I don't have much shedding, and have come to the conclusion, that it's more the quality of hair that replaces shed hair that determines if thinning is progressive. ( we don't want the miniaturization of hairs) So I am using the laser comb into 12th week, and scalp applications of raw red onion juice, saw palmetto/pumpkin seed oil, plus a diet high in phyto-estrogens such as organic edamame, pistachios, pumpkins seeds, flaxseed oil, avocado, whole grains, etc.. for protein wild salmon and tuna plus lots of beans.. and fresh organic veggies. Today I saw my beautician and she said she was impressed by the volume and sheen of my hair as compared to 8 weeks ago. I get regular trims. I also drink 2 cups of spearmint tea (loose leaves) twice a day.
