Question

What do you suggest I do yo save my hair? Because this is very noticeable and I barley wear hats and I've just started to just to cover this balding areas

William Woessner, MD · Answer

You definitely need to do some basic research into male pattern baldness. Castor oil isn't recommended as a first line of defense for hair loss. A proper medical examination by a hair restoration physician and diagnosis could help your situation. Finasteride, also known as Propecia can halt hair loss in it's tracks. Please read the link below concerning the medical treatments available today for hair loss.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

There is no good evidence that castor oil helps hair loss to any significant degree. I would advise meeting with a physician knowledgeable about hair loss to reciew treatments that are backed up by good clinical trials.

Sara Wasserbauer, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

You have a number of effective options available to you - but none of them are castor oil.  Finasteride, minoxidil, various shampoos, LLLT/PBMT (low level light), and possibly PRP are all options for you with excellent safety profiles and track records.  You also have some well-respected hair doctors in Colorado, especially in the Denver area, so seek out some excellent advice with a personal consultation now because you will thank yourself later for saving as much hair as you can now.
Good Luck!
