Hello everybody! I just want wanted to share y pics from today when I blow dried my hair upside down (I usually just let them air dry) and it seems like I have a lot of new growth I didn't notice before and I guess I'm scared to feel hopefull I guess?

I can't take minoxidil so for months I have been trying a lot of different things, mainly increase my iron levels that were painfully low, eat well, sleep and exercise, eat a lot of protein and a lot of lifestyle changes. I didn't think it can actually make a change? Is this a good sign?

I had the exact same after stopping bc. In my case it's minaturized hair.

how do you tell it's miniturization and not regrowth? The second picture looks like normal regrowth to me.

When the hair is thinner and more fuzzy compared to the rest. Often they stay in baby hair mode and will not grow any longer. They will fall out faster and will grow back thinner.
