Hi, I am having severe hair loss and I am taking medications for hair such as minoxidil 12.5. Although I do see hair growth but it's not lasting once you stop the hair loss continues. And it also causes headache whenever I use. I also consulted hair transplanting, but due high cost I am having doubts regarding whether I continue with minoxidil or hair transplant.

Dear lybrate-user, At your age, with proper medication and intervention, good results are expected. Never self medicate. Some over the counter medications can have severe side effects. Minoxidil 12.5 is very high a dose. Please visit a proper medical consultant for your concern.

Stop hair loss and regrow hair naturally Hot oil massage Take coconut oil, olive oil or canola oil and heat it up so that it is warm, but not too hot. Massage your scalp with this hot oil for a few minutes. Put on a shower cap for an hour then shampoo your hair. It helps to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. Its better to consult doctor.
