*Hair started thinning last year on crown. The bald spot was about a penny size and got worse over time* I went to my doctor and he recommended Minoxidil 5% and finasteride. I'm Scared to use finasteride because of the side effects. I just started using minoxidil but would like to know of more treatments/advice/ tips before I go on any further in treating my hair thinning. (My diet isn't the best and I've also been stressed, maybe that's why my hair is thinning?) Any advice/tips, helps. Thank you!
Answer: Understanding Hair loss and hair loss treatment options: hair transplant, prp and progesterone This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Addressing Hair Thinning and Balding- Hair Transplantation For Young Black Patients The most dependable way to restore growth is through hair transplant surgery. This is possible for younger patients with the right diagnostic to determine the extent of baldness they will experience and whether they will have enough donor hair for long term coverage in the years to come. With continued hair loss, more than one procedure will likely be necessary. Individuals of African descent will require specialized extraction tools that are designed for their curved hair follicle shape and the thickness of their scalp tissue. This is extremely important for avoiding graft damage and ensuring reliable growth. More information is provided in this article by the Dr.U Hair Clinic.

Answer: The Best Solution for Hair Loss Hi!While minoxidil works for some, the problem with the medicine is that it does not stop hair loss, and the DHT will continue is binding to the hair shaft which will eventually overtake any additional growth caused by the Minoxidil and die, perhaps just slightly later than it would have without the medicine.The best thing to do would be to see a doctor who specializes in hair regrowth and the rebalancing of body biochemistry who can diagnose the cause of your hair loss.
