      Creatine can cause increased hair loss in some people, particularly those with a predisposition to androgenic alopecia, but hair loss often stops after discontinuing its use. Some users experience no hair loss while using creatine.

      Creatine may worsen hair loss in some, especially with androgenic alopecia, but evidence is mixed. Some users experience no hair loss when using creatine with minoxidil and finasteride, while others notice increased shedding.

      community Creatine and increased MPB Hair Loss

       10 upvotes 4 years ago
      Creatine may increase hair loss in those with male pattern baldness (MPB) due to increased DHT, but whey protein generally does not affect hair loss. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, and some users report increased shedding with creatine but not with whey protein.
