HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
Moringa extract and oil are suggested to help with hair loss, with some users combining it with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. Moringa is claimed to improve hair growth and health, but evidence is mostly anecdotal.
Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
A user's 2.5 year hair loss progress with Minoxidil, dermarolling, and Nizoral treatments, as well as taking biotin and a multivitamin supplement, with the intention of trying DIY topical finasteride in the future.
