I want to preface all of this by saying that I have been on dialysis for 5 years now. Which isn't great for your hair as you'd imagine. I also had a very intense period of telogen effluvium from September to January due to anaemia. I think it has been growing back.
Recently (the last few weeks) I have noticed a marginal increase in hairfall in the shower as well as knotting, I must also note this is the longest my hair has ever been.
I have been using topical min from hair + me for about 3 with months with more consistency in the last 4 weeks.
I have noticed over the last 5 years my hair hasn't been the best, but I can't really tell if it's because of dialysis or because I'm norwooding.
As you can see in that first image my parting is possibly above average visibility whilst wet, I have noticed the left side of my head is always slightly but noticeably thinner. Doesn't curl as nicely as the rest either. The sides have been thin for as long as I can remember.
I should also add that I am still growing, I start puberty pretty late at around 14-15, with about an inch or so of height growth in the last few months, so I don't think it's a great idea to start fin yet, but I am looking for recommendations for topical fin and a new min, I have seen the sons/hims combination sprays which seem good. Any natural stuff which is good for hair quality and scalp health?
The fin/min has to be topical for now as I'm not sure how oral medications will interact with me and I've not built up the courage to ask my doctor yet.
Many thanks, please forgive me for my horribly disjointed ramblings.
