One of those videos where the comments are more useful than the video. 😂

1. Ketoconazole shampoo (minor effect).
2. Topical Minoxidil. doesn’t prevent further follicle shrinkage but helps with some regrowth. Oral minoxidil more effective, but has nasty side effects.
3. Micro needling. Can help topical minoxidil absorption for non-responders. 0.6 mm may be as effective as 1.5mm needles with less bleeding.
4 & 5: finasteride / dutasteride.

Yes OMG! Something similar happened to me years ago. I scraped the top of my head really badly on the corner of a metal door, and where that skin got scraped off within like three or four days, I had thick, very very thick spot of hair that grew back that was completely different than the rest of my hair. It looked like the hair that I had when I was in my teens. It stayed that way for a month or two, maybe longer, and then eventually the hairs started miniaturizing and went back to what I have now.. I asked my doctor about it and he looked at me like I was nuts, but I know what I had because I was walking around with a thick dark patch of hair that didn’t match the rest of the hair on my head.

I started losing my hair in my early 40s and it hit me harder than I expected. I tried hiding it with different hairstyles, expensive shampoos, even changed my diet. Nothing really helped- in fact, the more I stressed about it, the worse it seemed to get. One day, I was venting to a coworker and he mentioned red light therapy. I thought it was one of those Instagram fads, but he showed me the one he used- a helmet from a brand called Narlest. I figured I’d try it since I’d already wasted money on so many other things. Fast forward 9 months, and I’m not even joking- my hair is thicker, my scalp isn’t irritated anymore, and the receding patches aren’t noticeable like they used to be. I don’t even wear hats as much anymore. This thing actually changed how I feel about myself.

Dude has quite a memory to be able to spout out all that info. Impressive.

Yeah, honestly, I prefer to lose my hair if the alternative will screw with my blood pressure or brain, thank you.

I have suffered hair loss as a male. Rogain slowed it down but didn't stop it. Decided to talk to an HT surgeon in my area. He recommended that I take finasteride for a year and stabilize my hair loss. Once that was done, my hair loss basically stopped. I then had the hair transplant. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I still take finasteride and use Rogaine every day with zero symptoms. This clip had good info.

I bought a micro needle pen and have been doing that once a week with topical min daily (once). I tried min by itself and did not see any improvement. But with the pen, I saw significant growth on my hairline. Been doing it less than 5 months. That combo has been great for me. I also, started taking care of myself better. Eating healthy, exercising taking my vitamins/minerals which also helps.

Hairloss can occur due to many reasons. In this video only androgenic alopecia is really adressed.
Edit: Also consequently for some people surpressing scalp dht wont solve their hairloss if its due to inflammation, lack of nutrition or other reasons.

the black box warning for oral minox is for the blood pressure indication and at much higher doses. At a lower dose, it's shown to be quite safe.

Great list, but prp injections should be on it.  Relatively cheap, no down time or side affects.  Also helps with wrinkles

Was she even listening 😂😂😂😂

This guy although not a physician or dermatologist actually still knows his stuff. I think he stays true to the research and available evidence.

A quality Saw Palmetto is said to lower dht by 30-40%

Finasteride is the best drug out there for hair loss. The trick is....Finding the right dose for YOU. 1mg is usually WAAY too much every day for most people. Microdosing is the way unless you have very aggressive hair loss.

thankyouuu. Can you make a video on natural oils and herbal remedies effect on hair growth and DHT blocking

Wait, Derek is the hair loss expert? Excited to hear which of the treatments is efficacious af.

Derek IS THE MAN!!!!   The BB world owes this guy 1000s of hours of time/research.   Dude got his YouTube channel taken down years ago...NBD, got back on it and grew it 100x.   So stocked to see him get the recognition he deserves.    #Intercomcrew

I used minoxidil. It works... however, it does stain all your hats and pillowcases yellow. And it did make me dizzy.

I was taking more than the recommended dose to be clear. But Full-on, I was standing and almost fell over, especially after something like climbing stairs. I immediately quit right after that happened and it stopped.
