    Mechanical damage refers to the physical harm caused to hair fibers due to external forces such as brushing, combing, or styling with heat tools. This type of damage can lead to split ends, breakage, and a rough hair texture. For professionals, understanding mechanical damage is crucial for advising clients on proper hair care techniques to minimize harm and maintain hair health.

      community I am actually regrowing my hairline without minoxidil or finasteride (mechanical stimulation)

      Regrowing hairline without the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride, and instead using mechanical stimulation such as Derma Roller, Nizoral, Zinc Pyrithione, Scalp Massage, Scalp Exercise, Fish Oil and other topical solutions. It is cautioned that there are risks associated with not using medically-prescribed treatments, but it is suggested to consider mechanical stimulation in addition to those prescribed treatments.
