Hair Loss

So I don’t really deal with hair loss per se in the family, my dad is 60 and still has all his hair- but I defiantly can notice a thinning since my teenage years, mostly because at that time I was obsessed with constantly changing my hair colour and have gone blonde many times, sometimes orange haha.

I would more recommend going the Dermaroller route with scalp applications as you are able to stop and slow down as you go and exercise a greater amount of control rather than with a Dermapen. I also find that using a Dermapen on the scalp it’s sometimes annoying can you have to change the angle as you go along, and sometimes the hair will get caught up in the needle, ouch. Also, you can’t really apply HA to your scalp so just a gentle rolling over the area that your working on with a Dermaroller, in my opinion, is much easier and comfortable than using a pen.

Dermarolling alone has its benefits for your scalp but many will choose to combine this than with something like Rogaine as it will create micro-channels in your scalp and allow for better absorption of the product.

You don’t want to go super deep here anyway because you’re just looking to increase product absorption and not induce collagen or anything. Also, it goes without saying that your scalp has almost no fat and anything deep here would seriously hurt. That being said if you roll and use the right length needles you won’t experience any discomfort at all. It’s almost like an enjoyable scratch to me.

The most annoying part is the Rogaine because you need to apply it twice a day and they recommend to apply indefinitely in order to stop hair loss and stave off any hair loss in the future. I’m not sure that something I’m really comfortable about, so for me, I’m more leaning towards just Dermarolling itself. My mom is a nurse and I and my sister have always been taught growing up that like, taking medicine or pills is not always the best solution and that you should allow your body to sort things out itself instead of pumping it with drugs.

When we got the flu In school it was like, suffer it out cough syrup doesn’t really do shit lol. If we got a headache, it’ll pass or lie down, don’t just always take Advil, that kind of thing. Don’t mistake this for anti-Vax mindsets, we literally vaccines for anything we could haha.
