      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  138 upvotes 8 months ago
      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. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      community Can someone explain the Dutasteride hysteria in this community?

      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.

      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, with users suggesting the use of finasteride daily, considering minoxidil for aggressive hair loss, and discussing the normalcy of shedding during treatment. Some users recommend adding Nizoral shampoo and switching to dutasteride for better results.

      community Dutasteride (.5mg) is some strong stuff!

      User switched from finasteride and minoxidil to dutasteride, experienced side effects, then took dutasteride once a week with improved hair density. Another user had success with daily dutasteride, while one had no results from topical dutasteride.
