The Science of Hair Loss: How to Prevent & Regrow Lost Hair

i'm 23 and going through hair loss and it's such a blow to my confidence

Guys, don't lose hope. As someone who has the most aggressive hair loss (my two brothers were Norwood 7 by 28-30), not to mention aggressive retrograde alopecia as well, all my cousins in both families are Norwood 6-7 by 30. I am 32 and have managed to keep 90% of my hair. Unfortunately I experienced bad side effects from finasteride and had to quit. However, using minoxidil + microneedling saved my hair. I strongly believe that DHT is related to blood circulation, which in turn due to low supply leads to hair loss. I used a derma roller + minoxidil and kept losing hair. Once I switched to a high-quality pen, within two months my shedding stopped and my hair started to get thicker by month 4 with a lot of new growth. I have followed this protocol for 5 years and haven't lost ground. It's possible—just be consistent. use a good Pen and do NOT skip sessions. If it worked for me, it should work for EVERYONE.

I am 32, and I started losing my hair at 16. I want to say a few things about it. Realizing I was balding as a teenager was hard. It felt so unfair, and I felt I was the only one. It fucked up my self-esteem for a long time. I tried treatments such as Minoxidil, but they didn't seem to do anything. I browsed the internet for different kind of solutions, but it was soon clear, that the best any treatment could provide was slowing down the process, usually not even stopping it. Over a period of several years I tried to cover my hear with bandanas or caps, refusing to shave my long blond hair. I was numbed by the fact, that while we can medicate and treat all kinds of illnesses, balding isn't curable. At the age of 20 finally shaved my head completely. After that I found such a relief, that it felt like almost getting my hair back: I didn't have to worry about it anymore. I coud be myself. I didn't have to have a near panic-attack, if I had to go somewhere where I couldn't wear a hat. Now, at the age of 32, I love how I look. I recently reached the point where I'd been balding for over half my life, and I realized, I haven't been thinking about it for ages. As a man, bald as an egg, and as a soon-to-be doctor, I would strongly suggest: don't go down the path of trying to flee balding. It won't work, and you'll be so disappointed in the end. If you feel balding affects your self-esteem, seek help, because that can be arranged. Embrace yourself, bald or not. It is a matter of you own mind, not body. May your future be as bright as the reflection from the top of my head on a sunnny day.

I got regrowth after my vitamin D critical deficiency treatment. Had it as low as 7 ng (normal is above 30), been applying vitamin D locally as ointment (calcipotriol). So check your vit D levels as well guys

As someone who is not a doctor but very interested in all these kind of topics I cannot believe you guys share all of this information and we can access it for free. Thank you so much

The best and far cheapest "cure" for hair loss not mentioned is acceptance. Society and videos like this tells us that baldness is ugly and wrong. Just find your bald style and be happy with the way you look. Being confident about it makes you way more attractive than any attempt to restore hair will. And if people don't accept you or try to shame you for it, you are not the problem, they are.

Im 29 and started losing my hair at 23. I waited until 26 and got a hair transplant. In all honesty its so worth it because it a huge confidence boost (at least for me). Also if you visit a good clinic etc they will transplant hair to areas that will be subject to hair loss. I paid 3000$ and couldnt be happier tbh. Even if it means spending another 3000$ in 10 yeard id do it without any hesitation

The most informative channel of the YouTube . Thank you so much !

Just today I came to the realization that I'm balding at 21 and you drop this video. That's funny af.

The worst part is to have the most wild body hairs on the whole body with lush black thick hairs only to met with thin brittle hairs that are falling on the scalp

This was much needed, Don't have any words to appreciate you.

It's quite reassuring when your paternal grandfather is almost in his 80s, and he's still not balding (or maybe a tiny bit). Unfortunately, he has other issues, notably stage 4 cancer that had spread from his intestines to his liver. Update: He died on April 15th, 2024.

I’ve fighting this for years. Minoxidil didn’t work. But I’m a female with PCOS. You could make a video about that. This could make a whole series. Male patterns, insulin resistance, infertility…

I would never expect such an academic channel to promote a product and then during the explanation just say they don't know why it works

I started walking every day and changed my diet but not for hair regrowth. I have no idea what did it but my hair has grown back so much thicker since.

Glad you guys got your chanel back!

I had a full head of hair before watching this. By the time he got to the solutions to prevent and regrow lost hair I was completely bald.

My hair started to go when I was in my early 20s. It's at the point now where I'm considering just getting it shaved off completely.

You’re explaining things sooooo nice 😊

Ive been on trt as of may of last year - My skin has been getting painful bumps as hair has been coming it around my face and stomach/abdomin. I looked into microneedling as an inexpensive home remedy , and so far (with skin cate /washing of course) its been helping my skin out a lot. Havent seen much follicle stimulation from it but its definitely prevented ingrown hairs
