Hair loss can begin in early adolescence and cause mental anguish. Treatments mentioned include eating cruciferous vegetables, engaging in physical activity, and maintaining scalp hygiene.
community 20y, 4 months min, 7 months fin
A 20-year-old used 1 mg finasteride and liquid minoxidil, initially twice daily then once at night, to thicken hair, though temple regrowth was minimal. The user experienced no side effects and continued both treatments for hair improvement.
community Regrowth or continued regrowth or continued thinning? [Dutasteride+Oral minoxidil]
A user's concern with their hair thinning while using dutasteride and oral minoxidil, which was switched from finasteride and topical minoxidil after 13 months. The conversation includes advice surrounding potential results, specific treatments used, and side effects.
community My hair journey: 2017 through the present
A user shared their hair loss journey from 2017 to 2024, detailing the use of finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, supplements, and dermarolling. They experienced significant hair loss after stopping finasteride in 2017, saw some regrowth after resuming treatments in 2023, and are considering a hair transplant.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
