Finasteride stops hair loss by blocking DHT, while Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Using both can help regrow hair, but results vary by individual.
A user shared their 10.5-month progress using oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, a derma roller, biotin, and Omega 3, despite losing over 150 hairs daily. They also mentioned starting "bald showers" after leg workouts for the last two months.
The conversation is about someone who has been taking finasteride for hair loss without success, considering switching to dutasteride or giving up treatment. Suggestions include trying dutasteride, microneedling, infrared therapy, multivitamins, and high-concentration topical solutions combining finasteride and dutasteride.
The user has been experiencing hair loss since having COVID and has low vitamin D levels; they are seeing some improvement in their crown and hairline after starting vitamin D supplements. Commenters suggest the hair loss pattern is consistent with male pattern baldness (MPD) and varies by individual.
People use keto shampoo 2-3 times per week and often apply conditioner after, including keratin, collagen, and biotin types. Results show improvement after a month.
