Been conscious of my balding crown for a while now, even after 6 months on Fin it hasn’t seemed to shrink at all. Decided to purchase some keratin hair thickening fibres (the powder stuff you put on bald spots) and couldn’t be happier with the results!

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

      The user experienced hair thickening and reduced shedding using minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, with a switch from finasteride to dutasteride due to ineffectiveness. They also use a saw palmetto shampoo and take vitamin D3 supplements, while considering potential underlying causes like vitamin deficiencies and hard water buildup.
