community Dutasteride thins eyebrows and facial hair but doesn't stop scalp loss.
Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
community Why do people on this sub die on the hill that fin/dut doesn't give regrowth in most cases?
Finasteride and dutasteride mainly stop hair loss, with little regrowth. Minoxidil is better for regrowth, but results differ per person.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth.
