Did you mean Hair Cycle Synchronization?

Glossary Hair Cycle Synchronization

process where hair follicles enter same growth phase together

Hair Cycle Synchronization refers to the process where hair follicles on the scalp or other parts of the body enter the same phase of the hair growth cycle simultaneously. This can be induced by certain treatments or conditions and is often used in research to study hair growth patterns or in clinical settings to manage hair loss conditions like alopecia. For example, synchronizing hair follicles to the anagen (growth) phase can help in evaluating the effectiveness of hair growth treatments.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 4 months ago

The conversation discusses hair shedding while using 0.5 mg dutasteride daily for 8.5 months, with users sharing experiences of shedding various hair lengths and thicknesses. It is suggested that shedding can be part of the hair cycle synchronization and may not indicate worsening hair loss.

community Frustrating back and forth progress

in Is this regrowth? 161 upvotes 1 year ago

The user is experiencing fluctuating hair regrowth using oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, with the best results in the first four months. Suggestions include being patient through shedding cycles, considering oral minoxidil, and possibly adding dutasteride for stronger results.

community SCUBE3 and GT20029 could be the closet thing to a cure: Hair Follicle Regeneration and Protection Against DHT

14 upvotes 3 years ago

SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hair growth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

community Accelerated Hair Loss from Creatine

137 upvotes 10 months ago

Creatine may cause hair loss in some individuals, especially those on finasteride, despite no scientific link. Personal experiences suggest individual sensitivity to DHT could be a factor.

learn Rapamycin

Is rapamycin safe for long-term use on the scalp, or should it be used in cycles? There is no published human trial of topical rapamycin on the scalp, so nobody knows whether long-term use is safe; the idea of cycling it comes from community practice and theory, not from any study or guideline, and rapamycin for hair loss is an off-label use of a prescription immunosuppressant.
