How To Reverse Hair Loss In 12 months (No Bullsh*t Protocol)

this is how our reverse hair loss at 18 years old now I'm going to talk about how it felt to start losing my hair at such a young age yeah it really was discouraging man I have to be honest I was embarrassed lost of my confidence constantly was trying to wear hats you know just trying to cover it up also I was in a denial for a big part of it because what happened was right I was in the spa with my mates nothing sucks and then my mate looks to me and he's a

barber and he looks at me and goes taken your hair's looking sick I'm like like I had this like reaction of like what are you talking about my hair looks sick I have great hair Rick what are you talking about you're just like nah bro like you got to do something I don't know what you're gonna do but you got to do something because like it's looking really sick and at the time I didn't believe him and I didn't even think anything was wrong with my hair and even

after that like that comment like got to me a bit right and I went into the mirror I was like looking at myself in the mirror I was like checking out my hair and I was like it's not that bad then I went further and I started looking at old photos of my hair and that's when I realized that oh she what has happened where's my hair going why is it not a stick why does it look like how it currently looks and it's just like thin wispy and I didn't even notice it right and the hairline was

receding and it was just a scary period because I didn't know what to do I didn't know how to stop this hair loss from occurring so as I did like most people I just didn't do anything for a while when I found out it was probably like January 2020 when my mate told me I didn't do anything I was like oh it's just okay maybe it's a bad hair day it will just stop itself like I didn't really know what to do I didn't know that like you know androgenic alopecia is like something that constantly keeps going like at the time I was like oh

like maybe it'll grow back maybe it's just like bad hair I don't know like I honestly don't even really remember what I thought but I remember there was no sense of urgency there was no sense of like I knew what to do because I didn't know what to do so I just left it up until May and then in May I looked at my hair and I was like oh [ __ ] this is really really bad I have to do something so then I remember my father told me about finasteride not that he even knows about it he started searching up on his phone and finasteride came up so what I

did went to the doctor got a finasteride prescription and yes I take finesse tried but during this period of time I really was skeptical of finasteride and the side effects because I remember the doctor's telling me the potential side effects then I would go on to Reddit forums I'd go into like research and finesse ride and it was like all bad stories about how they have post finasteride syndrome and just all this fear-mongering right and I really believe that I'd like perceived myself into feeling like that way and I wasn't

seeming retention at the time and my mental health was really bad and I really believe that finasteride was the cause of this so I did it for four months at the time from May to September and in that time my hair actually got way worse and you know I was losing way more hair it looks terrible and I was just like what's the point of this I'm obviously it's not working you know I mean just really stupid really stupid in hindsight right and I went off it and I was like okay it's causing me depression I'm gonna get off it so I got off

finasteride that's when I decided to get really really bad and that's when I started treatment in December late December 28th because I knew if I didn't do anything like my hair would go I'd have to be that good bald dude but I was 19 now and I would have been 19 and bald and I remember it was really embarrassing it was really embarrassing because when I wouldn't wear a hat it was really obvious and I had a different type of hair loss whereas my hair loss was a diffused thinning hair loss so

that's why I diffused thinning all over even on the sides the only thing I wasn't thinning is the back and it just looks really terrible and I didn't have it in me to like cut my hair or shave my hair off and I remember when I moved to Melbourne I hadn't seen family in so long last time I saw me I had really nice hair because this happened so rapidly and I remember like my family's like oh I take off your heart I haven't you with your hair because I got like a crop at the time I removed curtains I got a crop to like cover it and you know try to like cover as much hair as I could yeah I remember taking off my hat and to be fair I wore a hat like 12

hours on the drive to Melbourne I remember my family just looking at my hair going ah hi I was like yeah it was really awful and I remember my one of my aunties was like you know like balls boards coming in like boards come in so you don't you don't need to worry like oh my oh my God I'm that guy I'm I'm that guy like I'm getting the talk of like man you should probably shave it off it's it's the time to like shave it off like

it's it's it doesn't look like it's happening you know I mean it looks like it's in for you it's time to like get rid of it and I was just I was like no nah this can't be me not in my not in my teens like not at 19 or in my 20s like this can't be me and I always I bit it more about myself is that I always had long hair man I always had long lashes hair I used to have my hair like up to here and it was long thick and that's what I'd Rock I looked like every Surfer

Dude even though I don't surf but I always had long luscious hair right so it was a part of my identity and it was so hard to like swallow this pill and then I did end up swallowing a pill you know the red pill finasteride that's when it all changed me so after that I remember going watch and I remember my my cousins everyone in my family was so like you can't do anything about this and so yeah that's when I started treatment full-on and we're going to get into it but before I get into it I want

you to understand a bit about hair loss if you don't understand how hair loss works I'm gonna explain it to you just quickly right we all that are men juice testosterone right now unfortunately for some unlucky men your hair follicles you know the Androgen receptors on your head may be sensitive to DHT and you know especially if you have the androgenic alopecia genome you are technically [ __ ] in a sense your hair will start militarizing

