I have frontal fibrosising Alopecia. I have lost both my eyebrows and my hairline is receding. I had bloods done and had low ferritin. I had an iron infusion. They wanted me to go some heavy duty meds, but I have taken a holistic approach.
I use castor oil and coconut oil on the balding parts, rubbed in at night, washed out in the morning.
I also use lavender oil, Tea tree, rosemary, peppermint with a carrier oil and rub them in,( individually).
I take a good multivitamin for hair and skin , extra biotin and I have taken saw palmetto.
My hair has not carried on receding it has just remained the same.
I also try to use products on my hair that don't have parabens and sulphates in them and definitely no silicones.
I try to go as natural as possible with products. I airdry my curly hair.
I would rather do this than be on meds that i have to have bloods done to makesure my kidneys and liver are not failing!
Also stress is a major factor in hair loss. I went through a terrible year which I think triggered my hair loss.
I would ask if they checked your ferritin levels, not just iron, as low ferritin levels will make an that you will lose hair, but bloods might come back okay, because they checked iron and not ferritin.
I hope this helps you!
If you are allergic to oils don't use them!
