He experienced manageable shedding, noticeable hair density improvement, and plans to consider a hair transplant after 12-18 months on the oral treatment.

      The conversation is about the double standard in the hair loss community regarding shedding when using different treatments. The conclusion is that shedding is considered normal when starting finasteride or minoxidil, but not when starting dutasteride, despite the fact that dutasteride is more effective at reducing DHT.
