A user who is trying alternative treatments, such as mucuna pruriens dissolved in water/alcohol and a blend of jojoba oil, rosemaryoil, and peppermint oil, for hair loss. Other users have shared anecdotal evidence, discussed the potential effectiveness of certain treatments, and questioned the time sensitivity of experimenting with new treatments.
The original poster found that using rosemaryoil, peppermint oil, jojoba oil, oral castoroil, head massages, ketoconazole shampoo, omega-3 fatty acids, and a multivitamin reduced their hair loss from 150 to 50 hairs a day. Another person reported a significant drop in hair loss using a similar oilblend with additional ingredients.

The user has updated their recipe to include apple poly procyanidin B-2 4% concentration and other ingredients before topping it off with Pura d'or serum.
The user experienced positive hair regrowth using a routine of microneedling every 3 days, applying a blend of castoroil with peppermint and rosemary, bhringraj oil, and moringa oil, and using Pura D'Or DHT-blocking shampoo. They also take multivitamins and saw palmetto daily, reporting no side effects from saw palmetto.
