Hi Everyone,
I'm 24 and started noticing my hair has coming loose in my hands around a year ago. It started just at my temples and I didn’t really think too much of it. This continued and I gradually started to notice I was developing areas where my hair looked very thin and lost volume in those areas.
I am usually very proud of my hair and quite confident however thinking that my hair is falling out is majorly affecting me. I seem to lack confidence and just don’t feel happy or myself anymore.
The hair los wasn’t too bad on the top or the crown and no one I knew could notice it at all.
However, after doing some research I decided to take action and try and prevent any further loss. I didn’t want to try the pills that block the DHT as I really didn’t want the reported side effects so thought I’d try rogaine.
I started using this late December probably around the 21st. so I guess this means I’ve been using it twice daily for around a month. Even though there wasn’t mush hairloss on the top and crown I applied it there just to be safe. I also put lots on my temples and front or my hairline.
My problem is that I have now really started to notice hair loss all over. When I have a shower I can majorly see my head and even a few weeks ago this wasn’t the case. What should I do? should I continue with the rogaine all over even though it seems to have a bad effect and made more hair fall out that wasn’t before? I have heard you get extra shedding at first but I don’t want to completely destroy my hair and speed up the loss.
My head also itches a lot. Is this a normal sign or a sign that it’s having a bad effect on me?
I am more than happy to continue putting it on twice a day and put up with the itching if it helps restore my hair in all areas but not if it’s just going to mess up my hair.
I really need some advice. Should I stick or stop with the rogaine?
Thanks every, I’d really appreciate your advice
