Episode notes
Early Hair Loss Struggle
- Faraz first noticed heavy hair loss at 21 and tried numerous home remedies and supplements without success.
- He shaved his head multiple times and later tried finasteride for 12 years before seeking alternative solutions.
Multifactor Approach Is Essential
- Faraz's key insight: hair regrowth requires addressing multiple causes at once, not single fixes.
- He found combining 3–5 approaches produced measurable regrowth within months.
Spot Hormonal Thinning Signs
- If you see mixed thin and thick strands or thinning at the crown/temples, suspect hormonal (DHT-related) thinning.
- Use DHT-targeting strategies when those signs appear, especially after age 35–40.