and going right and what DHD does it latches on to you know the hair follicle and it starts militarizing it and the form of action right is that your hair has three cycles that it goes through has an anagen phase which is like the growth phase and this can last like three to five years then it has the contigen phase which is the resting phase right and this is where your hair is about to go through the intelligent phase which is a third phase but it's in the resting phase and just stays it doesn't grow and then it falls out like

two weeks later and it goes into the telogen phase of you know removing the hair it goes it leaves a follicle and like a new hair will start drawing but what happens right is with DHT it miniaturizes the hair on your scalp so it literally limits the Androgen phase and it increases the canagen and the telogen phase of the hair cycle and it does this enough times where your hair just gets weaker and weaker the hydrogen phase is shorter and shorter that at a

point it just doesn't grow back and it goes and it literally turns into scar tissue and it's almost like it's impossible to get it back without a hair treatment if your if your hair is gone and your skin is like it's like skin there you know how you see some people and it's like skin there like it's almost impossible to get it back like almost impossible only a few lucky people like microneedly and like minoxidil will be able to get it back but most likely you will need a hair transplant so that's why it's so critical to when you know you have

angina alopecia and the sign to do this is literally look at your scalp and this is the Norwood scale that I'm going to play right now and you can see you know the natural progression of energy it starts at the hairline it goes back then starts at the back and it kind of like meets each other right and then you know you just have a bold scalp on top and for most people your sides and your back will stay the same that's why you see like old people in movies they'll have like the sides in the back but they won't have the top so you have to know if you have the engineering alopecia

genome and to do this look at your family look at your family bro if it is in your genetics it is a very potent Gene if for some reason right and I was very unlucky because my dad doesn't have that bad of hair like he does have a bald patch at the top but that came like when he was like 32 right and the rest he has like his hairline's kind of intact and the rest of the hair kind of looks healthy it just has this like little bald patch on the back of his head I was like okay let me look at my mom's dad because that's how they

usually say you get your mom's dad's hair my mom's dad's hair was the best hair I've ever [ __ ] seen literally incredible hair even when he was 75 he had incredible hair he yes he had widow's peak but he had incredible hair and that came way later in like his life I was like oh okay what the [ __ ] and then I looked at my uncle and I have two uncles on my mom's side one that has his dad's hair which is great hair and then the other one who's bald I was like

ah how [ __ ] unlucky it wasn't from him himself but I'm just saying that Jane was in my family tree to a point where it actually came on to me and yeah he had the same um kind of hair loss as me he diffused thinner very very very thin now because he never did any treatment and yeah I was like [ __ ] but to go through this at 18 he started to go through it at like 30. and I was just like ah this just sucks anyway so yes look at your family look

at you know your mom's uncles your dad's uncles if anyone's bored you're technically not safe you're really not safe and it is way easier to prevent hair loss than it is to reverse hair loss preventing it is the main key because it is so difficult to reverse it because at the point where you want to reverse it you've already lost like 40 000 hairs on your scalp because it has to become noticeable first most people think that they just go ahead through hair loss it's already happened right so I started noticing my hair loss at 18.

that means I started boarding at like 16 or like 17. and it already started it already started and it did already start I remember 17 my hairline on the right side was gone I was like oh oh my hairline was always like that and I remember friends always giving me [ __ ] for it I was like bro I've always had this hairline like my right side's gone but I still have my left side but no that's the starting of Android Pizza it's usually starts on the right side as well okay now let's go into the treatments I use so as you can tell by

all the photos of you know my hair right now let's put up a lot yep really bad yep had like four strands on my head looking very thin looking like yeah how you going buddy time to shave it off I am what you would call an aggressive like I have aggressive Angelique alopecia very aggressive especially how young I was very aggressive I understand other P shot so the three minutes I got on first of all

then I stride I went back on finasteride yes minoxidil I started in the oral form but I switched over about five months in because it was more safe to go to the topical form I'll make a video about that another time of why tropical form is better and sebazole which is ketocodazole shampoo but they sell it as a brand name sebazole in Australia and ah do not forget this guy micro needling

microneedling was in my opinion like one of the biggest pushes in getting dead spots back and I had dead spots on my right side and they weren't completely dead but they looked pretty dead to be honest it looks like skin like it was shiny so but maybe there was little hairs there because I was diffusing I said maybe they'll just really really miniaturized right but this was crazy this was crazy coupled with Minoxidil like Game Changer real game changer and yeah I really am a big believer of

microneedling I swear by it love it and yeah still do it to this day now I saw those treatments and we're going to go through the timeline of my hair you know reversal Journey now this is my hair one to three months already you can see an insane change like already you can see oh wow densities come back a little bit and you know it's looking better it's looking healthier and let's do three to six months even looking better right so

then we get to eight months you can see my hair yeah it's looking a lot better looking a lot Fuller very nice very good progress already and honestly I was so grateful because I that was like what I hoped for to get to the stage that I was at eight months was what I like was just hoping that I could even get to you know I didn't even know if it was like possible because some people aren't even responders to the medication but in my case I was lucky in a sense I'd had diffuse thinning which means the hairs

were very miniaturized but that's a very good environment for treatment because it allows the hair to you know be resurrected in a sense because when you already have Scar Tissue there it's like near impossible to get your hair back without a hair transplant so at eight months is when I added more to the treatment and I was like [ __ ] it how far can I go with this so the treatments I added was tretinoin what this does is like doubles the effects of minoxidil

because it allows the absorption into the you know the hair follicle and it actually works uh really well for non-responders to Minoxidil and like there's heaps of research papers on when actually no one's added that minoxidil actually starts working for non-responders and also I added another treatment the big one which is like the last infinity stone uh to my research subject was are you it's an anti-androgen so those were the Medical

