I understand how frustrating it is to deal with worsening hair loss, especially when treatments like HG5 hair oil and Follihair haven't shown results after six months. For male pattern thinning, medical treatments are generally more effective than oils. Dermatologists often recommend generic topical minoxidil to stimulate growth and oral finasteride to address the hormonal root cause. A ketoconazole shampoo can also help maintain a healthy scalp environment. Because hair loss is highly personal, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist.

Since your hair loss has likely stabilized, undergoing an FUE transplant at age 25 is generally safe and a great time to proceed. For grade 4 hair loss, you will typically need approximately 2,500 to 3,500 grafts to achieve natural-looking coverage, depending on your donor hair density. I highly recommend consulting a qualified specialist to evaluate your scalp and customize your treatment.

If your egg whites are cooked, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Cooking inactivates avidin, the protein in raw egg whites that binds to biotin. However, if you are consuming them raw, it can indeed deplete your biotin levels over time. Since you are taking Follihair, which contains biotin, you already have an extra layer of protection. To support your new hair growth safely, just ensure your egg whites are fully cooked.

I understand how frustrating it is to deal with hair breakage, especially when supplements like Follihair and Xtraglo haven't helped. Trichorrhexis nodosa is often triggered by physical or chemical trauma to the hair shaft, or sometimes underlying health conditions. First, try to minimize heat styling, harsh chemicals, and vigorous brushing to protect the hair. I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can perform a scalp examination and check for underlying issues like thyroid imbalances or iron deficiency. They may suggest specific medical therapies, such as topical minoxidil if there is concurrent hair loss, or specialized hair-strengthening treatments.

Since topical treatments haven't worked, your next best step is to consult a dermatologist. They can evaluate you for prescription oral medications like finasteride, which target the root hormonal cause of male pattern baldness. Other advanced options include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or low-level laser therapy to stimulate hair follicles. Let's also check for underlying issues like vitamin deficiencies or thyroid imbalances through simple blood tests.

Follihair is a nutritional supplement. Generally, it is safe to take, but it contains minerals like calcium and iron that can interfere with your thyroid medication's absorption. To ensure your thyroid medicine works effectively, please take Follihair at least four hours apart from it. While there are no major known interactions with most depression or psychosis medications, it is always safest to share this supplement with your prescribing doctor.
