Love it or leave it: perimenopause/menopause hair loss edition š
Here are some of the most common hair regrowth āhacksā you guys ask about with Kaylyn's opinionsšš» ā Biotin: Biotin is a great for hair growth, but it doesnāt address the underlying hormonal issues causing hair loss during perimenopause. ā
Saw Palmetto: LOVE! This a a super effective natural DHT blocker, so it helps with hair loss, hair thinning, hair breakage, ingrown hairs on the body, hormonal acne, and facial hair growth. (BUY HERE) ā
Minoxidil: This works even better when you pair it with Saw Palmetto. It will help your hair grown back in even faster. (You can purchase topical minoxidil OTC) ā ļø Red Light Therapy: Red light therapy is great as long as you are using a red light source with at least 600nm. Anything less than that wonāt be very effective. ā ļø Spironolactone: This is fine for hormonal acne & water retention, but it wouldnāt be my first choice for hair growth specifically. (Although it does work) ā
Pumpkin Seed Oil: This is very similar to Saw Palmetto, but I actually prefer this as a scalp/hair mask to reduce DHT at the root. ā Finasteride: Finasteride is the pharmaceutical version of Saw Palmetto. (It does work though.) ā ļø PRP (platelet-rich plasma): This treatment has many incredible benefits for skin rejuvenation & joint injuries (tendonitis, etc). It can definitely be used for hair loss, but results may vary. Let me know what we should cover next?! š¤
