long hair, because I dont want to have a hair cut right now
2nd do i need to wash my hair before applying derma roller
plzz reply
Hi Abishek, welcome to the channel and thank you for your questions.
You can dermaroll with long hair. The recommendation is to wet your hair first to reduce hair tugging, then part the hair is the areas you plan to dermaroll. Dermaroll the exposed scalp and then part the hair in a different area and repeat. It takes longer than short hair, of course. But the principles are the same.
It recommended you wash your hair first to remove any harmful substances from your skin. But if you’re only using a 0.5mm, you could dermaroll without washing. I wouldn’t do that myself. But it is possible.
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood
Better to wash the scalp and let it dry before applying derma roller
Anyways thanks for the reply sir...
i have long hair and im dermarolling now~ just use longer needles probably so it get past the hair easily. also u will need to put on more effort by parting your hair manually on parts that are thinning so u can roll on them
In another video of yours, you told us that we can use minoxidil just after the derma roller. Whereas in this video you are telling all opposite.
Like no you can't use minoxidil after derma roller. What's the scene bro please let me know! The correct procedure.
I appreciate all the research you did on this topic DJ! Do you think micro-needling could also work for people with bald patches (for example, people who suffer from trichotillomania)? Sounds like an interesting technique, thanks for sharing!
He didn't do any research. He just ripped off all the hard work done by all forum members on the hairlosstalk.com forum.
That’s an interest point of view. Unfortunately you are quite wrong and if you have been following my channel for more than a day, you’d know how hard I work to research what I’m taking about.
Putting your personal attack aside for the moment, the internet is free information. Where did the forum members get “all of their hard work” from? If we suppose your rationale applies equally to everyone, would that mean to say that everyone is wrong for being a secondary source? Should only researchers be able to discuss their findings?
Feel free to peruse my google drive folder that contains all of the studies I used and dig up myself at my university.
And the person you’re commenting on now knows this to be true since she and I attended graduate school together, where we conduct our own research as secondary sources from primary researchers.
Thanks for watching and for your comment.
-DJ
Hey Nelly! I’ll look into and get back to you. I recall seeing that mentioned in one of the minoxidil studies I used in one of my previous videos.
-DJ
I currently shave my head everyday, since the bald look really suits me. I've been wanting to grow back some hair in order to have a buzz cut, just to change things up. I have a very bad receding hairline. If I were to dermaroll, can I still shave everyday? I look pretty awkward with letting it grow with how it's receding ATM...
Can your hair grow back by only using the derma roller (1mm) and some normal castor oil? Does anyone have experience with this ?
So, in like a year I'll have an afro? Sweet! Mom's going to be surprised.
is she surprised
Had a hair transplant majority of my head to bring back my hair line and back to just before the crown and was told I’m gonna need a second round to make the crown match the front of my head if it doesn’t respond to minox and fin. I’m gonna try derma rolling and castor oil since it seems like most people actually have success regrowing the crown area so I’m hopeful I really don’t wanna do another fue surgery being a mechanic last one cost me all my vacation time to dodge getting infections.
**I was severely bald there was essentially nothing on the front half of my scalp transplant was my only option**
I'm about to buy my 1st Derma roller. I'm thinning in all the areas you are, as well as my temples. Hoping for thicker and fuller hair in 2020.. salute
Any results?
@@ismaileminov5459 Absolutely NOT, unfortunately.. I've accepted my fate, and decided to just use fibers for now. I've been looking into those little tattoos dots that look like hair follicles. Dont know what it's called but it looks like it'll give the illusion of at least a buzz cut. Just need it for the temples and crown.. Good luck..
Thank you for clear advice Dj😎. Im keep in it up👌
Keep up the good work! Your videos are informative and you come across as a solid dude. I've only recently started to apply Rogaine 5% foam on my scalp, it's been a week. Unfortunately i take a high blood pressure medication daily and i find that in conjunction with Rogaine 2x a day i get extremely dizzy. The past two days i have only applied Rogaine once a day and the symptoms are marginally better. I ordered a 0.5mm Derma Roller today and i'm extremely excited. I am not getting my hopes up but its better than nothing. If... and it's a major IF.. i get some decent results in 6-9 months time with the Derma Roller and once a day Rogaine. Do you think applying Rogaine once every other day would be sufficient to maintain?? I know that if you stop Rogaine altogether one will lose all gains by 1-2 months. However.. if one has gotten a "satisfactory" result from Derma + Rogaine. Do you think applying Rogaine once every other day should be enough to maintain? I've googled the efficacy of Rogaine but sadly there really isn't a lot of literature out there.
Sir I want your advice. I know you are a very good person. Sir I have many questions which is details given below:
1. How many times one derma roller can be used.
2. How many months to use it.
3. How long after using the derma roller can be castor oil?How long after use it can be done.
4. Can i use caster oil and Minoxidil after derma roller use?
Sir i am from Asia (Bangladesh).
How much pressure do you use when using the dermaroller?
How soon can I dermaroll after a hair transplant?
I tried derma rolling. My scalp was redish afterwards. There was no blood. I noticed my hair fall was a little bit more 1-2 days afterwards. Does derma rolling cause temporary shedding ? I love your videos 🙂
Please use Castor oil and coconut oil in your hair. It will regrow
Thank you for your comment, Joshua. I currently use black castor oil and argan oil. Coconut oil makes my skin break out, so I have to avoid it.
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood I understand. Be blessed
@@keratinbrotherhood i can't see coconut oil causing breakouts - it's properties prevent that - are u using a cold pressed version?
I understand the point you’re trying to make; for some people virgin coconut oil works well. But for me, no form of coconut oil works for me. My skin has always been sensitive to oils.
www.acne.com/effective-products/over-the-counter-products/coconut-oil-acne-treatment/
Question: Could this cause scar tissue and further hairloss IN THE FUTURE, despite having growth for now?
thats a good question. the only thing i recommend is to only use the derma roller 1-2 week if even and to use high quality oils that heal and protect your skin
Dude you have a small head! I’ve got a big melon myself lmao 😂Thanks for the great vid and information brotha.

