5 / 104 resultscommunity Can someone explain the science behind why Finasteride doesn't stop you from losing regrown hairs from minoxidil?
Finasteride prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT, while minoxidil stimulates hair growth by prolonging the active phase of hair follicles. Stopping minoxidil can lead to loss of regrown hair because finasteride does not address the same growth mechanism.
