I can remember being in the 11th grade and my chemistry teacher, while walking around the classroom, stopped by my desk and asked me, “James are you losing your hair?” The entire class heard it and looked at me. I was so mortified. I could feel the emotional turmoil pulsating through my body. That event pretty much marked my official entrance into the world of the hair loss sufferor. Hair loss has really affected my life and it is, to this day, a constant struggle. I hope to some day find some type of solution for my hair loss, whether it be hair transplantation or a new drug that comes out.
As for right now, my regimen consists of the Hairmax Lasercomb, Flax Lignans, Beta Sis, and Green Tea. I use the laser comb usually every other day. I have been very impressed with the laser comb. This thing has grown more hair on my hairline than anything else I have ever used. As for the naturals that I am taking, I have no idea if they are having any effect on my hair. The reason why I am taking them is because I had to stop Propecia due to side effects (gyno). I did notice that my shedding has dramatically been reduced since starting with the naturals about 3 months ago which might mean they are having some effect on my hair.
I have almost completely stopped smoking cigarettes which may have also influence the reduction in shedding. I go days without smoking, but sometimes have one with one of my friends and I need to stop doing that. Even though I have grown some hairs with the Lasercomb and reduced my shedding, my hair looks pretty bad. It is really receeded and thinning all over. I may someday soon started looking into transplants again (I almost got one about a year ago). Maybe this natural regimen will do me some good, I will have to wait and see.
Hey James,
That first moment when you realize that other people are noticing your hair loss really bites the big one.
I still remember mine very vividly.
Your chem teacher sounds like a really insensitive person. What a jerk.
I like your existing regimen and yeah, definitely transplants may be an option for you at some point.
As for the regimen, I have started drinking a type of tea called Yerbe Matte, which is supposed to be even more nutrient rich than green tea. Don’t know if it will do anything at all for hair loss, but hey, it tastes good. You should check it out.
Cheers,
Sam
Hey James,
Grade 11…wow that really must have sucked. Chem teachers always seemed to do very wierd things. Well it seems that you are now doing some great things to keep what you have and are already a valuable morphollica memeber. I have been working with Sam for the past few months and we are very excited of all the new developments. Keep up the good work.
All the best,
McKay
