DONT to rogaine the hair that’s grown from it will fall out as soon as you stop using it!! That’s bc it’s designed for men with male patterned baldness so they will be using it their whole lives… I use amla oil I swear by it as a girl who’s tried a million diff hair growth oils. My hair no exaggeration grew like 10 inches in 9 months

Biotin, Rogaine (does cause a dread shed initially) , scalp massage / micro needling, oiling, and improved health habits are all options I’ve suffered from trichotillomania and biotin is what I used at the time to speed up hair growth for my thinner patches along with reducing the the amount I covered my hair because I was told “letting it breathe” was important for growth idk the validity on that one

Amla oil has been my holy grail in a bottle with rosewater! You can also look into minoxidil if you think it needs more assistance

read this manual on how to heal from iron deficiency. if you’re a menstruating women it’s crucial! most recommended supplements for iron deficiency actually make it worse.

These comments suck. Rogaine/minoxidil is the only substance proven to work for hair regrowth and it takes a very long time to work. Getting your hormones checked and having a good diet slows future loss. Every other substance is either too mild to matter or a total placebo

I’ve heard some people recommend rosemary oil and massaging. What do you use specifically for biotin?

I took it as a supplement it’s really not something that beneficial in a topical form but be warned some people site it as causing break out - I personally never saw it cause any noticeable difference in my skin but everyone is different and it can be hard on some people’s stomachs

Do you have a recommendation of a method of diluting it?

2-3% dilution! meaning like 2-3 drops of rosemary per teaspoon of a carrier oil (coconut, almond, jojoba). make sure you patch test beforehand in case ur allergic or anything!!! i also sometimes lowkey just boil rosemary stems (and a bunch of other stuff but thats optional) in water and then let it cool before putting it in a spray bottle and then i spray daily 🫡

I’ve been considering using a vitamin with biotin in it for hair and nail health! Oooh ok the rogaine is kinda scary 😰

yesyes the daily supps are good!! and well think about it as a medicine lol like if you have hypertension, you typically have to take meds to keep it level for the rest of your life and if you don’t, you will continue to have hypertension. it’s kinda similar!!!

Oooo that sounds like such a good idea to mix them!! Also if I’m not mistaken aren’t rogaine and minoxidil the same thing?

#5 is right. get the root cause of the thinning taken care of and then use minoxidil. it’s the only thing that’ll work. but it won’t work if you don’t get your deficiencies taken care of. ferritin should be 100-125
