Hello everyone. I'm 23 and noticed my hair was starting to thin at 21 on the crown. I didn't do much in the beginning except get a shampoo with some good ingredients (Art Naturals) but it didn't seem to help much. I've tried using castor oil and coconut oil mixed with lavender oil but not long enough probably. I took one 450 mg capsule of saw palmetto for two weeks but suffered from a loss of libido and serious mood change, almost depression so I stopped. I now use Nettle root extract twice a week and just bought Regenepure DR and will use it twice a week and alternate with the rest of my Art Naturals shampoo. I also just bought a 0.5 mm derma roller and will do that once a week. Any suggestions or comments on this routine? Also, do you think I'd be able to mix the powder of my saw palmetto capsules with oil and apply it topically or is that a waste of time? They're just wasted otherwise.

Sorry none of that will do anything at all
Why? I don't want to use finasteride because of the potential side effects since I experienced those with saw palmetto. What are my options if I don't use finasteride?
Honestly you need finasteride. Minoxidil and dermarolling can also help but I feel that if you’re serious about combating hair loss you need finasteride at least.

Well I don't think any hair is coming back in but I think at the very least it's holding it where it is. No sides on Nettle root because I'm using the extract topically. Once it runs out I may try it internally since I haven't seen anyone experiencing the sides that some have seen with saw palmetto
