5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Do you think people of previous generations had better hair? What changed?
Hair loss is less common now due to accessible treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants. Improved hair care, skincare, and lifestyle changes contribute to people looking younger today.
community Some common misconceptions about why there have been no breakthroughs in treatments for so long and why a one and done cure is almost impossible.
Developing new hair loss treatments is challenging due to the complexity and cost of trials, and a permanent cure is unlikely soon. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are used continuously because hair loss is progressive, and future possibilities include gene editing and hair cloning.
community Which markers and nutrients could contribute to hair health in context of checking for deficiencies?
Hair loss is primarily genetic, and nutrient deficiencies are unlikely to be the cause. DHT inhibitors can slow hair loss, but concerns about side effects are common.
