community Why is minoxidil the “regrowth stimulant” and finasteride “the maintenance”, when official studies show more growth on finasteride ?
Finasteride is more effective for long-term hair maintenance by addressing the root cause of hair loss, while minoxidil acts as a growth stimulant with faster visible results. Combining both treatments is optimal, with oral minoxidil often showing better results for some individuals.
community Can you use shedding (number of hairs when washing) as progress monitor?
Shedding stopped for a user after trying various hair loss treatments without success, including Propecia and Minoxidil. The improvement occurred after starting CB (possibly a hair loss treatment), Eucapil, natural sprays with rosemary and cloves, and regular sauna visits.
