I wore clip on hair ext for 5 yrs, gave them up 1 1/2 years ago after discovering traction alopecia. My hair has recovered approx 65% but I still have 11 wide part lines where I clipped them in daily. I saw 2 Derms 1 1/2 years ago that said I have no scarring and rec'd Rogaine, Biosil, Biotin, protein, daily sclp massage. I was afraid of Rogaine 'shed' but did the rest and saw major improvement. But 11 wide parts remain. At this point, will I see any more regrowth? Is Rogaine still an option?
