At 53 years old, I didn't think my hair would come back, but look! what Rogaine and Spironolactone did!

Wait 5 sec.

I attribute most of the thickness and growth to Minoxidil 5% Foam. I used Kirkland brand and Rogaine, alternating,depending on which one I can easily get. I don't know exactly what caused my hairloss, I THINK it was perimenopause. First picture is right before I started anything. Second photo is after using oral Spironolactone 100mg/day for 1 year and 3 months. The next photo was just earlier this year and it was after using 5% minoxidil foam for 1.5 years. I did get it cut a few times., otherwise it would be so much longer because Minoxidil makes my hair grow so fast. The only thing now is that I had a hospitalization a few months ago and the Dr took me off Spironolactone. He said it was very hard on my kidneys. That was 3 months ago and my hair is shedding a lot and my scalp and face, sooo oily. But I am still using Rogaine, which is keeping my hair thick, despite the mega shedding from cold turkey stopping Spironolactone. But!! I just found out about Topical 5% Spironolactone. So I will continue my favorite (Minoxidil 5%) and add on topical spironolactone.   submitted by   /u/itwasadayin2025 [link]   [comments]
