Hi fellow fighters of hair loss.
Apologies in advance for the long-winded post. I've been doing this alone for a year now and I've faced so many setbacks, and I just need to get it off my chest to a group of people who actually GET IT.
I've been on minoxidil + finasteride + microneedling for a little over a year now and I've generally had fantastic results at getting regrowth. But every time I get good results, it all begins shedding back out. I've had this happen THREE TIMES now. Every time it gets to a point where I actually feel good about it, all of my hair starts falling out again and I start from scratch. I've made a few mistakes along the way (changing my regimen caused the first shed, changing my brand of minoxidil caused the second shed) but this time I can't really point towards any mistakes.
I've put in so much time, effort, and money for such limited results. It's starting not to feel worth the investment. I swore to myself that if I had another major shed, I'd look into getting a hairpiece.
A lot of people have been telling me to bite the bullet and just shave it all off—and maybe I will someday—but right now, I JUST WANT HAIR. After all the patience and effort I've put in, I think I owe it to myself to at least TRY a hair system. We'll see how it goes.
I guess that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
