At my wits end
I am at wits end with my hair growth journey. I have fine thin hair. I always had thick head of hair growing up, that is until i shifted to another country for college & started using hair straighteners. I slowly started losing hair density & now it’s less than half of what it used to be. I started topical minoxidil 5% since november 2025 & i must say it has helped fill in my edges.
I used to use twice a day but it started breaking me out so bad that i switched to just once a day. I also started using Abbey yung method, which helped to an extent. I feel her method is a lot for my hair & it’s not used to it. So i simplified it.
I just got my blood work done yest, Vit D & B12. As suspected Vit D is very low. Less than 16 ng/ml. B12 is at 283 pg/ml. Ferritin & tsh results come in shortly.
I still feel my hair sheds a lot when i wash it, specially when using nizoral or clarifying shampoo.
Past few days i have been feeling like nothing is working & even if all this minoxidil is worth it. I started using mary ruth hair growth max today. I dont know if it’s because of me being close to period or using pantene clarifying shampoo but seeing today’s hair fall jst made me want to break down. Attaching an image below of today’s hairfall. Normally without clarifying shampoo or nizoral it’s almost half the hair fall i get than when using it.
Any advice on how i can reduce the hairfall.
