1st brushing in months without 100's of hairs falling out (Spironolactone, Aldactone)
well feeling slightly confident after just under 3 days worth of my shedding reduced by about 85% i decided to give what's left of my hair a hearty brushing with my wide toothed brush like i used to. No delicate baby strokes with my heart dropping and anxiety building with each handful that came out.
WELL I LOST AROUND 15 TO 20 HAIRS AND A FEW WERE BREAKAGE AND NOT FROM THE FOLLICLE.
I am trying so hard to not get my hopes up or think i've finally found my cure.
BUT THIS IS HONESTLY THE FIRST TIME SINCE MAY THAT I'VE LOST SO LITTLE HAIR.
The sense of calm and peace i've felt over the last 2 days with the decreased shedding is like nothing i can explain. I actually was the closest to my old self i've been in 5 months. I was cracking jokes to my friends on the phone and my thoughts of hairloss didnt consume me and dominate my every thought.
This topical spiro cocktail I've been using doesn't make my hair greasy or undesirable for styling like alot of topical stuff i've used. My hair actually has more volume after i apply it.
I'm not a crazy dreamer, LOL. I don't believe in miracles, but it seems whatever combo of ingredients i used seems to be perfect for my hair at the moment and actually makes it feel better.
It could be the follicle stimulator with the betha which is augmented and highly absorbed that is making my hair suddenly feel and look better because i don't see how the liquidified spiro could do that.
I've used all 3 on their own with no difference, but this cocktail really is amazing, it's a shame the ingredients are prescription because i would seriously try to bottle this and patent it if it works long term.
You would think that the powdered spiro in the mix would dry pasty or white on my head but it doesnt. just that slight skunky smell and i think i may have fixed that too. At my last application after it dried i took a bit of my hair thickening spry by nioxin and a bit of pantene leave in conditioner(havent used this sice may, hair too thin) a sprayed a quick mist on my head and now i dont smell the skunky odor. as long as the results don't change i think i'll keep doing this.
I'm going to dye my hair later tonight. I switched to all natural no chemical dyes back in march when i noticed a slight thinning and it didnt seem to help any so i went back to my Nice-n-easy but i leave it on for less time and go longer between dye jobs.
This will be the true test as I always lose more hair in the shower and comb out after i color. i want to see if it's the normal loss i always got when dyeing or if its like every shower where i lose at least 200 in the shower and another 100-200 combing it after the shower. Maybe I can take my second shower in 4 months without a panic attack and tears as the handfuls of hair just keep coming.
You lose more hair during the process cause the dye exfoliates the scalp, but it also wipes out any bacteria or dht on your scalp too so if you color dont panic and think it will make it worse.
ALSO ABOUT NIOXIN....
Ladies this has worked for me in the few weeks i've been using it...i think...
I only have the shampoo, conditioner and hair thickening spray. They didn't have the treatment serum in stock.
Now, i still have the dread shed in the shower when using it(minus my last shower while using topical spiro)...BUT...even before i use the spray my hair feels thicker and has more volume after the shower...amazing since ive lost hundreds of hairs in the process.
I've lost a ton of hair last 3 weeks and my hair only seems slighty thinner when in all honesty i think it should look worse.
It leaves my hair feeling like hay if i don't mix a dollup of pantene conditioner with it. My hair feels soft when i do that.
Some people say nioxin actually makes u lose hair...not sure about that but i'm curious.
I've read that Nizoril actually can remove 98% of scalp dht?
i think i'll give that a try too
It is fri Aug 08 2008.
My new regimen will be:
Topical spiro mixed with betha and follicle stimulator/Oral spiro/ nu-hair vitamins regrowth for women and DHT blocker/ hair shaft thickener for men and women/ Nioxin and nizoril rotated.
I'll hold off on Rogaine and the topical progesterone for now and report my results with regular updates along with info from my doctor and any test results.
Any suggestions or ideas or success stories are welcome and i'd love to hear them
