I am 29 year old female suffering from female pattern baldness. I tried minoxidil for an year with very mediocre results. I have been prescribed 1 mg finasteride per day to stop hair loss. Is it safe for pre-menopausal women? What could be potential side effects apart from fetal abnormality during pregnancy.

For natural and fast hair growth, you can use Indian gooseberry, also known as amla. Indian gooseberry is rich in vitamin C, of which a deficiency in the body can cause hair loss. The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and the exfoliating properties present in Indian gooseberry can help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth. Mix one tablespoon each of Indian gooseberry or amla pulp and lemon juice. Massage your scalp with the mixture thoroughly. Cover your hair with a shower cap. Leave it on overnight and shampoo your hair in the morning. For hair regrowth treatment you may contact me.
