Hair loss treatments are difficult because hair follicles react differently to hormones and have varying growthcycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses the slow transition from baby hair to normal hair while using finasteride and transitioning to dutasteride, with progress except for the crown area. It's mentioned that hair thickening can take years, with each growthcycle potentially making the hair thicker, and this process can span over 6 months or more.
The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hairgrowth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hairgrowth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
The conclusion of the conversation is that experiencing shedding while using finasteride and minoxidil is a common occurrence, and it is likely a part of the hairgrowthcycle. Many users have reported regrowth and improvement in their hair density after the shedding phase.
User "Chemical_Elephant_70" shares 2.5 months progress with finasteride. Some users doubt results, mentioning use of topical minoxidil and questioning hairgrowthcycle.
Hair loss discussion mentions losing 50 strands daily as normal, but varies for individuals. Some users joke about hair loss in other areas, while others emphasize individual differences and haircycle length.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Propecia, Rogaine, Nizoral shampoo, and dermarolling. Users shared experiences and results, with some noticing improvements in hairgrowth and maintenance.
Dutasteride, especially at higher doses, is considered more effective than Minoxidil for hair regrowth by blocking DHT, which causes hair loss. Combining Dutasteride with Minoxidil may enhance hair recovery by prolonging the hairgrowth phase.
SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hairgrowth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
The conversation discusses the possibility of transplanting leg and arm hair to the scalp for hair loss treatment. Minoxidil is mentioned as a potential aid for hairgrowth, but concerns about the effectiveness and appearance of body hair on the head are raised.
A 20-year-old male's significant hairgrowth after two months of using 0.25mg Finasteride. The discussion includes varying opinions on the effectiveness and side effects of the treatment, with some users planning to try or adjust their Finasteride dosage.
A 19-year-old user shared impressive hairgrowth results after using 5% topical minoxidil foam and 1mg finasteride for two months, along with vitamin D. They recommend this regimen for others, noting significant improvements in hair thickness and health.
Finasteride stops hair loss by blocking DHT, while Minoxidil promotes hairgrowth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Using both can help regrow hair, but results vary by individual.
Minoxidil alone is not enough for long-term hairgrowth without a DHT blocker like finasteride or dutasteride. Users suggest trying lower doses of finasteride or switching to dutasteride to manage side effects and improve results.
Finasteride prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT, while minoxidil stimulates hairgrowth by prolonging the active phase of hair follicles. Stopping minoxidil can lead to loss of regrown hair because finasteride does not address the same growth mechanism.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth after using oral and topical minoxidil and finasteride for over three months. They reported minimal side effects, such as facial hairgrowth and minor bloating, and are optimistic about continued progress.
Following a Ray Peat diet led to less hair fall, thicker hair, and new hairgrowth at bald spots. The diet included stopping Omega 3 supplements, eating liver, increasing fruit, sugar, and saturated fat intake, and occasionally consuming coffee, tea, raw carrots, and shellfish.
User xEternex tries hair regrowth with daily broccoli sprouts, apple extract containing procyanidin b2, and microneedling. Others discuss potential issues with the experiment and share their experiences with vegetable consumption and hairgrowth.
The regimen for hair loss includes topical finasteride, clascoterone, tretinoin, minoxidil, oral saw palmetto, beta-sitosterol, vitamin D, microneedling, and anti-fungal shampoo. Expected benefits are increased hairgrowth and density, with considerations for potential skin irritation and interactions between treatments.
Checking vitamin and hormone levels is important for addressing hair loss, as deficiencies in vitamin D, zinc, and iron can affect hairgrowth. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamin supplements are used, but addressing deficiencies is crucial for effectiveness.
The post and conversation are about the user's experience with oral minoxidil for hair loss. Some users noticed increased hair density, while others experienced unwanted hairgrowth in different areas of the body.
A 31-year-old male experienced hair thinning and initially used topical minoxidil, then switched to finasteride, which caused significant shedding.

The user, Salty-Peace-577, shared their 5-month update on using 0.5mg oral finasteride and 2.5mg oral minoxidil for hair loss. They experienced significant hairgrowth, particularly in their eyebrows, and shared their regimen and tips for hairgrowth. Some users in the conversation also discussed the side effects they experienced with different dosages of the medications.
Hair loss treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling. Users advise patience, noting initial shedding is common and treatments take time to show results.
The conversation discusses ongoing hair loss while using finasteride (Fin) and concerns about potential interactions with Hydrocortisone Butyrate. The consensus is that shedding is normal and it can take 1-1.5 years to see results from finasteride.
Hair regrowth from treatments like minoxidil, RU58841, and finasteride is not permanent; stopping these treatments typically results in hair loss resuming. Beard hair can become permanent with minoxidil use, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing treatment to maintain gains.
