[Xethmoid]

Update!
i added minoxidil to top area 1 week ago.
im using minoxidil to temples for 7 months.
and im using saw palmetto 340mg and pumpkin seed oil capsule 1380mg for 7 months.
I had telogen effluvium 8 month ago cause of crash diet, and i have diffuse thinning.

Your hair is too long for us to see any Diffuse Thinning. It might be better for both you and the forum members to see what's going on with your hair if you cut it shorter. Also having shorter hair will make it much easier to apply Minoxidil when it comes to the top of the scalp (which you have just started). You might have already noticed it's abit more difficult to get the Minoxidil distributed along your top scalp because it has so much hair compared to your temple region which doesn't.

Have you noticed any side effects so far on 340mg Saw Palmetto?

It's quite odd that your side effects completely disappeared without you stopping treatment or even lowering the dosage.

Where do you get your Saw Palmetto and Pumpkin Seed Capsule from?

And which brands do you use for each of these?

Your hair looks great, because DHT has caused little damage. Keep reading forum for ideas!
