When you perform these things, it will help reduce hair fall, like it helped me. Keep your scalp clean by cleansing it frequently. Use a gentle shampoo. Make certain to get sufficient sleep every night. Wash your hair 2-3 times each week with liiitlleextra cooconion shampoo. Apply the oil to your scalp 2-3 times a week. After cleansing your hair, lightly pat it dry with some soft towel.

@Simran_Rao914 Месяц назад

Started using coconiion shampoo and the reactiivate serum recently. I could be imagining it, but my hair appears a bit more voluminous and looks healthier overall. I guess time will show the results.

For those struggling with hair thinning, I recommend looking into derma rolling or derma stamping as well. There’s been a lot of good feedback on this method.

Hey, I want to share how Jesus Christ can improve and save your life! In the beginning, God designed us to live according to his perfect standard, free from sin, but because mankind sinned, we now live in an imperfect world. The punishment for that sin is death or Hell. Because not one of us lives free of sin, we need a savior to save us from eternal punishment. God gave us this Savior in Jesus Christ. God sent us his son to live a perfect life, free of sin, to be a sinless sacrifice for us. Living a life as 100% man but also 100% God, Jesus died on the cross and rose again three days later, paying the debt for our sins. Now the Bible says in Romans 10:9, “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” So if we confess with our mouths Jesus is the son of God, truly believe that God raised him from the dead, then repent of our sins and live for God, we will be saved! God Bless you man!

Finasteride fucked up my kidneys. I lost 60% of my kidney function (eGFR) and specialists confirmed that it was caused by finasteride. Dutasteride is even worse. I will live a lot less long because I was so vain that I wanted to keep my hair. And I didn't realize that fina and duta were so devastating on the body when taken long.

@GillRapz Год назад

Yeah and sad thing is that all the influencers will use the one bad study on DHT and rugby players and say it doesn't scientifically cause hair loss. This is because they want you to keep buying supplements through their "promo codes". The supplement companies also only fund hundred of biased studies on the "most studied supplement" and can't even fund one study to "prove" that creatine doesn't cause hair loss. Theres a massive amount of evidence online, this is once instance where and enormous amount of anecdotal evidence Massively outweighs any scientific evidence available. Obviously, this hair loss only occurs if you have the male pattern baldness gene, otherwise you are chillin. @@kristiant9615

@Gaz12345 Год назад

The problem with male pattern baldness once it gets going the only way to really reduce it is to lower androgens but then that means lowered sex drive, energy levels and other stuff. I'm 38 and thinning a bit on the crown, not drastically but it's becoming noticeable, I'm kinda growing my hair around it so I have a bit of a comb over, now you wouldn't think I'm thinning but over time this might get harder to disguise once I have zero hair on top. Balding sucks.

@roxtar38 Год назад

Hot take that is sure to be disagreed with: Embrace nature and biology. It's one thing if your face and style are your business. If you're an average Joe graying or thinning, embrace it. There are plenty of Hollywood leading men with both at early ages. Of course, if you are losing your hair in patches due to Alopecia or something like that, take the steps you need. My advice is to man up. Buzz cuts are badass. Look at Jason Statham. George Clooney has been gray since his 30s. I have plenty of hair (albeit gray) that I got sick of styling. I've been rocking the buzz cut for 25 years. Sometimes, I'll grow out the sideburns to give it a different look, but 1) I spend zero time doing my hair, 2) I spend zero time worrying about my hair, and 3) it always looks clean and styled.

@aarush187. Год назад

Hey alex, found the video very useful but as a 16yr old, I am always insecure about losing out my hair in my 20s. All these tips were for curing thinning hair when u start to notice it right? But how can we teenagers (who can't afford minoxidil , scalp massager, any other supplement) take care of our hair in the most beneficial way? I've been doing oil massages, but any other advice apart from that?

@nikolastojanovic7440 Год назад

i recommend a couple things that i personally have been doing as a preventative even though i am not losing my hair yet. firt buy a dermastamp and use it once every 3 weeks with a 1.5mm needle. Stamp your whole scalp 2 times(your scalp should turn red by then which is good). Second get 2% ketoconazole shampoo and use it every other day with a scalp contact time of 5 minutes before rinsing. Then, you wanna get some mild DHT blocking supplements. Use 1500mg curcumin, 320mg saw palmetto, and 1000mg pumpkin seed oil. Divid these into two doses for the day. Use this protocol for as long as you could. If you dont have aggresive balding in your familu, you might find this protocol to be helpful. If you see your hair gets worse even after using this protocol, then you hop on medical therapy (I will do this to if i have to).

