I was diagnosed (via a scalp biopsy) with Androgenetic Alopecia that was triggered by an episode of Telogen Effluvium. I've been dealing with hair loss for about 2 years now, but I have finally started to see serious regrowth in the last few months. I have cats, so I cannot take minoxidil (and I didn't want to have to take such a heavy pharmaceutical for the rest of my life to maintain my hair growth). I did start taking a low dose of spironolactone as prescribed by my derm as well as using all of these products consistently. In addition to the scalp and hair treatments, I also massively increased my protein and omega-3 intake. If you are also on a hair loss journey, I wish you all the best and I hope something here helps you as much as it has me. Losing hair can be emotionally devastating it was intensely traumatizing for me. Take good care of yourself and know that it is possible to see results with consistency <3

We had our first eczema baby 2 years ago and let me tell me the $ we spent trying to find what works, is insane. Under age 2, doctors cannot prescribe anything that's not a steriod. We had to do our own research and trial and error EVERYTHING. With many having eczema, you know it's frustrating and it's hard to tell what works and if it does, maybe later or doesn't. It's Frustrating. I put together a few things that lasted us more than 1 purchase to see if it helps anyone.
