I will be restarting my fight against hair loss.
How to measure the effectiveness of treatments? I really would like to find the best way. I have looked at and been through so many big things in the past on hairloss forums where the latest thing is growing peach fuzz or people can feel stubble coming through, these people then give up on this new latest treatment and nothing is heard again.
Some ways that I was thinking of or have a little knowledge of.
Find a reference point on the scalp, place a thin metal washer with that reference spot in the center of it, photograph and count the hairs.
Get a Celestron 44302 or similar USB microscope ~$50 , use it with an extension tube to find the reference spot, center it then photograph and count the hairs, this way I could easily calculate the hair shaft diameter as well.
Any advice on the best and other ways?
I have slick bald areas and the top of my head is shaved so this makes it easier.
My first things getting back into it are 2% Minox, Grape seed extract, Nizoral shampoo, Retin-A 0.05 cream. The 2% I will use for a month so that I don't get an initial minox shed.
Will do a full blood test then Look at adding RU 58841 within a few months and get within the next month an alcohol based Retin-A.
Could I buy a large tube of 0.10% Retin-A cream and mix it with alcohol to increase its absorption? I would do this so that I could just buy one Retin-A tube for skin and hair.
