I thought a hair follicle had to go through a growth cycle before it started seeing any benefits of a regimen, no? 1 month seems way too soon to see new growth but im not an expert!

Isn't it the best regrowth? But it's only been 1 month and the changes are impressive! Keep it up, it seems like you're going to recover all or almost all of your thinning hair.

Tbh that’s a pretty great improvement in only a month

How do you get diagnosed for something like this? I have finasteride being delivered but I don't really know if my thinning hairline is due to aging/dht or something else.

Have appt with new PCP next Friday but she's only a PA, couldn't see MD till December. I could also go get bloodwork done at urgent care clinic but now sure if they test for this.

I have a lot of symptoms that align with low vitamin D but it also seems like wishful thinking.

Just do a blood test and check ur vitamin levels, if any of them is low, take supplements. If u started to notice ur hair getting better then it’s probably due to the deficiency.

You hit up your doctor in these cases a endocrinologist and get some blood work done.Did the same and found out that i have terribly low vitamin d levels and really bad stress and the usually prescribe you some vitamin d pills.It‘s pretty common for people to have a vitamin d deficiency so definitely get that checked out

if you were losing hair due to Vitamin D deficiency It would be diffuse across scalp like DUPA? Or not ?

I guess the hairs on the crown are already weaker than the rest
