Yo, this scope is soooo hard to get through. She keeps interrupting herself to beg for hearts. Chick, stop detouring and answer the freaking question. She was about to answer a question about JBCO and got two sentences into it and then started demanding hearts. Jeez!!
@Karribean_Kurls - were you having a consultation for a hair transplant? I see the hair line penciled in, which is usually what HT surgeons do.My mom has alopecia and grandmother temple area. The picture below is what is starting to happen to me but not as advanced. I can't allow this. So if I find something that works or invent something that works you guys will know.
Thank you for sharing. She makes CCCA seem almost insurmountable. I'd like to think I won't have to use Rogaine for the rest of my life. While I know that treatment will never stop (especially if we're looking to regrow hair) I have to think that there are more natural remedies. I wonder if she's researching the role of diet, proper hydration, scalp cleansing, and natural topical aids in halting scarring alopecia and promoting regrowth in areas that have yet to scar. Also have they researched how to remove scar tissue from the follicle so it can once again be viable?@cheetarah1980, she did a speech on CCCA at a conference today. She's not begging for hearts in this presentation.

So sorry to hear this but one derm told me it is treatable. Don't give up hope. I have traction alopecia and I'm getting a transplant.
I’m back in this thread again... I have some matcha tea powder. It’s not the best though.. I’m mad! I spent 18 bucks on it! Lol
Have you used the Rogaine?
Using Rogaine now. It helps a bit. At my last trichologist appointment the six month update pictures showed good progress. My middle part in front seems to be widening but I'm doing what I can to slow that down and potentially reverse it. It's an everyday struggle.
@shortdub78 - give careful consideration to using Rogaine. From everything I've read - once you begin using it, it requires consistent long term use, otherwise hair growth will terminate and digress.
Have you considered purchasing garlic oil on your own and adding it to your existing products? Mahabhringaraj (Bhringraj) Oil is a staple for me. I add it to my Shea Butter hair pomade that I make, along with other oils, such as garlic oil.
Is it odorless? I wanted to take the supplement for cardiovascular reasons too.
Do you know what was causing the hair loss?
Are you going to maintain it short?
Yes I will maintain it short. If there is any reversal I'll consider growing it back out. I've been going through this for nearly 9 years. I've tried to treat and reverse it over the years but never stuck with a regular regimen. This year is probably the longest I've really been consistent. The first thing I did this year was to almost eliminate gluten and dairy. I did that in Jan/Feb. I'm now trying to cut out added sugar too. I've incorporated a lot more leafy green veggies and nuts and seeds into my daily diet. In fact, I'm snacking on pumpkin seeds now. Since January I've been regularly massaging my scalp for 20 minutes/day with a jojoba/avocado/rosemary/tea tree oil blend. I have been taking Biotin, Fo-ti, and MSM daily since January (I admit to a few missed days). I just got Nutrafol (for a 2nd time) a couple days ago.
Have you tried PRP therapy? I've heard it works but it's expensive and you have to keep it up long term.
I could have written this myself. As I was reading your previous message, I realized I should also maintain short hair (not boy cut short). It's easier to be consistent with shorter hair.
What is PRP therapy?
I just looked it up. I can't afford it at this time. I'm going to maintain my close haircut. It looks like I'll need cuts every two weeks, because it's already growing back and it's super patchy. I'm just learning to live with it and not feel bad. Female hair loss is super common and I have nothing to be ashamed of. I'll continue with my nutrition, vitamins, oils and massages. If nothing else, they at least help create a relaxing night time routine.
