Asked By:bornbrit in Anaheim, CA

I was never a drinker until I lost my job. For 4 months I was drinking heavily and I noticed I lost a lot of hear. I quit drinking all together, am taking Zinc and Iron suppliments, using the laser cap and Rogain as well as Niacin and Biotin. Can I reverse the damage Ive done?

Answer: You won't be able to tell if your hair loss is permanent. Only way is to wait to see if the hairs grow back.
