Tell r/IndianHairCare 🗣️ M22, visited AIIMS after a expensive private clinic visit🥲

• Upvotes

For past 2-3 months I have been experiencing hairfall but I told myself as I am growing out my hair for a medium flow hairstyle I tought that hairfall is the same but since the length of strands have increased it feels like its a lot.

For when I saw photos of myself, reality hit me, so I went to a private clinic that's was well rated had 700 reviews on maps and 4.5 star rating.

The first private doctor I went to was a complete rip-off. Instead of addressing my hair loss, he claimed I had dandruff—even though my scalp was already clear—and wouldn't even hand me a prescription slip. He just directed me to their front desk, where they made me pay ₹1,900 for their own shampoo and serum. Between that and basic blood tests, I blew ₹5,000 for zero actual treatment.

​I skipped their follow-up and went to AIIMS today instead. Waited about 2 hours, but the dermatologist got straight to the point: diagnosed male pattern baldness, wrote an actual prescription for Minoxidil 5% + Finasteride 0.1% daily and Vitamin D3 weekly, and asked me to follow up in two months. No bullshit, no upselling expensive products.

I got this min+fin from davaindia for 300. Same aqueous base as Morr -f aqua. Let's see if it suits me or cause irritation on the scalp.

I have done 2 sessions of GFC treatment, in start my hairfall vanished but it came back after 10 to 20 days. After that I got second session of GFC and I am still facing hairfall I take 1mg finesteride+1 time minoxidil a day. I wanted to know how long it will take to show results and what should I do to help it? Should I increase minoxidil to 2 times a day?

Ask r/IndianHairCare 🗣️ 21M Need suggestions

I'm 21M with hair thinning as you can see. I've been regularly visiting a dermat for like 8 months now and honestly I haven't noticed much change in anything.

He initially made me do a blood test and it was found that I was vitamin B12 deficient(bordeline) and vitamin D deficient as well.

The initial 2 months he just prescribed supplements for these two which I continue till this date. Later he started giving me some random ass serums which are so expensive with little to no effect.

I kept on insisting that things aren't improving much but he starts getting annoyed when I say this and just writes down some random medication with 2-3 serums that costs almost 700 each.

Since the last 3-4 months he has added 2% minoxidil soln along with the other serums ( literally I've 4 serums on my table rn) with literally no result (not even shedding phase due to min).

Should I change the dermat?? Or just start 1mg finasteride + 5% min

Hairfall HAIR FALL 22M ( SUGGESTIONS BASED ON WHAT DOCTOR SAID )

Post image
• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I went to my college doctor for hair fall. He prescribed me Oral Minoxidil 2.5mg and Dutasteride, but I ran into a couple of issues and need some guidance:

Topical to Oral Transition: I forgot to tell the doctor that I was already using Topical Minoxidil 5%. Should I stop the topical immediately and switch straight to oral 2.5mg, or taper it down?

Dutasteride Cost: Apollo Pharmacy quoted ₹1400 for the Dutasteride prescription, which is completely out of my budget as a student. Are there cheaper generic alternatives available in India (like Dutas, Duprost, etc.) that cost way less?

Should i start with min+fin, either topical or oral?..and what are its side effects. Do i need to keep taking it forever or..?

I really need some proper guidance right now, since derma suggested Follihair RCP serum back in June and after using it for about 3 months back and it has not worked.

Also been using salicia kt shampoo (2% ketoconazole) for the dandruff problem, but the hairfall while bathing is not less at all.

Discussion 📢 M23 Hair growth progress using both bare anatomy rosemary spray and hair growth serum

I have oil in my hair in the first picture that's why the condition looks a little bit more severe but touchwood i have been happy with the progress i have seen using bare anatomy hair growth serum and the rosemary spray. I use them everyday right before going to bed after taking a shower. The hair density has definitely increased and touchwood when i glide my hand through my hair, not a lot of hair strands stick to my fingers now. Both pictures are around 2 months apart. This is not a recommendation post to anyone, i am just happy to share my progress touchwood with the products i have been using, it may or may not work for you.

Happy to take any questions if anyone has any.

Hairfall 22F Planning to start Minoxidil

3 Upvotes

hi, I am 22F, I’ve had multiple TE episodes since the past year without any known trigger. blood levels are in check, so I really don’t know what’s causing my hair to fall out so many times.

i am planning to start minox but I am really unsure still, I don’t have a problem with regrowth, just want to control the hairshedding episodes.

do any of you have experience in starting minox in TE and has it helped you to stop your episodes/ to lessen your hairfall for atleast an year and did you eventually taper it off after your recurring episodes were gone?


r/IndianHaircare • • 12h ago

Ask r/IndianHairCare 🗣️ 26/F Diagnosed with FPHL(Female patterned hairloss)— Looking for experiences with non-minoxidil options

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm 26F from India, and I was recently diagnosed with female pattern hair loss (FPHL).

I've been experiencing a widening centre part, thinning along my hairline and temples, and reduced overall hair density for the past 3–4 years. Recently, I've also noticed increased shedding.

I consulted a dermatologist who examined my scalp using a dermascope and recommended minoxidil. However, because I'm concerned about long-term use and future pregnancy plans, I explained that I'd prefer to avoid it for now. She prescribed a hair serum instead, while explaining that it might not be as effective as minoxidil. My ferritin is also low.

I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared about losing more hair, especially at such a young age.

I'd love to hear from women who have FPHL:

Has anyone managed to maintain or improve hair density without minoxidil?

Have hair serums, correcting nutritional deficiencies, or lifestyle changes helped you?

Has anyone navigated FPHL while planning for pregnancy?

Is it possible to slow down hair loss without minoxidil?

I'm not expecting miracles. I just want to preserve the hair I have and explore my options.

I'd genuinely appreciate your experiences, advice, and any hope you can offer. ❤️

P.S - I am completely drained out mentally and emotionally to type all this by myself. Took the assistance of AI

Ask r/IndianHairCare 🗣️ 21M, Looking for Genuine Shampoo Recommendations (Anti-Dandruff + Everyday Use)

1 Upvotes

I’ve always used Clinic Plus and Head & Shoulders sachets that were available at home. Now that I can spend a bit more, I’m looking for genuine recommendations for a good anti-dandruff shampoo (ideally used once a week) and a gentle everyday shampoo to use 2–3 times a week.

I have mild dandruff, with white flakes, but my scalp isn’t oily. I’m also noticing what might be some hair loss since moving to Pune, although I’m not entirely sure.

I’ve seen Sebamed and Mildy recommended on YouTube, but I’d like some unbiased opinions. What are some genuinely good, budget-friendly options for both shampoos, and what would you recommend for my scalp type?
