Caffeineintake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
Minoxidil and caffeine may interact, affecting hair growth results. Users shared mixed experiences, with some noticing improvements without caffeine and others still seeing results despite coffee consumption.
Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.
The conversation discusses alternative hair loss treatments beyond the commonly used Minoxidil and Finasteride. One user is trying diclofenac gel, caffeine + antioxidant serum, finasteride, ketoconazole shampoo, and has stopped using Minoxidil due to ineffectiveness, while another user has adopted lifestyle changes like exercise, diet, stress reduction, and topical caffeine, along with scalp massages and microneedling.
