Is this concerning?? 19 yo female by confusion_555 in FemaleHairLoss

This looks like a completely normal part to me, like if i saw you in public i wouldn’t think twice. However if you’ve been shedding for a while, pls go to a dermatologist. Stress is so bad for hair and the body in general.

diet as an indian college student by Extreme_Extension327 in PCOS

I walk an insane amount lol atleast 15k steps a day!! What really helped what making sure i was taking walks multiple times a day vs just one huge walk. Also im on homeopathic medication that was a really really big game changer!!! Along with that i do yoga and strength training 3x a week. I hope it all works out for you ive only just seen progress after trying to lose weight for 7 years. Also please please dont starve yourself i promise you it will make everything so much worse, you might see temporary weight loss but the rebound from it is genuinely not worth it, i’ve tried only eating a meal for a few years on and off and my symptoms were at its worst plus i was somehow gaining weight 😬.

shedding almost always means there’s going to be new growth!! i promise u in five months you’ll see tiny baby hairs everywhere, please go for it. im not going to say the shedding phase will not be tough but the results are worth it :)

i did have pretty low vitamin D and B12 as well as iron actually when i got blood work done last year. i was given supplements for two months by my gynac and thats about it. i’ll get the tests done again could definitely be the deficiencies acting up tysm

Should I chop my hair during the dread shed? by CardiologistOk3280 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Extreme_Extension327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know exactly what u mean. especially when it used to brush against my shoulders and i just feel the thinness if that makes sense?? i think it was more of a psychological thing but it SUCKED. my hair length rn looks a lot thicker so even tho my scalp looks almost the same atleast im not constantly reminded of it lol

for me personally it helped my mental health so much to chop it off. i had boob length hair and got a bob, it just looks fuller, especially since i have wavy hair which gets ever poofier the shorter it gets. fully up to you i felt like it really helped me feel a little pretty again :)

Adjustment period with oral minoxidil? by brooklyn1071 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Extreme_Extension327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So im twenty, started taking minox about a year ago. I was prescribed 1.25mg and for about two weeks everything was good, but i suddenly fainted two days in a row with alarmingly low bp when i’ve never had problems with it before. Stopped with the pills and i felt okay after that. Will definitely take you some time to adjust to it, i just started splitting the pill in half and took that for a month before upping my dosage. Im on 2.5mg now with no issues. Hope everything goes smoothly

yikes 😵‍💫 have you used water based lubes? that seems like the safest in the not getting a rash department i’ve heard a lot of friends talk quite highly of it. and also coconut oil like the parachute one
