Hello, as the title says, I have vitamin D deficiency (10.22 ng/mL, below 20 ng/mL) and severe diffuse thinning. I'm talking shitty hair density all around the scalp, the top, front, back and sides. Basically, all scalp is visible. However, I still retain my Nw1 hair line from 18 years old(currently 20) or so. My father is bald but his baldness started out in a classic horse shoe pattern until Nw6-7 and that started in his mid 20s till 30s. My hair loss started by shedding 150-200 hairs every shower starting 13-14 years old which lasted for a few years(stopped at about 17-18 yrs old) leaving me with shitty density all around. Could fixing my vit D deficiency improve the situation on it's own or do I need to complement it with minoxidil/finasteride/rolling?

Dude, i don’t think it’s because of Vitamin D deficiency. I have really deficiency of it too, after i had my blood drawn about a month ago, yet my hair is still thicker than a horse’s mane. If you are worried about the deficiency, go and get some sun, whenever you find the opportunity to do so.

depends. there are several pathways that lead to hairloss, and vitamin D (though not so frequent) is one of them.
just make sure you find a way do absorbe them, cause if you have vitD def, there's a case you have issues with absorption

btw vit K and boron help alot in order to get VitD where it is supposed to be
but if its AA and it's aggressive, vit D as a stand alone wouldnt help you that much....

Before I starting taking finasteride I had blood tests done to rule out other causes for my hair loss. My results showed I was vitamin D deficient too.
I’ve taken vitamin D supplements ever since.
Can’t really tell if it helps with my hair to be honest, probably because I started finasteride around the same time so any improvement would have been down to finasteride most likely.
I wasn’t massively deficient either, and it was in the middle of winter in December when I had the tests done as well which honestly was probably the main reason I was deficient.
I still take the supplements anyway.

Its just male pattern baldness, vitamins are just a myth bro, just because you have a lower level of " vitamin D" doesnt mean you wil have negative consequences