Bernat A Are you serious? Does it regrow your hairline abd temple area?
@@andrewmiller7201 yep. Mainly hairline and top, for now (been doing it for 2 months and a half), temples taking longer (I see baby hairs growing, but too early still to judge properly). Yesterday after the shower I looked at my hairline and though "wtf, in a year or so I can have a full head of hair if this regrowth continues". If I see that they fall, I will start using fin.
Bernat A Nice. Are you taking any supplements?
Hey I got some gains as well but also experienced a lot of shedding. Did that happen to you?
That’s absolutely great, Bernat! And thank you for sharing your knowledge with others.

Thank you for this video, super useful and easy to understand :) I have been using dermaroller for three weeks now, I use the 0.5ml one but I use it 2-3 times/week, good to know that I can use it only once. I also use minoxidil 5% but I use it twice/day even on the day I use dermaroller, but I am going to skip it on the day I use dermaroller from now on. I stopped using finasteride as I unfortunately started to experience side effects. I really hope to get good results as I started using derma roller after I kinda was not getting any good results with my regimen (btw I undergo PRP plasma session once/month) for 7 months now, will the minoxidil twice/day, the shedding has stopped and I feel my hair is just a bit thicker but I don't notice any new hair regrowth (I occasionally notice couple of tiny hairs when I take a close-up pic of my hair) but that's it. I also take biotin+zinc+selenium supplement and use Alpecin caffeine shampoo daily. I hope using the dermaroller is going to boost the results to a satisfactory level as I don't feel I am satisfied with I am getting so far. Appreciate if you have any comments to help in my case and thanks again for this video.
P.S: I subscribed to the channel 🙂 and looking forward to more helpful videos like this one.
Any update?
Where do you get Finasteride? I dont see an Amazon link in the description.
There are several places online you can get it from. I recommend baldness.doctor but you could also try Hims or Keeps.
I'll add a link to the description for others. Thank you for pointing that out.
-DJ
Nobody should use Finasteride! Its a drug that often can cause PERMANENT IMPOTENCE as a side-effect....which is worse than being bald! Avoid that shit.
Once I read that you have to use minoxidil the rest of your life or you lose hair , I never tried it . I wanted something more permanent.
Ok so I started minoxidil 7 weeks ago and have seen an improvement. I have seen loads of videos about derma rolling and minoxidil and was wondering if I add derma rolling to my routine will i start to shed again and be back at square 1. I know I'm only 7 weeks in but have gone past the shedding stage and seen lots of vellus hairs come threw and the shedding has stopped. also would like to know is it safe to apply the minoxidil right after derma rolling. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Skills, thank you for your question. Dermarolling should not cause shedding. Minoxidil however, does cause shedding in waves. These waves are unavoidable and some are worse than others. But it sounds like you're in-between sheds, which is a good place to be.
As for applying minox, please wait 24 hours after dermarolling before applying minox. Applying it immediately following a session increases the risk of side effects.
I hope this helps. Consider dropping by my blog for more articles about minox and dermarolling. kbhood.com
Thanks for watching, brother.
-DJ
Same advice wait 24 hours before application. God bless
How often should I use a 0.5 mm derma roller per week? Can I use 1mm derma roller once a week/month?
Max the study by Singh & Yadav (2016) suggests spreading sessions with 1.5mm our by one month. 0.5mm should be spread by at least 5 days. So I suppose bimonthly is safe for a 1mm.
You can refer to this and the other studies in the video description.
Thank you so much for watching my video, brother. Have a good week.