@aarush187. Год назад

@@nikolastojanovic7440 Hey first of all, thanks for the tips, I will surely give them a try. I've been planning to buy a derma roller instead and use it but haven't bought it yet. Also I do use 2% ketoconazole shampoo thrice a week with a clinically tested conditioner as well which contains coconut oil and argan oil so that way my scalp is hydrated as well. I also apply heated coconut oil thrice a week the night before I was it out. And I think I can say that my family has good hair genetics cuz my grand parents still have hair at the age of 85. But yeah I've been doing these as a routine for my hair. But I still am insecure w my hair 😂 I mean I do have good hair but idk why i'm always insecure when it's not styled properly.

I do not take any supplements or medicines for my hair though, cuz as a 16yr old my parents say it's not necessary 💀 cannot really convince them yet.

@EE-jn8ku Год назад

Sorry but the gummies will not do anything at all. The natural route won't do anything either. I am telling you this because I'm 18 now and wasted a year doing the "natural route" with hair vitamins and biotin. My hairline receded significantly during the time I was 17-18 and I regret not starting some form of topical finasteride to at least keep some ground. If you want to truly inhibit DHT there is no other option besides the pharmacological route with prescription medication, finasteride or dutasteride. I take finasteride and minoxidil as a pill but ideally at 18 you want to use some sort of topical formulation. I know keeps sells a formula with minoxidil and finasteride combined. If you have an id, you can ask for it after seeing a doctor virtually. Or, you can go to a dermatologist willing to prescribe finasteride pills 1mg and buy rogaine foam and apply the foam to your head twice a day.

@atharv2575 Год назад

If your hair loss really is androgenic alopecia, none of the things you mentioned will work. The only thing that is going to work is a DHT blocker like finasteride.

So Alex Am 7 days away from my birthday, I will be 20. And a have noticed that am thinning and my hair line is backing and my forehead is looking bigger. I don’t want to buy something and then regret it or use something that harms me specially the fact that I searched for some types of medicine and the side effects are crazy so what do you suggest I hope you can help me

@deathman2294 Год назад

One of the things that really affected me so negatively is my friends and family, they don’t mean it but it hurts,and it hurts deeply inside. One person said to me “ you’re bolding” this phrase got me depressed and hating my hair

@commentbabaji1732 Год назад

You need to try no other ways to find out go to dermatologist if possible if not research on your own and use finasteride most ppl actually don't face those side effects but in case if you do you can just stop taking it and you'll be fine Take steps before it's too late when you have to either go for a hair transplant or shave your head

Salve Alex, tô aqui desde a época do COD e agora tu tá me ajudando a não ficar calvo, valeu

Haha obrigado!

@AtizaJuanita Год назад

Bro made sure to make good money while going bold. This was a great opportunity to go real, but promoting crapy stuff like the laduora DUO instead of a proven cheaper alternative like a dermaroller was just bad

@EmreY25 Год назад

your hairloss region at 1:08 looks way too low to call it crown loss in my opinion, so are you sure it was thinning there or just a cowlick? Other than that, I appreciate the transparency

This is bascially a commercial. Find your information where the person isn't trying to sell you something.

I'm also in my mid 30s and recently saw more hair loss so started taking finestoride. I should have started years ago but also chickened out due to possible side effects but I've had none

@essj3334 8 месяцев назад

@@randomfellow1483 It was the best decision I made, my hair got stronger and stopped falling out. I am due a hair transplant this month so going forward I may stop using it once my new hairs grow.

@capo4ever334 Год назад

I’m so sick of the people fear mongering finasteride. It works. It works very WELL. I lost a decade of hair density because I was scared to try it because of fear mongers. I regret it wished I’d started sooner

@rj6thstreet Год назад

It’s not fear mongering. It’s telling people the truth about possible side effects. It’s not going to happen to everyone but will definitely happen to some.

@apoorvkirti9129 Год назад

Thank you for making this video Alex I'm 22 and due to bad water in my area I'm losing hair or maybe its because of stress. I visited a dermatoloist and she recommended me to use Minoxidil. I bought it but was not ready to use it due to its side effects but after seeing your video I am going to give it a try. If possible, please make a SHORTS video on how to apply minoxidl correctly. Anyways, Love your videos man. Thanks for making such amazing and helpful videos.

@FirstNameLastName-mf8fq Год назад

are you talking about topical or oral minoxidil? what side effects does topical minoxidil have?

