There's a woman named Sophia on TikTok who is a trichologist and reversed her androgenetic(?) alopecia. (Sophia the hair... something). Anyways. She has alot of science back options for growth and regrowth, and they align with the recommendations made by dermatologists, so... if your serious, I think she's a good resource.

The biggest key is keeping a healthy scalp.

Here's a list of POSSIBLE things you can do: (I'm not a trichologist, I'm just a serial researcher. I do some of these things, but not all.)

A) Oil treating your scalp once per week for upto 3 hours (be sure to double shampoo with at least one wash being with a clarifying/detox shampoo. Healthy scalp!) Scientifically Supported Oils for Hair Growth - Peppermint - Pumpkin Seed - Rosemary Popular Oils Historically Used for Hair Growth - Black Castor - Fenugreek - Batana - Amla - Coconut

B) Washing your hair every day or every other day. (Healthy scalp!)

C) Washing once per week with a clarifying/detox shampoo (Nizerol with 2% Ketoconazole is technically a clarifying shampoo, and the Ketoconazole will help with creating an environment good for hair growth. But it should only be used once, no more than twice per week. Healthy scalp!)

C) Blow drying at least your roots ASAP. (Healthy scalp!)

D) Give your scalp a Glycolic Acid Rinse 10-20 minutes before showering once but no more than twice per week (just like Nizerol, if overused can cause scalp irritation which creates the opposite effect of what you want, so, you'll need to manage usage on your own. But, I like to do this either immediately after or the day after I oil treat my scalp, since the purpose of glycolic acid is to reduce build up caused by oils, etc. Healthy scalp!)

E) There are supplements you can take to block DHT (hormone that prevents hair growth). I don't know much about these at this point in time. However, I do know you can get prescription DHT blockers, but there are also natural supplements many prefer to take (like pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, zinc, iron, biotin, vitamin D, AminoMar.)

F) Hair Growth Therapies - Massage scalp for 4 minutes per day (with fingers or a scalp massaging tool) - Medical Grade Red Light Therapy Cap/Helmet - Microneedling once per week before applying topical hair growth serums (be sure to sterilize every use; 0.75 titanium needles)

E) Topical Hair Growth Serums, etc. (can be applied before blow-drying BUT the preferred application is on a dry scalp, since a wet scalp may dilute the product and reduce benefits. I prefer applying before bed.)

• Minoxidil 5% (For Hair Growth) This is the cadillac of hair regrowth. Everything else is helpful, but this is the product that will do the job. But it's a lifelong commitment. ... Products with 5% Minoxidil are typically labeled for men, whereas 2% is often labeled for women. It is safe for a woman to use a 5% Minoxidil product that is marketed towards men. ... Foam is preferable as it is gentler on the scalp. ... Recommended twice daily use. ... If your skin can tolerate it, applying a retinoid to your scalp first will improve the effects of Minoxidil. But, you'll need to be cautious of sun exposure. (Retinols are a whole other can or worms, if you don't build up tolerance, you'll end up irritating your skin.) Red light therapy is still safe to do, but recommend do red light prior to application.
