Oral Steroid Made My Hair Grow Back Thicker!

[Jakejr]

I tried Anavar… didn’t notice anything..
I have Duasteride but not much improvement…
I’m trying Hydrochloriquine along with niagen & niacin.. I think I’m noticing some thickening.
Hydrochloriquine reduces scalp fibrosis.. who would have thunk it

Anyway, my diet would be generally disgusting to most people and I'm not really doing it for the hair.. It was just something that I conveniently and happily noticed. I basically eat a totally raw food diet. I eat fruits and vegetables... Like a sickening amount lol. I believe this, in addition to the supplements I take, have helped my adrenal glands, kidneys, and thyroid function more optimally.

Can you list your diet exactly. I suffer from scalp inflammation too.

I am always experimenting… I have tried to eat a super healthy diet w) supplements.. But this did little to grow or regrow my hair… So diet & weight & body fat are important health concerns.. they really do little for changing the hair growth parameters. Hydorochloriquine.. I ordered during COVID just to have it. I bought 75 200 mg pills & just put it away maybe taking 4 or 5 pills to test the taste & body’s reaction. And then one day 9 months later I happened to read Hydrochloriquine reverses scalp fibrosis. WHAT? that is what I was now focusing on.. So I knew I had 5 pills left on a tab & started to take one a day.. I noticed hairs sprouting out 1/2 inch in length in hairline where no hairs were growing previously. I then went to look for my other 65 pills & dammit couldn’t find where I hid them.. so I stopped for last 4 days.. & had to make a double order overseas to get a new batch.. It should be coming soon..
But as far as diet.. I eat typically beef/steak/fish/chicken in that rotation..
I use olive oil, butter, seeds, potato, etc..

Please keep us updated on how things go with Hydorochloriquine, I just googled this as wasn't aware either.

What kind of hairloss do you have? Traditional male pattern baldness or diffuse thinning? Or mixture of both?

With regards to the new growth, has this or any other hair shed more since stopping Hydorochloriquine?

I don’t shed.. Just looking for thickening of hair in typical male problem areas.
I want to test Hydrochloriquine for 30-60 days.
Niacin B3 is another supplement I’m just becoming familiar with. It dilates blood vessels close to skin which may help scalp follicles. It processes keratin which hairs are made of. Also lessens inflammation.
Tru Niagen is another NAD+ booster which some have reported helping hair health..
So those 3 I’m going to test for 30-60 days to see if they help hair..
