community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community Prevention when you have minimal hair loss
Starting finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil early is advised for minimal hair loss to preserve hair. Professional consultation is important due to potential side effects.
community Does creatine really speed up hair loss if you have male pattern baldness?
Creatine is not proven to cause hair loss, but some report increased shedding, especially with male pattern baldness. Finasteride or minoxidil are suggested to counteract potential hair loss while using creatine.
community Does someone like Prince William have such intense balding genetics that not even Dutasteride can save them?
Some men have strong balding genetics that treatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil, or Finasteride may not fully address. Early intervention is believed to help, but many accept hair loss without treatment.