Do you need to use Monox or Finasteride? I'm 20 and i have hair a receding hairline, and am thinning and losing hair on my crown? Can i just use a derma roller?
Shahzad, for sure you can add derma rolling by itself. It's a great thing to add to any man's daily hair care regimen I believe. You might see some good results after a couple of months.
I would like to add that all three things: minox, fin, and dermarolling work in different ways and each is augmented by the others. So using any of them in isolation will likely yield lesser results. At least adding minoxidil is recommended.
Thanks for your question!
-DJ
Eat healthy diet with biotin rose mary essential oil and minoxidil
Great video man! Have a questions…can use toppik the morning after I derma roller my head? Thank you! 👍🙏
What do you recommend? A 0.5mm or 1.5mm derma roller. I hear people mentioning both these sizes a lot for regrowth. What is the recommended size for the most effective results?
TheArtofWar, good question. The recommended size for in-home use is 0.5mm to 1.5mm, like you mentioned. The dermarolling interval is the most important element, not the size. 0.5mm is okay to use at once every 5 days. I use it once every 7 days because I use Minoxidil on my scalp and I trade an application of min for dermarolling. 1mm and 1.5mm require longer periods of time between sessions; too frequent and there is increased risk of scarring.
I’ve gotten great results from 0.5mm, so I see little reason to go with a higher gauge.
Try it out for yourself and see why you can get at 0.5 or 1mm (twice a month is the interval) before using a 1.5mm. Bigger isn’t always better with diminishing returns.

Keratin Brotherhood What is your take on LLLT (low level laser therapy) such as the iRestore helmet? Have you tried yet? Btw are you Filipino and Black?
To be honest, I’ve never tried LLLT before. I have read a study (I can’t recall where I found it) that showed correlation between lllt and hair growth stimulation. Some people on Reddit and also MattDominance here on UA-cam swear by it. I’m withholding judgement until I have personal experience with it.
And yes, I’m Filipino and black 😊

What happens if you don't use the drugs just the oils and vitamins.
can I apply rosemary oil after the derma-rolling session? Thanks DJ btw your videos have been very helpful in allaying my fears of trying derma-rolling since I'm already on finasteride...
Yes you can! As long as you dilute it properly, you can apply pretty much any essential oil after dermarolling. Thanks for watching!

should I use 0.5mm or 1mm?
I saw we have to get advice from a doctor if we use 1mm mm or above
Thank you for all the great content brother!
Hi. Are you still using the roller or not any more? Do you do any preparation to your hair and scalp before you start using the roller each session?
The Big Three are known as Minox, Fin and Nizoral. Dermarolling is new to the general public... it's been known for years throughout the hair loss community like Tresless and HairLossTalk.com forum.
Thomas thanks for pointing that out. I’m also active in both communities and am aware of nizoral. However, recently there has been a shift away from niz and toward dermarolling as the 3rd piece of the “Big Three.”
Semantics aside, though, there is more research supporting the benefits of dermarolling and I prefer to include it in my regimen above niz (which definitely has it’s place in the discussion).
Thanks for watching!
-DJ
You are correct Ketoconazole is part of the big three not dermarolling but it’s not very effective compared to dermarolling
Thank you for stopping by Michael. I'm sure in the near future, as a community, we'll amend either name (Big 4?) or replace Niz with derma rolling. It's just a matter of time.
Have a great weekend.
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood - I'd say the big 4.
@@michaels999 How does Ketoconazole compare to Saw Palmetto for shampooing as a DHT blocker? It seems that Ketoconazole is the only FDA approved method to be effective
Yo brother you're an inspiration. I hope all is goin good sir
Great informative video!
Not to ruin the community chat thats going on...but looks like the big scar underneath your crown is from the follicle extraction surgery that is usually done during hair transplant.
I mean not that its a bad thing, but you ought to mention that you indeed have done a 3000-4000 follicle transplant surgery and its been 2months + your usage of the roller + the other stuff.
My point is, the video title looks a little misleading.
Thanks for the feedback Nith. I did have everything you mentioned included in this video. Unfortunately I received so many complaints about the vitro length and the amount of talking that I edited out those sections, along with several other pertinent ones.
There was no good solution though because once I did that, people began to say I was misleading them (view the comments section).
In an effort to solve this problem, I made a completely new dermarolling video recently that has all of what you mentioned, plus has a lengthy description to further reduce the confusion.
Take a look here: How to Derma Roll for Hair & Beard Growth
ua-cam.com/video/Be_pPxLbFZg/v-deo.html
My mission on this channel is to be as transparent as possible because the fact that there is so much misleading hair loss information out there. I apologize if I failed in this video.
Thanks again for watching!

