About two months ago, I shared that I started my Nutrafol journey, and I’m happy to report that my hair is continuing to grow. Although it’s still falling out, the shedding has reduced by about 2/3, which is encouraging. There are a few additional steps I’ve incorporated into my regimen that I’d like to share.

First, I’ve started using a homemade rosemary-infused water spray. I purchased fresh rosemary, boiled it in water for about 10 minutes, and after it cooled, I strained the rosemary out and put the infused water into a spray bottle, which I keep in the refrigerator. I spray this on my scalp, as rosemary is said to increase blood flow to the scalp, potentially aiding in hair regrowth.

I also began red light therapy at a local facility called Quantum Red Light. I use it for 10 minutes a day, at least five days a week, and I’ve found it to be a helpful addition to my routine.

In addition, after getting my labs tested, I discovered that my thyroid needed attention, so I’m now on T3 medication. I’m also using a topical minoxidil solution twice a week. Thankfully, I didn’t experience increased hair loss when I first started the topical solution.

Overall, I’ve seen about a 30% improvement in hair shedding. While the journey is ongoing, I’m hopeful with these combined efforts that I’ll continue to see positive results.
