Hello. I’ve been taking creatine on and off about 2 years now and I’ve noticed a strange pattern. Everytime I get off creatine, the hairs on my body(including scalp) grows thiner all over and some falls out. When I go back on creatine, new hair grows back much thicker and longer than it naturally would be. Most people seem to think there’s a connection between creatine and hair loss but for me it’s hair growth. Am I some sort of a freakish exception or do other people experience this?
I do not know you well enough to confirm that you are “freakish”. Kidding aside, I do not know of any good research that correlates hair growth with creatine. Most are all anecdotal evidence like your story. In other words, I unfortunately do not have an answer to your question.
