Love it or leave it: perimenopause/menopause hair loss edition 🙃

Here are some of the most common hair regrowth “hacks” you guys ask about with Kaylyn's opinions👇🏻

❌ Biotin: Biotin is a great for hair growth, but it doesn’t address the underlying hormonal issues causing hair loss during perimenopause.

✅ 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)

✅ 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)

⚠️ 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 won’t be very effective.

⚠️ Spironolactone: This is fine for hormonal acne & water retention, but it wouldn’t be my first choice for hair growth specifically. (Although it does work)

✅ 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.

❌ Finasteride: Finasteride is the pharmaceutical version of Saw Palmetto. (It does work though.)

⚠️ 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?! 🤔
