Interesting tip, Arlena, which suggests: track down all the toxins that may be entering your body. There are a lot of things you can try - a bewildering number of tips on these forums. And most have some beneficial effect. For me, not enough to stop my hair falling enough. My alopecia is from...

Rem, your photos from above could be me! Same exact look. I'm on all the supplements (good but only slight effects).I've been using Saw Palmetto orally and in an oil massaging it into my scalp. It helps. But I'm post-menopausal so I could use a lot more results! Going to try this experimentally...

Maybe try this for androgenic alopecia, even if they tell you it's not. They told me that too, but the androgenic itching of my scalp and loss of hair decreases when I take Saw Palmetto orally and also massge it into my scalp in an oil carrier. It's improved, but still a way to go, so I'm going...

I'm older, but also with PCOS and androgenic alopecia. Do you find that your scalp itches? Mine does, and I noticed it goes with the hair loss. So I suspected DHT (diydro testosterone) and started using Saw Palmetto to reduce the formation of that damaging hormone DHT. Result: scalp stopped...

Arlena that's a heads-up story for sure! Who would have thought? So perhaps for many people there is a contribution by toxic chemicals getting into the body from somewhere...

That itching of your scalp sounds like mine - and in me it comes down to the DHT (dihydro-testosterone). What I use is Saw Palmetto, both taken orally and also mixed in oil and massaged into my scalp. It specifically inhibits the DHT that causes hair to slow down instead of growing. Perhaps it...

Hi Dariam, Here's something I'm about to try after all my researches through the scientific papers: a hormone/protein called Klotho that reverses aging in both skin and hair! https://www.buckylabs.com/klotho-2/ I just can't wait to get mine and see what happens!

I'm a woman but quite androgynous all my life, and now post-menopause I'm losing hair in the same pattern as my dad! Horrors! I'm already pretty fed up with pharmaceutical drugs and their toxic effects, one of which is hair loss! Almost pushed to considering HRT, but as I'm a medical scientist...

This thread echoes my pain, and long journey to find something that works. My alopecia is from DHT (polycystic ovaries and now post-menopausal) but also blood thinning medication Eliquis. Definitely looking for a non-drug solution here... I'm a scientist with a medical research background so I...

Hi Purpleflower, A bit of time's gone by since you posted your question - did you find something that worked? I've read a lot of people's reports, and scientific research, and are slowly going through the gamut of non-pharmaceutical treatments myself. However I recently came across something...

I actually began losing my hair as a result of taking 2 anti-malarial drugs for 4 months while in India at the age of 42 (and a vibrant, young, fit, health-conscious 42 at that!). I found out only later that Malaprim and Chloroquin cause hair loss. So half my hair disappeared, leaving it much...

Hi P, I really feel for you. I'm a post-menopausal woman with poly-cystic ovary syndrome (lifetime of hell one way or another), and testing out Saw Palmetto for hair loss. I think it's starting to work... Probably different for men and women. However there are other things I do that are...
