Hair changes

[Rachel_Christina]

Hey all my lovelies.
Thought I'd give y'all a lil update on my hair gains

This is a mix of HRT, Castor/Coconut oil mix, less washing (2x) a week and time.
Seeing what I managed to gain and what I have heard from others, ther is really no reason that we don't all have the potential to regain hair to some extent.
I was only missing at the corners and I don't did I loose hair, or did it just grow in a male pattern. I think the later as i think I would have noticed.

Here is a great comparison shot of the regrowth, left is the new, and right is the old.



Here is a few shots of how it looks all together




And here is two examples of how the hairline has gone, and the thickness and length in my plaits




I really believe in the oils, not just in there effects they have on their own, but in the action of putting them in and massaging the scalp to get the blood flowing, you can feel it tingling and warming. Also this also eleminated any dry skin I would have.

I hope you enjoy this, and I hope others may have as much luck as I have had.
Ps try not looking at my big nose side profile lol

Love Christine, x

Looks great Christine!  Congratulations and good tip on the Coconut oil. 

[natalie.ashlyne]

Looks great thank you I am going to try it.

[Mikaela]

What's your castor/coconut oil mix ratio?

Thanks Girls.
And Harley it's the Castor oil that is the main actor here, the coconut in this case is merely to thin out the castor as it is very thick. The coconut oil is still beneficial.
And Mikaela i do a 50/50 ratio.
It works for me anyway :')

[Rachel]

Awesome change, congratulations.

Wow Christine you look so beautiful you hair is so glossy

[Rambler]

That's so great to see! I've got significant thinning throughout offer the last few years & a hairline that has receded at least a good half inch since I was about 20, so seeing posts like this always gives me hope. I'm seeing a fair amount of new growth poking it's way up after nearly 4 months of Finasteride and just started HRT a few days ago, so time will tell how good my regrowth is. I'm going to look into adding the oils to my regimen. How often do you apply & how much of it at a time?

[Ella2Marques]

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try to use it.

> Ps try not looking at my big nose side profile lol

Ha! You should see the noses on both me and my CIS sister. Yours is nothing.

[Rachel_Christina]

Thanks all.
And Rambler, I would do it once a week, it takes quite sometime to actually do, make sure your hair is well combed through with no nots. Then apply your oils to the roots (you will have to heat the two together to melt the coconut oil down and to thin out the castor oil with the coconut oil). After roots you can do the rest of your hair and then leave it on your head for about 2 hours, i usually rub some into my eyebrows too lol
Washing out, you may need to shampoo twice, i remember having to back to the shower after my first time lol

Haha thanks Randy. I get paranoid people see it at times, when I'm dressed as a girl

Switching to EV injections (and taking oral progesterone), I found my hair became real shiny and glossy (same with skin).

[Ella2Marques]

My Dr. says oral progesterone does not do much.

[KayXo]

It's true that my hair became shiny and soft only after switching to injections so that the change was probably due to estrogen and not progesterone but some transwomen report that oral progesterone helps reduce skin dryness, makes skin softer and nails stronger.

I personally take a high dose of oral progesterone WITH food so *perhaps* your doctor hasn't seem much results because doses prescribed were lower and recommended to take on an empty stomach. It's possible...

Looking great as always.

Might even try it at some point

Hey all, just a little update on my hair situation.
It has been growing crazy but I did have to trim a few dead ends.
The hair has continued to push forward at the corners of my hairline slow and surely. This is my 14th month on HRT. I think I have been pretty lucky with this, and though my hairline was not too bad, every little helps.

Here is a good view from the side, the corners are almost gone


A close up of the babies waiting to grow longer, zoom in and you can see them really well


A close up of the quality of it now, It gets heat maybe 5 times a year.


Side shot :') looks short here


And an in general pic of how it looks like daily when I'm not working and hiding haha



I have been very lucky with my hair situation, it's unfortunate I had to cut it up 2 years ago because my boss was complaining, it would be maybe 70% longer now. Other than that I have kept a simple routine with it described in my first post.
I hope I can one day update this thread with the corners eventually fully filled in, though even as it is I am happy
I wish you all as much luck as I have had with this
Love, Rachel

[Colleen_definitely]

So did the corners fill in from the hairline out?  I'm noticing some short hairs near my existing hairline (similar to your starting point) and was wondering if I was just imagining things.

And as always, I'm still totally jealous of your hair.

[Roll]

Was your hair issue just a receding hair line on the corners, or did your regimen help at all with other hair as well? My hairline is perfect but I have typical male pattern baldness going on the crown and just generally thin hair on top (courtesy of my mother actually, so oddly doesn't bother me too much), and have been desperately trying to get some regrowth going. I've had some luck so far with the generic combo of minoxidil, finasteride(propecia dosage, not hrt dosage), and nizoral alternated with a thickening conditioner (lots of weak/near invisible hair that should in theory be the sign its working), but after reading your post and seeing your results I'm wondering if I shouldn't cut back on extra shampoo/conditioner and start using the oils for better effect. Particularly since my long term goal is longer feminine hair, not just mediocre short male hair.

[Rachel_Christina]

Yes Colleen the hair slowly filled from the hairline out.  Those small blond hairs will transform eventually.

Hey Roll, my problem was only at the front, but this hair was always missing I never remembered having it. It's like it just formed in a masculine shoe. Mwybr the fact the hair was never lost made it easier for it to be activated by the estrogen?
Small fine hairs are a sure sign something is going on though.

[josie76]

Dang Rachel, sometimes I just can't get over how pretty you are. Don't even worry about your nose, it is really cute on you.

I haven't been using oils, but since being on finasteride, I have filled in the thin area on my crown. My front corners were different. I have been using Walmart's generic Rogain. Just rub some in my corners each day twice. I now have blond fuzzy hairs starting there. Hoping they continue to grow and gain color like yours.

Keep going Rachel! You have been an inspiration to me and others that we might recover some though many of us won't be a natural beauty like you. I know I'll need a bit of bone shaving first. Lol