@joetonyaashish7985 9 месяцев назад

Hi how did you conclude you are losing hair? any particular reason or cause which made you worry?

@fitmind231 Год назад

I love you honest and talk about it! I am 24 and started fin + minox, my hair grew back and i can still keep it, but my d*ck is not working like before. I need to take blue pill to have sex and its even worse than before without pill. To be honest i dont regret it because without hair i would never have sex anyway. So i am glad i took a Fin.

@joewrigley399 Год назад

Try Monday wensday Friday routine with fin you can’t be relying on viagra man. It worked for me after struggling taking fin everyday

@Ozmni11 Год назад

Hair does come back. I'm 45 and started getting thin hair when I was about 34. Since then I have been on and off caring for my hair, when I care for it it comes back. What it is is that our scalp pores clog with a wax like substance that hardens. Our hair roots are still under that clog. We have to unclog those pores to get hair to return. Why this happens I do not know. I just know that we are constantly told that the hair does not grow back. The perfect example that hair grows back is Minoxidil. It grows hair back, not 100% but it grows back, it all depends on your effort.

@skmdsayad9979 11 месяцев назад

Can you please tell how to unclog those pores?

@Ozmni11 11 месяцев назад

@@skmdsayad9979 You can get a tea tree oil shampoo. I add more tea tree oil to the bottle and it's very effective. I Make sure you get a shampoo with little ingredients. My favorite is Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Shampoo but it's hard to find. Another good one is Giovanni Tea Tree oil shampoo. At night you can do a eucalyptus oil, add a few drops to some coconut oil and lightly massage into your scalp.

Hi Alex! I've been following you for a while now and I gotta say you've alway been my favorite men's health youtuber. And I really appreciate the honesty and the no-bullshit, no lies approach you have. It's refreshing these days. Your hair looks much better already. Is your dad bald btw? And could you make a more detailed video on how you apply it, when and how much dosage wise you take? As a guy who just started the same treatments, and who learns from your videos, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! p.s. did you ever watch More Plates More Date's videos on these treatments? I watch him alot, he's super educational and informative and goes into alot of detail on the pros and cons and effectiveness of these medications. Good luck on your anti-hair-loss journey!

@thelonewolf2023 Год назад

I am 17 and I am already balding. My temples have no hair. I am not genetically prone to balding because none of my parents or grandparents are bald but I am pretty sure I am going bald since 14. A couple of years ago , a dermatologist prescribed 2% minoxidil but it didn't worked. I cried about it everyday back then . But now I am used to it. My friends even say to me to grow a fringe because they feel pity for me for having this bad hairline and thickness. What's your opinion on this ?

@Daniel-nm2qb 11 месяцев назад

I recommend that once you turn 18 to hop immediately on finasteride. It's not as scary as many make it out to be. Look up haircafe on RU-vid, he'll ease your worries. You can make a comeback my friend. I'm 18 and I'm now 6 months into treatment. Temples are coming back. Just do the best you can. Reach out to a dermatologist that will prescribe it for you. I've heard people starting treatment from 14-16 years old.

Great video, but I want to make a comment that recommending people go to Turkey to get a hair transplant is bad advice. Not saying there aren't good doctors in Turkey, but there are many bad ones as well, and it can be hard to tell the good from the bad. I work with many hair transplant doctors in the US, so I have some experience in this area, and if you make a mistake and choose the wrong doctor in Turkey the results can be disastrous. I have seen dozens of horror stories of bad hair tranplants and many people end up needing to get a second hair transplant in the US to fixed a botched on from Turkey. I would say don't be cheap with something this important.

It's interesting how many people worry about losing their hair even when they aren't. From what I've seen here, the hair loss is so negligible, no one else would ever notice it. Now I understand why my dad was so dismissive when I first told him I thought I was losing my hair. Someone always has it worse.

@jameslupkin3266 Год назад

I've been on the big three for hair loss (minoxidil, finasteride, and use a high quality ketoconazole shampoo) for about the last 7 years starting at age 21. I didn't notice how bad my hair loss was until seeing photos of myself with friends. Once I started all three, I had some noticeable recovery and it has stayed there ever since. Many of my friends either accepted early baldness or were afraid to use any prescriptions for fear of side effects. I have never met anyone that suffered from ED or lost libido due to finasteride. And even if someone does have that side effect, you can lower the dose and get the benefits without the risk of ED. I wish more men were willing to try and save their hair rather than accept baldness in their 20's. I now have typically the best styled hair in many friend groups and most wouldn't know I ever struggled with hair loss.
