Hello All,
Hair History:
I have always shed hair periodically but it was so thick that I did not notice any thinness till my early 40's. I have taken minoxidil for my hairline for at least 15 years. I am now 57. I have noticed that I get periods of relief from shedding and hair grows back but less and less thick. Even though I am past menopause, I refuse to lose my hair without a fight. Been natural for 1o years but it breaks and thins so progress of growth is not substantial. I big chop every 3 years to try and get even full hair but have not been successful. My regimen for the past 4 months is Minoxidil 5%, Vivas-cal , MSM, Castor oil and I Grow laser helmet.( LOL - that's a lot of stuff). No bald spots but thinning in temples and my bang area breaks . Must admit to blow drying and flat iron 4c hair every 2 weeks. (Stopping as of today)
My next step is to try PRP with A cell injections. Consultation set for Dr. Rappaport in NJ office in May 2017. He has 3 treatments special at $1600 . Heard about him on Doctors television show . Female Caucasian doctor used him and had good results. Will keep you posted. Great to meet you all.
