    TLDR 3-Deoxysappanchalcone helps human hair cells grow and stimulates hair growth in mice by affecting certain cell signaling pathways.
    The study from November 1, 2016, demonstrated that 3-Deoxysappanchalcone (3-DSC) promotes the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and stimulates hair growth in C57BL/6 mice. The research showed that 3-DSC modulates WNT/β-catenin and STAT signaling pathways, enhancing the phosphorylation of β-catenin and STAT3, and increasing the expression of hair growth-related genes such as Cdk4, FGF, and VEGF. Conversely, it reduced STAT6 mRNA expression and IL4-induced STAT6 phosphorylation. In mice, topical application of 3-DSC for 15 days resulted in rapid and intense hair growth. The study concluded that 3-DSC could be a potential therapeutic agent for hair growth, although the number of human participants was not specified, the number of mice used in the hair growth experiment was 8 (n=4 per group).

      community 3 months min/fin, kinda consistent

      in Is this regrowth?  8 upvotes 1 day ago
      A 29-year-old male experiencing hair loss started using oral minoxidil and finasteride three months ago, along with keto shampoo, and notices slight progress despite inconsistent use. He plans to continue this regimen for a year.

      community 3,5 months of only topical minoxidil

      in Minoxidil  675 upvotes 3 days ago
      A 24-year-old reported new hair growth on temples after 3.5 months of using topical minoxidil without shedding. They plan to add finasteride to maintain progress, as minoxidil alone may not be enough long-term.

      community 3 & 7 months progress on Topical Min and Topical Fin

      in Progress Pictures  4 upvotes 6 days ago
      The user shared progress pictures showing hair regrowth over 7 months using topical Minoxidil, topical Finasteride, and multivitamins with biotin, noting more regrowth at 3 months than at 7 months. They suspect a shedding phase and are considering the impact of not continuing microneedling.

      community 3 in one capsule. Worth it or not?

      in Product  3 upvotes 1 week ago
      A user is considering a 3-in-1 capsule containing Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Biotin for hair loss. Concerns are raised about Biotin's impact on the effectiveness of Finasteride and Minoxidil, and the cost is unclear without logging in.
