The research employed a qualitative, library-based approach, utilizing data from the manuscript, books, journals, and previous studies.

      Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.

      Finasteride is effective for hair regrowth, especially on the crown, but can cause side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction in some users. Opinions are mixed, with some reporting positive results without side effects and others experiencing significant issues.
