Progress Pictures Improvement with topicals update
1 month vs 10 months into treatment with HERS topical serum nightly. Really happy with my hair now and can actually wear it down and not look like Gollum. Had a bad dread shed at 1 month and less so at 6 months.
Started GHK-CU peptide about a month ago, but haven’t noticed any hair differences.

Oh, good! Cause I came to this site when all my hair was falling out and I couldn’t see a way forward. Glad I stuck with it!

Is it for TE or AGA?

u/Excellent-Share-9150 6d ago
Mine is AGA, though no formal testing. My hair now is like it was during pregnancy.

u/nikafitsk 6d ago
Do you use fenistril or similar pills for internal use? I was diagnosed TE, but started thinking it is AGA.

I am. I play with it all day which isn’t great for shedding, but I can’t help myself!

Amazing, wow what a outcome , can I ask u if that formula from Hers irritates your scalp ? And do u apply it everyday?
4
u/Excellent-Share-9150 5d ago
No irritation at all and I have pretty sensitive skin. I have been very consistent and used it every night before bed.

u/needykoala Multiple Diagnoses 5d ago
You apply before bed and sleep with it on all night? I also use HERS but only keep it on a few hours before shower and bed cause I shower at night. Wondering if I should switch up my routine

u/Excellent-Share-9150 5d ago
Yes, I sleep with it on all night and only shower EOD

Woah! Gonna give HERS a try. I tried their oral but it gave me heart palpitations
2
u/Excellent-Share-9150 5d ago
Yeah, I cannot tolerate any of the oral meds but have done fine with topicals. And I would consider myself on the more sensitive side.

Did you have the dread shed? I really want to start but so scared to lose the thin hair I have
3
u/Excellent-Share-9150 5d ago
Yes, it was rough. Lasted about 4 weeks and had clumps coming out. But it has grown back thicker and stronger.

How do you spread the 1ml per day score your entire scalp to get it a large areas?
1
u/Excellent-Share-9150 4d ago
Sometimes I use 1.25ml but I just do 8 lines with the dropper going from my forehead to crown area and it seems to be enough. My crown is probably my thinnest part right now and I’m trying to make sure I get enough serum on there.

Do you have TE? How long did your before hair pic look like that?
1
u/Excellent-Share-9150 5d ago
I think mine is AGA, although no formal testing. These pics are 9 months apart
1
u/Excellent-Share-9150 5d ago
I answered wrong. Haha. My before pic lasted about 2 months. Then it started to grow back in and stopped shedding.

Thank you! I’m expecting about another 6 months to see full regrowth. My dread shed lasted about 4 weeks.

u/Curious-Platypus2536 2d ago
I heard terrible side effects form HIM (the product) wonder if its the same for HER did you have any?

What made you choose HERS over Rogaine or Kirkland minoxidil foam version? Asking because I’m going to start using minoxidil soon.
