A user noticed their hair became curly after using ketoconazole shampoo and wonders if the shampoo caused the change. They like the new curls and want to maintain them.
The conversation discusses a user experiencing short, curly, wiry hair above and behind the ears, linking it to pattern baldness. The user suggests starting treatment early but personally chose not to pursue treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 due to the hassle.
The user has trouble applying minoxidil foam to their long, curlyhair and experiences product buildup, leading to frequent hair washing. They are considering switching to liquid minoxidil but are concerned about scalp sensitivity and do not want to use oral treatments. Another user suggests that topical minoxidil doesn't need to be applied to the entire scalp to be effective.
A user reported using 1.25mg finasteride daily for 9 months with positive hair growth results and increased libido but slower beard growth. Other users commented on the appearance of straightened vs. natural curlyhair and potential hair damage from straightening.
