Hair loss is an issue that many people want to get rid of. I also used to have very bad hair it was so infrequent and I’m genetically thin haired but I managed to come over that.
I have used some liquids which are appled externally to the scalp and one of the greatest solution was a liquid which consisted from minoxidil as the reacting agent and ethil alcohol. It aided me REALLY WELL.
And I’m also using a herbal oil mixture which turns out working really well.
Hello Tyler it is so good to hair of your success story. this will give people hope to know that even though they are having this issue there is hope. Thanks again for sharing and the best of success to you.
As always, great information Maurice. I am surprised that the huge list of things you can do to thicken your hair, which I need btw 🙂 I recently purchased high potency Niacin for my ears, and my ENT said it might help because Niacin stimulate blood flow. I am wondering that since it does stimulate blood flow, if it would also work for hair growth? I can utilize quite a few of items you have listed, but it would be nice to kind of have them work in conjunction with the Niacin 🙂
