A 21-year-old is using oral minoxidil, rosemary oil, saw palmetto, and pumpkin seedoil for hair regrowth but is advised to use finasteride or dutasteride for better results. The user is hesitant to use DHT blockers due to cost and is seeking advice on whether their current regimen is effective.
User "tresslessatbest" shares her experience with androgenic hair loss and treatments. She found success using men's Rogaine 5%, spironolactone, dermaroller, biotin, blackcurrantseedoil, prenatal vitamins, and Nizoral shampoo.
The user is treating hair loss with dermarolling, a laser helmet, scalp massages, and Nizoral. They stopped using minoxidil and finasteride and are considering pumpkin seedoil and sulforaphane.
Pumpkin seedoil showed a 40% increase in hair count, but its effectiveness is questioned due to other ingredients in the supplement. Users discuss its potential compared to finasteride, with some expressing skepticism and others showing interest.