Do you wash out the castor oil after leaving it overnight with shampoo or rinse your hair with water?
DJ...just started researching hairloss...where do I find that "F" pill and the "M" stuff you mentioned in your vid? Ya hair looks dope!!!👌
Hey Woo, thank you for your compliment and question!
I linked to the minoxidil in the video description. You can choose between the liquid and the foam versions. They function the same, but offer their own pros and cons, which I talked about here:
kbhood.com/2018/11/26/which-minoxidil-is-better-foam-or-liquid-research-based-conclusion/
As for the finasteride, there are a few companies that offer online consultation and shipping options. I recommend baldness.doctor
Let me know if you have any other questions, brother.

Keeps or hims makes it simple to get everything
After one time I used I find myself my hair is growing thank you very much mate .is there anything to used after rolling please let me know
May i know is dermarolling with minoxidil regrow hair fast. But if we stop minoxidil will the hair start to fall?
Razzak, hey brother. Yes, unfortunately, if you discontinue minoxidil, you will shed any hairs you gained while using the drug within a couple of months of stopping.
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood thank you for replying DJ, i have just research regarding minoxidil and your video was helpful, i am searching for certain information but i was not able to find any possible answer, can u clarify me with this question. If im using 2ml minoxidi a day morning n night application 1ml each for the first 6 months, and in that 6 month period i have regrow my hair back, after the 6 month period im still continuing using minoxidil but i want to reduce the dosage for 1ml a day just using it at night, will there be complication of my hair will fall again because reducing the dosage?
razzak md.noh the half-life of topical minoxidil is about 22 hours; so if you only applied once a day, it’s quite possible to maintain the growth. The only way to know for sure is to see how your body responds. If you start noticing significant shedding after switching to once a day, reconsider applying only once a day.
-DJ
Try black seed oil
Once a week is fine or nah? Keep up the good work man best video yet!
Great video dude! You seem like a nice genuine dude :) Maybe you're Canadian haha. I'm currently on Fin for 6 weeks, light shedding right now :(
Haha, I'm American, but I've been living overseas for the past 6 years and I think it has influenced me a bit lol. Thank you for your compliment!
As for the shedding, how much shedding are we talking about here? Were you shedding prior to starting fin? Also, how advanced/aggressive is your hair loss? And are you using minoxidil?
-DJ
I dermaroll then apply minoxidil with topical finasteride, alfatradiol, stemoxydine, ru58841 and a drop of retin-a. I've never experienced any type of systemic sides.
Thank you brother for these vids
after your hair grew out and stuff, can you stop minoxidil and just use derma rolling?
Hi.. What's recommended usage of derma roller? Once or twice a week?
How haven't I seen your channel before??!!
Hi Justice, probably because I'm still a small channel. But I'm glad you found me and hope you decide to drop by often to say hello and comment!
-DJ
Im experimenting with derma rolling with .25 every other day(so 2 day recovery time), I do 5 left/right diagonal, horizontal, vertical; I finished the fourth session to be honest only the first time I've noticed a lot of red but after that it hasn't even been like a 2.5 out of 10 in redness compared to the first time(mind you the first time was barely red it didn't even bleed).
I use tea tree oil and some biotin/collagen oils; my hair loss some would say it blessed its been 2 years since I've been balding, I've been shaving aggressively to see if anymore of my follicles are weak and not that I can see. My crown is full the my back of the head is full except my widow's Peake is receeding - I haven't noticed anymore balding it's just like your crown it's 60% dense than normal and haven't noticed any loss in 2 years mind u I shave bald agressively.
If I get transplant I estimate 100-200 hairs more on the hundred side I'm not a pro so idk. I would get a surgery but why should I spend 3000 dollars on 100-200 hairs I can't find a cheap place.
That's just to give you perspective on my hair loss, so how do you think the way I dermaroll would effect my hair?
I'm a type ll on the norwood scale if that gives u better reference but with 60% density.
For more context the balding was probably due to monoxidil I used on my face at 18 to grow a beard(stupid I was the test dummy and I say no one should do it) and it accelerated the growth of my beard( it's decent) but it also accelerated the cycle of my hair so I'm 20 with a 30 year olds hairline pretty much
ROP, thank you for leaving such a detailed comment and question. I always appreciate it when people take the time to write out their questions.
Without photos, it sounds to me like you are dealing with diffuse thinning. In that case, dermarolling could help.
I cannot recall the name of the study I read, but there was a study that said to spur collagen production in your scalp (and consequently lead to hair growth), at least a 0.5mm needle is required to induce enough skin trauma. A 0.25mm is generally used for daily use to help skin care products to penetrate the skin. This would also explain why you haven’t noticed much redness.
Have you considered upping the needle length?
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood I thought the fda didn't approve of needles the size above .30 for non medical use
hi, can i ask something stupid that I havent understand yet.
I am not going to have or had a hair transplant ever. Can i use only derma roller to see some results? without anything else, products, minoxydil or creams.
Is it possible? My hair just starting thining to the front of my head. Do you think is this going to help at all only derma roller ? Thanks
Fk sorry for the late reply! Yes you can absolutely see results with only a dermaroller. The mechanism by which it works is the body’s own healing process. It will happen with or without creams/minoxidil/or whatever else. Of corpse, using other stuff concurrently will boost the effectiveness, but you most definitely can see result with dermarolling alone.
Thanks for your question!

