Beard gains from minoxidil are usually permanent due to facial hair follicles' lower sensitivity to DHT. Scalp hair requires ongoing DHT suppression with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 to maintain gains after stopping minoxidil.

A user shared their experience with a beard-to-scalp hair transplant, noting no visible scars and improved hair density using finasteride and minoxidil. The conversation discusses the differences between beard and scalp hair, potential changes in hair texture, and the use of beard hair for increased scalp coverage.

DHT blockers like dutasteride can reduce beard thickness while improving scalp hair. Using minoxidil on the beard may help maintain its thickness.

The user experienced positive scalp results with Dutasteride but noticed beard thinning, prompting a switch back to Finasteride. They plan to monitor the situation and may consider combining treatments in the future.

Using finasteride may slow beard growth due to reduced DHT, but minoxidil can enhance beard growth. Some users report slower beard growth on finasteride, while others see continued improvement with minoxidil.
