Haircafe is generally trusted for hair loss information, particularly for his evidence-based approach and recommendations of finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil. While some users appreciate his scientific focus and lack of product promotion, others criticize his dismissal of anecdotal evidence and certain biases.
The user experienced some hair regrowth using twice daily topical 5% minoxidil and once daily oral 1mg finasteride, along with dermarolling. They plan to continue this regimen for at least two years and may try additional treatments if needed.
Finasteride improved hair appearance over seven years with no major side effects. Users discussed finasteride, minoxidil, and supplements like beta carotene and astaxanthin for hair loss treatment.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil. The user is considering adding minoxidil to their regimen after using finasteride and dutasteride without significant results, while others suggest minoxidil is essential for diffuse thinning.
Some people respond better to minoxidil due to higher enzyme levels converting it to its active form. Minoxidil helps with hair regrowth but doesn't prevent hair loss; finasteride and other DHT inhibitors are needed for that.
