Ask what is causing your hair loss and how certain the doctor is; what happens if you do nothing for a year; every option with its realistic upside, downside, cost, and maintenance burden; how progress will be measured and when you would expect to see anything; and what the plan is if the first approach does not deliver.

Five, that change the conversation. What exactly is happening on my scalp? What would happen if I did nothing for a year? What are you measuring today so we can compare later?
