5 / 21 resultscommunity Increasing activity of the sult1a1 enzyme via alkalizing agent and tretinoin for better response to topical minoxidil
Increasing the sult1a1 enzyme on the scalp may improve response to topical minoxidil. The user suggests using a baking soda solution, DMSO, and tretinoin to enhance enzyme activity and minoxidil effectiveness.
community Topical minoxidil brand (and form of application) matters. You can be a hyper-responder to one product and a non-responder to another.
Different minoxidil formulations affect hair growth and side effects. Higher propylene glycol and pH levels improve effectiveness but can cause scalp irritation.
community DIY Shed treatment & thick regrowth, Vitamin C shampoo
DIY hair loss treatment with vitamin C in shampoo reduced shedding and promoted regrowth, benefiting both the original poster and their wife.
community Ejaculation and Oxytocin are responsible for Hair loss
The conversation discusses the idea that ejaculation and oxytocin might cause hair loss. It mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community blood flow and scalp tension - put up or shut up
The conversation discusses skepticism about the effectiveness of scalp tension theory and scalp massagers for hair regrowth, contrasting it with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, which have more user-reported results. Participants question the belief in scalp tension theory, suggesting it may be a marketing tactic, while others argue for a multifactorial approach to hair loss.
