Hello, Shirazm,
I went straight to Good Looking Loser's site, since he had good articles on shampoo for hair loss.
Seems the search won't work...
So, here's what I COULD get:
Alternative option, Reishi Mushroom is supposedly as good as Finasteride. However, there are two forms of DHT, and Finasteride blocks only one of them. I needed to use Dutasteride to block the other form - but that has the same side effects as Finasteride, which can make sex very unfulfilling, from the Penetration side. (Giving or getting, it affects the prostate and the head.)
Reishi doesn't SEEM to cause the second effect.
But these approaches did not work for me at all. Estrogen works, loosens up the scalp allowing more blood flow, which is also what Nizoral and Minoxidil do. You could also use topical Niacin, the flush kind (nicotinnic acid) will also cause massive blood vessel dilation (dependent on dose), and that would help as well. You'll have to endure a flush like a sunburn. It will also help with cholesterol, so consider the overall picture. You'd want to start at like 500 mg and go up. For cholesterol cleansing, it was work up to 8 grams/day. I think i'd pop, I wouldn't recommend going over 2 grams. If you're on anticoagulants, don't do it. If on heart medicines, talk to a doctor, and probably don't do it.
Note the "extended release" form of niacin, niacinimide, won't have any useful effects for this.
You could also consider topical creams and ointments, or making your own tinctures. Jojoba oil for penetration; coconut oil for nutrients and fats; sandalwod oil for possible hair regrowth. (No effect for me).
Also heard of onion juice for hair growth. Had good effects, but hair growth wasn't one of them.
Lastly, drink spearmint and green tea. Especially if you're trying to get skinny, there are diets built on drinking tea. (White, Green, and a calming tea at night. For us, Fennel would be good. It was like 4-6 cups/day. I find white to be excellent, green is tolerable, fennel is good, and you can blend them, too. White stops fat gain, green helps you lose it. White does, too, but it's almost tasteless.) You could also use Mother's Milk or Female tea (custom blend we have in Salem, Mass) or distill tea from the herbs. Maybe use White Willow. Don't bother combining white peony and spearmint, spearmint removes free testosterone from the blood stream, and white peony is an aromatase enhancer, so they're at cross purposes. I'd suggest considering Zen tea (Tazo, I think), which has spearmint, green tea, and lemongrass, which is also a phytoestrogen. Or, blend your own - I have a 40 oz mug I try to use three times a day.
Another route to consider is, go vegan, or at least: NO red meat. Red meat has cholesterol, dietary cholesterol helps in creation of testosterone. However, the body can make its own cholesterol... So YMMV. We've been doing Purple Carrot, which is vegan meals. It's pretty good, surprisingly filling, and it will kill the testosterone, based on my experience.
A few notes, though: I've got receded hairline. Thinning on top. Got that at about 21. I can feel the thickened tissues of the scalp, and even drinking gallons of water (up to 3) in a day had no effect.
But pharma estrogen always does...
Spearmint helps a little, PM helps a little.
But I haven't regrown hair from any of these methods... I think the most I've gotten is better circulation, leading to healthier hair.
Regrowth is a problem, and until we either build nanotech to move hair follicles from arms & legs to head... I think we're pretty much screwed by mother nature. She's a stone cold bitch sometimes. ;-) :-(
Wish you the best. See what you can do, keep trying things, because without knowing the cause, you'll be guessing at a fix.

(I noticed you're drinking Spearmint tea, but I left that part in, it just made sense as written. ;-) )
Edit: Poking around GLL's forums, I found this "https://www.goodlookingloser.com/forums/hair-loss-prevention/134762-ru58841-overview"
And they're talking about an unknown substance, but I wanted to edit this in quickly. RU58841 seems to only affect the scalp? Unsure but I'll keep digging.
