Hi so want to finally put some effort into tackling my hair thinning. I think there's potential for some of it to be saved, but its at a point now where I need to do something about it.
I'm seriously considering hair transplantation. I have no interest in taking finasteride because of the gastly side effects, I just don't want to do that to myself and I know how sensitive my body is to chemicals so feel like i'd be very susceptible.
Current regime
I have been using Nizoral for quite a while now consistently, trying not to overdo it just 2-3 times a week tops, its helped with my itchy scalp and dandruff problem a lot that I used to have. I have also been consistently using a Nioxin shampoo and conditioner - after which my hair feels pretty nice and sometimes does look thicker but I wouldn't say it has done much else for me.
I used Minoxidil for about a month once and didn't see much change, basically forgot to order a next bottle and then fell off the wagon with it.
Please help me define a new regime? From this site what I can gather is in my circumstance I would use an S5 Cream to block DHT, then use Minoxidil again to aid regrowth, and then does the Nizoral act as the anti-inflammatory?
What about shampoo and conditioner? I've read some stuff and tend to lean toward products that are of simple organic ingredients with as few chemicals as possible. I often come across saw palmetto is this needed? What about argan oil?
I feel like I need to give a good regime a go and maybe look to have a hair transplant later in the year. I'm 26 years old and here's some photos of what I'm working with (dry hair taken today):
I've kind of purposefully taken the photos when it looks real bad, unstyled, roughed up to stand up and dry etc
Happy new year and thank you in advance
