Hair loss treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Salon products and supplements generally don't work for hair regrowth unless there's a severe nutritional deficiency, while hormonal treatments like estrogen and spironolactone can be effective.
Saw palmetto, derma pen, rosemary oil, scalp massages, pumpkin seed oil, green tea extract, and B complex are discussed as natural treatments for hair loss, with mixed results reported. Some users consider adding finasteride for more effective results.
Diet can influence hair health, but male pattern baldness (MPB) is primarily genetic. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
A 20-year-old shared their experience of reversing hair loss without using minoxidil or finasteride, instead relying on supplements like biotin, collagen, fish oil, saw palmetto, and various vitamins. They emphasized the importance of a balanced supplement schedule and noted improvements in hair health without experiencing additional shedding.
The conversation suggests that changing diet and lifestyle has little to no effect on male pattern baldness (MPB), which is largely determined by genetics. Some individuals noted personal improvements in hair condition with healthier diets, but the consensus is that diet alone cannot prevent or reverse MPB.