Treatments and then I added a few other things that Anna's talked about but definitely I think are a really big benefit of doing I would exfoliate my scalp with salt literally salt so I'd put a bunch of salt in like water and you know then I'd put it throughout my scalp and I'd you know exfoliate it every week once a week and bonus perk with is that your hair would look great after the assault um exfoliating so that was awesome so then I'll do the assault exfoliating I do the micro needling like later that day or that night and then

what I would do is that I would actually do treatment in my hair because the problem is with severzone Ketoconazole shampoo I use this every day and most people don't even use it every day because it makes your hair look so [ __ ] bad right people use it like two to three times a week but I use it every day like here's an image of my hair it literally looks like a haystack like it looks like a tumble wheel in um in the desert you know what I mean it looked terrible so I was like okay what's the point of getting my hair back and you know using this shampoo which is you

know a mild anti-androgen and my hair looking [ __ ] terrible right but I knew it works and I knew that it was really good for my type of hair because I had very oily hair especially when I started finasteride like the testosterone on your scalp gets boosted and it's just so oily and disgusting and just chat and this literally cleans the scalp puts down um helps with inflammation and just yeah 100 big believer of kitty cortisol shampoo as well but it made my hair looked terrible so what I did is I added

treatments oil treatments so what I did I would get a bowl coconut oil castor oil rosemary oil argan oil olive oil and then I would add aloe vera aloe vera is really good for hair growth and just hair health and you know like a stable hair environment and what I do I mix this all together in my little bowl and then I put in the microwave for like 20 seconds so I was like warmish slash hottish so it would like really sink into the scalp and I would do this once

a week and yeah crazy crazy because my hair looks way better dealt healthier grew better and then I would leave it in for about three to four hours and I'll just wash it out I'd you know do double shampooing so I shampoo it once and shampoo we're going to get rid of all the oil but I saw a huge difference in hair Health the look of my hair the shine of my hair the state of my hair was just it looked nourished whereas when I didn't do these oil treatments especially with all these Medical Treatments that you do right it dries

out your hair in topical minoxidil it's alcohol as well it's mostly alcohol so it's all very dry into the skin out very dry into the hair and also doing these oil treatments reduced and the salt exfoliating treatment on my scalp is that it really got rid of like the dandruff that I had because I used to have a lot of dandruff and a lot of people going to experience a lot of dandruff but it would decide to cleanse the scalp and then I would nourish the scalp with oil so you salt first then I deal with oil the next day when I'd wake

up three to four hours and wash it out and yeah that really really worked for me I've never really heard anyone talk about it I heard people do a few oil treatments but I was doing this like weekly it depends how much you want it bro it does take time takes consistency and you know there'd be times where I didn't want to do my hair or do the treatment on my hair but I'll do the treatment on my hair anyway at the time I was a bartender and I'd finished work at like 1am or 2 A.M and I'd get home last thing I want to do you know these treatments in my scalp was the last thing I want to do but I did it anyway because I knew the ROI on it is so worth

it bro to have a good healthy head of hair and to go from nothing to something is like crazy and it was crazy worth it I do not regret anything I did and all the effort all the time wouldn't really paid off and you can achieve the same results if not better you're consistent with it and you know you're putting action into resurrect your hair and save your hair and trust me bro huge confidence booster

not only that I look way younger I look way younger than I did two years ago and it's not in there it's also I got a full-on skincare routine if you've always won a video on that let me know in the comments because I have a like I have a elite skincare routine I have an Elite Hair routine and yeah they've all really helped with confidence and also you don't really value your hair until you lose it I didn't give a [ __ ] about my hair man I really did not give a [ __ ] like I would be putting links that links

gel into it and just [ __ ] it'd look horrible like I never like styled it well uh and it was just terrible so to wrap up this video bro if I can do it you can do it and I understand the way that you're feeling right now it is really scary man I know I'd be in the shower as well counting the hairs on my hand man be like 40 hairs on my hand but you just need to stay consistent with the treatment you've got to stay consistent you've got to trust the process don't look at your hair until six months and then evaluate your

results and evaluate what else you want to do or any adjunct treatments that you want to add and yeah just know that it is possible it is possible and if people are telling you to shave your head you don't need to yet man at least try six to 12 months of trying to do your hair because a lot can change in that time period and 100 you're gonna have some good results bro get through it boys hair loss is [ __ ] scary especially if you're young or your middle age right now you can beat it you can reverse hair

loss because I did had a very aggressive type of hair loss and I was able to so you can too all right take care bro I'll see you next video bye
