learn Finasteride

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
Does stopping finasteride mean losing all progress? Here's what really happens. Studies and the drug label report that finasteride's benefit lasts only while it is taken: after stopping, scalp DHT returns to baseline and hair loss resumes over roughly 6 to 12 months. Stopping a prescription drug is a decision to make with the prescriber.

learn Ketoconazole

Does ketoconazole really help with hair loss? Ketoconazole may help reduce hair loss by inhibiting DHT and reducing scalp inflammation.

learn Castor oil

Does castor oil make hair grow or is it just a myth? There is no published human trial showing castor oil grows hair. It can make hair look and feel better by reducing breakage and adding shine, which is easily mistaken for growth, and it is not approved anywhere as a hair loss treatment.
Does any castor oil work or do you have to look for a special one? Cold-pressed castor oil is generally more effective for hair growth than others.
