A user shared their experience with a homemade essentialoilsshampoo for hair loss after stopping finasteride due to side effects. They reported healthier, shinier hair and new body hair growth but no scalp regrowth yet.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments like topical finasteride with minoxidil, oral dutasteride, and essentialoils. Oral treatments like dutasteride and finasteride are seen as more effective, though some prefer topicals to avoid side effects.
The conversation is about someone using minoxidil, low-dose aspirin, and LLLT for hair loss, finding microneedling painful, considering topical finasteride, and feeling frustrated enough to think about shaving their head. They are inquiring about the effectiveness of combining oils like peppermint, rosemary, and castor for hair loss treatment.
Using regular Head & Shoulders shampoo stopped hair shedding and itchiness, unlike natural shampoos and oils. Minoxidil and finasteride were also used but didn't stop the shedding.
The conclusion of the conversation is that the user has experienced significant hair regrowth using a mixture of oils, including rosemary essential oil, peppermint essential oil, and carrier oils like castor oil or jojoba oil. The user also clarifies that both pictures were taken with damp hair.
