Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Differences in Expression of Specific Biomarkers Distinguish Human Beard from Scalp Dermal Papilla Cells

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity why are beard gains on min usually permanent?
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.
community Beard growth stunted due to DHT blockers
DHT blockers like dutasteride can reduce beard thickness while improving scalp hair. Using minoxidil on the beard may help maintain its thickness.
community 2000 beard graft extracted with no visible scar
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.
community Gaining or losing beard on fin
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.
community Anyone else’s beard took a huge hit on finasteride or dutasteride? Would minoxidl hepl?
The effects of finasteride and dutasteride on beard growth, whether minoxidil would help with facial hair loss caused by DHT blockers, and anecdotal evidence from users who have experienced either decreased or increased facial hair density while using these treatments.
