People discuss hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, sharing experiences and side effects. Opinions vary on combining treatments, with some skeptical and others reporting success.

community 18m, already balding. Is a hair system the way to go? I don’t have the strength to go bald this young

in Hair Systems 148 upvotes 8 months ago

An 18-year-old with early hair loss is advised to consider minoxidil and finasteride, with a doctor's consultation recommended. Alternatives like a hair system or shaving are suggested due to potential medication side effects and lifelong commitment.

community Justin Trudeau really is one lucky guy

in Satire 233 upvotes 1 year ago

Justin Trudeau's full head of hair at 53 is humorously attributed to unpredictable genetics and possible use of finasteride. The conversation jokes about a resemblance to Fidel Castro, suggesting genetic luck or treatment use.
