Hi guys,
I've been a voyeur on this and other forums over the last couple of years and have researched and experimented with a couple treatment options suggested here.
Getting to the point, I was approx. NW1 and noticed some slight recession on one side about 4 years ago which I shrugged off as my hair was generally thick and it wasn't at all noticeable (I have quite long hair).
Then 2 years ago I went through a lot of emotional stress and my hair deteriorated quite suddenly in terms of condition on top and began to recede on both sides aggressively to at least a NW2.
Being quite vain I was aware this was happening so did my best to fight it. And from taking cues from the internet I initially tried Saw Palmetto with Pumpkin seed oil for about 4-5 months which did nothing but upset my stomach, so I fizzled that out.
The next thing I tried (with saw palmetto for a bit) was Regenepure DR only on the frontal area - I made the mistake of overusing it at first and it thinned my hairline badly. I believe this (and probably other Keto shampoos) should be used with caution; I have been using it for over a year now and only some of that shed hair is starting to grow back. I'm considering dropping it altogether and maybe just using it when i get a break out of spots/inflammation around my hairline (it seems good for this).
The point I'm making is that be cautious when using any products suggested on the internet; In hindsight I would have used the Keto shampoo just once or twice a week and weighed up the results.
Hairloss is scary when it starts and you worry if/when it will stop but there's that saying "throwing the baby out with the bath water". I feel some of these treatments/products should be more honest with the results they promote.
