Can i naturally reverse baldness or should i give up?

Embrace it: Surgery and scientific medicines are somewhat effective in reversing male pattern baldness. None of the 'natural' / 'herbal' / 'holistic' remedies will touch it. I'm sorry if you were suckered. Your BEST remedy is to get back into that fitness-focused lifestyle you enjoyed as a teen -- fitness is 95% of a man's good looks, regardless of where he does or doesn't have hair. Ask Photo Guy.

ALOPECIA TX: Alopecia or hair loss may be multifaceted . You need full Exam &lab work up especially Vit d/Thyroid studies /TESTOSTERONE/ b12 and folate. If they are normal start high dose Biotin zinc B12 and folic acid.. Rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia may be helpful. If there is no improvement consult dermatology for biopsy to rule out auto-immune ALOPECIA AERATA.. With supplements start low and go slow.
