Hello,

ive tried a lot of methods to improve my hair growth. Its no real alopiecia, its more very thin hair and less density then normal hair. So i had minoxodil, finasteride, androcur, alfatradiol, capsaicin, zinc/biotion/vitamins, hairwater/shampoo with coffeine ... estradiol on hair, progesteron on hair ... all these not changed the situation of my hair. Its thin and has no density or volume - growth was 25cm (ca. 10") in absout 3 years. I had a little regrowth in the front, but no changes of hair quality.

Are there any alternative methodes left?
What can i do? My hair makes me sad every day - after stand up, before go to bed and between ... its so bad.

Take biotin And aloe Vera

You could have a look here.

Brewers yeast is a supplement that should be readily available. In your country its called biolabor bierhefe (tip from an aquaintant).
Its available with or without zinc.
Look at the link above if you take meds for depression or have diabetes.
It was listed in wikipedia as for hair growth. Some people have reported over the half more in a few months.

You could take it for a few weeks... and you can look it up on amazon, there are ratings of other people there...

Is the rest of your nutrition healthy ?
Not too much sugar or high sugar drinks... enough fruits and vegetables... not too many artificial components...
maybe no artificial sweeteners, rather natural ones or brown sugar which is less refined...
Nutrition can make a difference... and imo not washing hair too often, or with an organic product, so not to use too many chemical components.

You could try another product for washing your hair.
There are a few different hair types. Maybe you could find one more suitable for you.

And as said, I'd prefer organic and not use it too often.
You might look what is available and/or have a look at amazon, there are ratings given there from everyday people.

But another shampoo wont change my hair structure or the follicles. I need more density and thicker hair.

It does.
Hair grows out of skin. Nourishing products there influence the follicles, as do chemical products which should not be there imo in some shampoos.
Its like a lawn.. its all interconnected.
Right nutrition... right care (not too much or too rough)... and even the cutting has an influence.

There are reports telling that cutting during different moon phases has an influence. Old knowledge, people said it helped. Some hair stylists even offer advice in this direction meanwhile.

hugs

Most of the women never cared about these all and have strong, full and thick hair. Why?
And whats wrong with my nutrition?

Well there are a lot of women who say they have thin hair...
Imo this is like a system with a few factors influencing, one of the factors could be a bottleneck.

There are many people who reported brewers yeast helped, or biotin which is an ingredient, you can look that up.
Its a combination of nutritients which could help. I have read 60% more growth by some.

And a change in shampoo should also make a difference imo.


hugs

Ive tried a minimum of 20 shamposs the last years ... everything, naturals, for fine hair, volume shampoo, with coffeine, without coffein, with that, with these - lost all in all a few thousand euros for getting better hair and nothing happend in summary. The only thing helped was Androcur with blocking testosterone - so i had regrowth on the forehead.

I personally have good experience with brewers yeast, especially in combination with zinc. Makes also nails grow.

I'd go to a shop which also sells organic products, write down a few of them and look them up.
If some of them have good reviews they might help.

You might additionally feel if they are agreeable...

As a theatre person, there is no shame in rocking a nice collection of hot wigs.

I will be adding sugar free jello to my diet. Perhaps you may want to add it too.

Someone I know tried also a combination product.
For some unknown reason it didn't work as good as pure brewers yeast with zinc...
Either the dose was simply far too low in there or some ingredient hindered some...

hugs

Thanks so much for your help ... but i tried everything. It makes no sense, like everything else. File closed.

If you have tried everything in an area then it's time to find something else to try to see if that helps get the hair growing. Keep searching and don't give up on find something that will get the hair growing. Some of mine are being stubborn and staying short so if you happened to find that secret to getting things to grow and grow long let me know. Good luck and Hugs

Keep going *hugs*
Try only brewers yeast, it really worked with me. Its inexpensive and easy to take, a few pills a day.
Nail and hair growth should vastly increase.

And there are many other people who have to rely on other means of feminization.
Some are not on hrt, some have not that much feminization. Its quite a few people.
They all cope and find a way.

big hugs

Yes? Ive nearly no feminization ... 3 years, depots injections ... same as the hair, neverending tries!
Ive my SRS in 3 month and if i'm honest i wish sometime never wake up from it. Better to keep sleep and reach after so long time the peace i need so much!

*hugs*

I feel you.

But there really are others with similar situations.

There are ways to work around: FFS, etc.

sending you good thoughts

*hugs*
