ACV is the solution to my hair fall
I am glad to find this forum about hair loss. I just want to share my experience with you.
I have hair loss problem for some time, mainly at the top of my head. After my surgery last year, the hair fall off like crazy, everywhere on my head : top, left, right and behind my head.
At the rate my hair is falling off, I will be bald very soon. Totally bald without any hair left. I tried almost everything mentioned in this forum.
One thing that works is the posting by looonie. It quote some website "earthclinic.com" about hair loss caused by fungus. There is a person called Ted sharing his solutions about hair loss. Since I am going to be bald anyway, I am willing to try anything.
I bought this EDEN organic apple cider vinegar (ACV). You can get other brands from NTUC or cold storage. I mixed one teaspoon with water and drink it every night. Not bad. Feel good when I drink it and sleep better at night. Helps to sh-i-t more the next morning.
The website say about washing the hair with ACV. I shampoo my hair every alternate day and I hate to wash hair because I can see a lot of hair on my hand during shampooing. On the days I did not shampoo my hair, I just rinse my hair with ACV. I use diluted ACV : 1/3 ACV to 2/3 tap water. Rinse for 3 minutes. Wrap the hair in a towel for 5 minutes before rinsing with water. Suppose to wrap at least 15 minutes but I dare not try so long the first time.
Surprising, the following day when I shampoo, I see 50% less hair on my hand. I am so happy.
Since then, I rinse my hair with ACV every alternate day and today is the fourth time. Now when I shampoo, I see less than 10 hair on my hand. When I comb, I see only 1-2 hair on the comb. Now I keep the ACV on my hair for half hour before rinsing off.
A few things to note:
- When rinsing with ACV, don't let ACV get in your eyes. It hurts. Keep a towel nearby because you sure get it into your eye.
- ACV like all vinegar stinks so do it after work. The smell is reduced an hour later.
I think fungus is causing my hair loss. I wash everything that touches my hair as often as I can : combs (every 2 days with brush), pillow case(every week), towel (2 times weekly). I separate the towel I used to wipe my body dry from the towel I used to wipe my hair dry.
My hair is oily type and always have dandruff. Washing with ACV makes my hair less oily and make the dandruff disappear. Last time, I can still see dandruff no matter how I shampoo even with those potent anti dandruff shampoo. Now the dandruff is cleared with 3 times of ACV rinsing.
I always wonder if the DHT that is causing balding, then why most of us bald on top and not start blading at the side of the head. But if fungus is the cause of the problem, this explains why. Dirt is accumulated more on top of the head than the sides. The top of the head is more oily and dirty than the side and therefore fungus will attack from there.
I am thinking of shaving off the hair off my hair and see any ringworms that the website mentioned. I also followed the instructions in that website : take soya milk (can't find manganese here), baking soda, vitamin C, vitamin B, zinc.
Hope that ACV can solve your problem. If anyone knows where to buy borax, please post it in this forum. Borax method is another way to kill the fungus even faster. Also if anyone can find manganese supplements, pls also tell me. Thanks.
Caution : Whatever you want to try from that website, pls read carefully and do it slowly. The first posting shows someone goes bald because she put hydrogen peroxide on her hair over night when the instruction is just to use it for 1-2 minutes.
