Hello, I've been an avid reader of EC for quite some time now, and I'm thrilled to be making my debut post here. Over the years, I've gained a substantial amount of knowledge through self-application of natural remedies, among other things. This has led me to accumulate considerable expertise in certain subjects. Today, I want to delve into the topic of hair regrowth, as it can significantly impact one's confidence and daily life. I'll be sharing my personal regimen and insights I've gathered on this matter.

Hair loss comes in various forms, including Pattern hair loss, Alopecia areata, and Telogen effluvium. It's important to recognize that it's not a one-size-fits-all "hair loss" situation. I'd like to focus on the more prevalent form, which is Pattern hair loss, often referred to as male pattern baldness, particularly as men age. This is a condition that affects nearly every male to some extent.

Having intermittently researched this subject for many years, I've recently implemented a hair growth program that has yielded impressive results. I'm genuinely excited about the progress and haven't cut my hair in months (previously, I would shave my head bald).

Here's what I've discovered: Once you identify the specific type(s) of hair loss affecting you (which could be multiple), you can approach treatment more effectively. The initial step involves addressing any inflammation within the scalp. Personally, I dealt with dandruff issues and used specialized "medicinal shampoos" for a few weeks to tackle this problem. While I'm usually inclined toward natural remedies, I conducted research on the active compounds in these products and decided to use them temporarily to address the issue. It's worth noting that natural remedies like CLO2 or BORAX could potentially treat dandruff issues caused by yeast, fungus, or bacteria.

With improvements in scalp health, the focus can shift to hair regrowth strategies. The most impactful techniques in my case include rigorous 20-minute scalp massages twice a day and "micro needling" using a 1.5mm derma roller every two weeks. I've also delved into intriguing information about scalp tension and elasticity. I've observed a potential link between scalp tension and pattern hair loss, making the application of massages particularly beneficial. Additionally, I've incorporated minoxidil foam twice daily. While there are other natural remedies available, my previous attempts with minoxidil years ago yielded minimal results. However, the combination of scalp massages and micro needling has been astonishing, revealing a new layer of hair growth that I find quite exciting. I'm also planning further experiments, such as applying colloidal silver post micro needling due to its potential stem cell effects and healing properties.

In summary: Begin by addressing scalp inflammation (such as dandruff in my case). Next, engage in mechanical scalp stimulation through micro needling (once per week / 2 weeks) and/or scalp massages (daily / twice per day). Optionally or as recommended, explore chemical scalp stimulation using minoxidil or natural remedies like rosemarinic acid, rosemary oil, cedarwood oil, and peppermint oil. Hope this brings back confidence and hope to any male of females experiencing hair loss symptoms.
