Sebaceous glands can form new hair follicles when activated, but hair follicle bulges cannot.
research The Ludwig Pattern of Androgenetic Alopecia Is Due to a Hierarchy of Androgen Sensitivity Within Follicular Units That Leads to Selective Miniaturization and a Reduction in the Number of Terminal Hairs Per Follicular Unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.

research The Ludwig Pattern of Androgenetic Alopecia Is Due to a Hierarchy of Androgen Sensitivity Within Follicular Units That Leads to Selective Miniaturization and a Reduction in the Number of Terminal Hairs Per Follicular Unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss results from varying androgen sensitivity, causing fewer thick hairs and more thin hairs.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How is scalp sensitivity even measured?
There are no tests to determine genetic follicle sensitivity for hair loss, and conclusions are based on hypothetical or post-balding observations. Finasteride is mentioned as an easy, consistent treatment option compared to natural treatments.
community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
community Never used Fin; What if I do a HT and take Fin and then "wake up" the natural follicles?
A 31-year-old man with a long history of hair care is considering a hair transplant and is worried about using Finasteride and Minoxidil due to potential side effects. He seeks advice on whether to start Finasteride before or after a transplant and how to test for sensitivity to these treatments.
community why are beard gains on min usually permanent?
Beard gains from minoxidil are usually permanent due to facial hair follicles' lower sensitivity to DHT. Scalp hair requires ongoing DHT suppression with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 to maintain gains after stopping minoxidil.
community The rate of Scalp DHT suppression does not reduce hair miniaturization at the same rate
Reducing scalp DHT doesn't directly correlate with preventing hair miniaturization, as different follicles have varying sensitivity levels. Dutasteride at 0.5 mg and 2.5 mg shows minimal visual difference in hair regrowth, with side effects being a consideration for higher doses.