Hi DJ,
What is your thoughts about using topical finasteride and regaine is that too much stuff on the scalp? Also what are your feelings about Hims.com
Hi Naruto, I don’t know enough about topical finasteride to make a judgement about it. I’ve only heard about it and I have no firsthand experience. As for being too much on your scalp, it depends on your tolerance. If you don’t get any irritation or other negative sides, then go for it. If you’re still unsure, I’d suggest asking a dermatologist for more information.
I’ve never used Him’s because I live in South Korea; but they are legit. Their prices are a little higher for fin than baldness.doctor and their minoxidil prices are higher than you could find yourself on amazon. But from a convenience perspective, they are good. I’d stick to just fin and min though. The other stuff is not worth the money imo.
-DJ
you might want to talk to a dermatologist about this
With regards to using the derma roller, how much force would you say to use? I know your video says it doesn’t have to cause bleeding. I just started using it this week and was not really in any real discomfort. I was pushing down firmly.
Thank you for all the great tips. Your channel is awesome
Can I apply oil on my head after using the dermaroller or before it? And do I wet my hair before using it or just keep my scalp dry? I apologize I just discovered this today and still kinda unsure and confused a bit about it.
After.
Hi there, How many times a week can I use 0.5mm derma roller with minoxidil? Thank you.
DJ, I have a 0.25mm derma roller, I have been using it every other day, or every 24hrs. Would I see any progress if I continue with this routine? Should I go for a 0.5mm? And do it every Friday like you suggested? Thank you!!
Do you recommend to do it once a week? or the more the better?
Peppermint oil works really good too!
Yes! That and rosemary oil.
Great info man. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, Eric!

Hay k ponerlo y no apretar cuantos días hay k hacerlo a la semana hay k echarse algun tonico

I’m not messing with finasteride. I’ll do everything else
Of course, Jermaine. You got to do what's best for you. Let me know if you have any questions about anything.

Keratin Brotherhood I know not everyone has side effects with propecia but if you experience the bad side effects will they go away if you stop use?
Thank you for your video. You know what I was doing? I was rolling and putting minoxidil 5% right after. Or I was applying then rolling. Second I rolled everyday and applied garlic right after sometimes. I WAS LOSING IT, it was giving me headaches . But then I saw a video that proved me i was nutts. Dangerous but worked amazingly but short after my hair started to fall again, now I take into consideration these times of videos. Thanks
Thanks man! Any side affects from the fin?
Also, I know us guys hate hearing this but you'd look great with your head shaved. Got sharp jaw lines and can grow facial hair, something I don't have and can't do 😂.
You’re the best!!💙
