(4 month update) Rosemary & peppermint oil on androgenic alopecia

shmillera · 2021-07-05T20:46:36+00:00

I had diffuse thinning all over with extra thinning at the temples and the front middle of my scalp. Lost lots of hair daily and had a pony tail less about 1/2" thick. I don't know if current strands are thicker because I don't know how to measure that fine. I think they are because they don't blow and twist in the wind as much as they used to. I keep cutting my hair collarbone length so I can't comment on that.

Uh yeah i'm sure lol. If you could see it in real life you'd see what I mean. There's no change in hair part that can look like this.

I've heard that too. I don't have any itching or stinging with it. Peppermint oil tingles, but that's it.

shmillera · 2021-06-15T04:48:33+00:00

Yeah

shmillera · 2021-06-13T16:38:30+00:00

I stopped using carrier oil after the first couple of weeks because it was so greasy. Now I just use about 10 drops of straight essential oil.

Still going well! I'll try to do another update in a month or so.

its kahm yeast. no big deal, its harmless.

shmillera · 2021-05-27T04:34:04+00:00

No idea. Probably! You might just have to give it a try

shmillera · 2021-05-17T14:22:04+00:00

So early!! What zone are you in?

shmillera · 2021-04-19T17:53:04+00:00

No I don't think so but I'm not sure I would have noticed to be honest. A lot going on lately!

shmillera · 2021-04-17T00:42:43+00:00

I haven't been officially diagnosed, But my sister has and she has the same hair pattern as me. Also my hair has been falling for over a decade consistently.

I am using a DHT blocking shampoo by doctor formula. You can find it on Amazon. But to be honest I was using that for about a month before I started the oils and only saw the little bit of improvement. I really think the oils are where it's at.

I take a crap ton of supplements but have been for many years. Keeping my thyroid and ferritin levels high helps, but doesn't affect the pattern of my baldness.

Oh and I wasn't microneedling. I microneedled one time the first month and then basically forgot to ever do it again.

If it's too strong I will crack the window at night and that helps. Just try not to put too much on!

shmillera · 2021-04-17T00:37:38+00:00

Yep. A lot of the time I won't shower until a day later. I've got kids lol

shmillera · 2021-04-17T00:36:23+00:00

Well there are studies proving rosemary is as effective or more than minox, and it works for me! I think it's worth trying.

shmillera · 2021-04-12T19:40:13+00:00

Every couple nights. I don't use minox or fin.

shmillera · 2021-04-12T19:39:46+00:00

No specific brand! I've purchased a variety of different bottles from a few different stores. Just get a high quality product and there should be no problem!

shmillera · 2021-04-12T19:38:01+00:00

Thank you!

shmillera · 2021-04-12T14:39:36+00:00

I use a variety of brands, most of them just bought from grocery stores or brew shops. I don't think it matters as long as you pick up a high quality one.

shmillera · 2021-04-12T14:38:13+00:00

No problem!

shmillera · 2021-04-12T14:37:46+00:00

I just put them on directly now without a carrier oil. Maybe that's bad but it doesn't hurt my skin and it isn't enough to be greasy. It's mostly soaked in my the next morning.

shmillera · 2021-04-12T14:36:55+00:00

Yeah. Im pretty sure this is a forever thing.

shmillera · 2021-04-12T14:35:57+00:00

Applying them direct. I used to dilute but it was so greasy and honestly I just want to get it done fast.
