Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are suffering from baldness.

Olive oil alone cannot stop the balding process.

We have US FDA approved medications like minoxidil and finasteride for it but you need to take it for a long time as we cannot cure the genetic problem but can halt the process.

Minoxidil is a solution which has to be applied twice a day.

Finasteride is a tablet which has to be taken with the dermatologist's prescription.

Apart from these, you could do other treatments like Low light laser therapy, microneedling with stem cells and take oral biotin supplements to help accelerate hair regrowth.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
