Any updates from the massaging? Have you stuck with it for a year? I've been doing a 20 minute massage once per day for about 6 weeks now and plan on doing it for the next year at least.

I haven't tried this stuff yet but I have a general question for more experienced people. Is there anyway to know if an increase in shedding is a result of a new treatment (new growth pushing out weaker hairs) as opposed to your hair loss worsening? Maybe by the type or appearance of strands...

When my shedding was worse I had these little "grains of sand" in my hair too. I don't seem to have them much anymore since I started using a homemade oil topical. I also derma roll (0.5 mm and 1.0 mm) and use Regenepure, a ketoconazole shampoo. My hair loss hasn't seemed to have gotten worse...

Awesome to see your results! You're giving me hope! I'll be 25 this year and have been balding since 21. I've been trying different things over the years and recently came across this aggressive massage technique which led me to finding your thread. My crown is thin like yours used to be...

I also came across another YouTuber who used scalp massages, derma rolling, and oils to regrow his hair. He has several videos outlining the different things he does and he's had decent results for a guy in his mid-late 50s. I'm still hopeful this is the way to go if you stick with it. At 24 I'm...

@Mook @Hangin'on Hair Any updates on Hairmetto? Still using it? Have you seen any regrowth or solid maintenance? I've been using the oils I made to try and replicate it for 8 months now (and derma rolling) and I don't see any difference in my hair loss, maybe a bit less shedding but no...

Hey, for about 8 months now I've really only been using oils topically and while I don't see any new growth, my hair loss doesn't seem to be getting worse. Shedding seems to have decreased and the bad scalp itch is pretty well gone. However, my lack of regrowth is a bit disappointing. I'm 24 and...

Interested to follow this thread and see what comes out if it. I have nettle tinctures that I've been putting in a serum I make but am considering taking it orally instead or in addition. Maybe I should try taking pumpkin seed oil orally too... Any ideas if oral or topical is better?

I've now been using my homemade "Hairmetto" oil and serum for 6 months. I use each about 3 times a week. I must say I am disappointed as I can't see any regrowth but it certainly doesn't appear to be any worse and my scalp is less itchy so at least there's that. I am now derma rolling every week...

UPDATE on the homemade Hairmetto oil and serum: I have been using the oil twice a week and serum four to five times per week for three months now. I've definitely noticed my scalp is less itchy which is nice. Whether or not this has a connection to hair loss, I don't know. I think I have less...

I recently made a DIY Hairmetto serum which is water based and not as greasy. It feels nice on the scalp because it's lighter than the oil and doesn't feel nearly as greasy. Here's what I added: Saw Palmetto: 800 mg (soft gel capsules poked open and squeezed out) Stinging nettle extract: 600 mg...

Well she didn't wanna return it so I've used the conditioner twice which smells and feels nice and the treatment spray for a week now. It kind of works as a styling product so I don't need to use any styling product after shampooing which I like. Haven't used the styling gel or shampoo yet and...

My girlfriend is very aware of my hair loss situation and just surprised me and bought me a Monat hair restoration kit with shampoo, conditioner, some spray, and a styling gel. I typically do a lot of research before I buy products so I did some searches on this company and found some horror...

It is quite oily but not as bad as the castor oil mix I used before since pumpkin seed oil is thinner. I use a dropper bottle to get it in the right places so it's not too bad and I put a towel on my pillow at night so my pillow case doesn't get greasy. Not ideal but if this is what I have to do...
