how do i cheer him upp?

i know Portugal’s defeat last night and Ronaldo’s retirement made millions extremely sad last night. my brothers and my man being one of them.

he says he’s not sad they lost, he’s sad because Ronaldo deserved a better ending and a better team. i don’t like seeing him so beat up but i know how much CR7 means to him.

i’m being there for him and consoling him the best i can. but what else can i do to cheer him up? i hate seeing him feel so down :(

has anyone used this? worth trying?

came across a reel of someone recommending it and read all of the reviews which seem promising.

beginning of LPP? something worse?:(

25F, scared out of my mind. going through a 6-7th month shed. current regime:
-1.25 mg OM
-5% topical minox
-25 mg spiro
-ketoconazole and caffeine shampoos alternatively
- got 3 PRPs done (in oct, nov and dec)

just noticed these scales(?) in my scalp and they have been there for quite a while but not as prominent as today.

what could it be? is this something to worry about? pictures taken today after freshly washed and air-dried scalp.

worth investing in?

hey girlies. i came across an ad for a hair serum that says diamino pyrimidine oxide is a safer alternative to minoxidil

it even claims to have exosomes in it.

wondering it its worth investing in, since it’s quite pricey. has anyone used anything similar?

should i add it to the OM/spiro stack?

i’m SUPER happy for her, and no hate, but she claims that it’s just:
- caffeine shampoo
- scalp massage
- ayurvedic herb oils
- eat more protein
- bond building products to protect lengths
- time.

i just don’t understand how one can have such a drastic change without any prescription drugs, while those of us on minoxidil are barely seeing any changes 🫠

I have been diagnosed with AGA by my doctor.

Started treatment on Oct 19,2025:
- 1.25 mg Oral minoxidil
- 5% topical minoxidil nightly
- 25mg spiro (yes i know it’s a starter dose, but the derm didn’t increase it at 3 month follow up and only wanted to go up to 2.5mg minoxidil which i refused because i have lots of facial and body hair growth as im south asian)

I started shedding 4 weeks ago
- 200-250 hair on wash days
- approx 80-100 on non wash days

today it was 130 on non wash day and majority of them are short hair or baby hair. my hair length is till my chest, so this is all new hair, i’m sure

why am i going through this shedding? it’s not slowing down, only getting worse every day. :( i’m at my wits end and i’m really confused what to do.

Ferritin is 81, so i know that’s not the problem. what could it be?
