5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 2 month progress pictures / July 2024 - September 2024 (promising results full backstory and routine in description)
A user shared their 2-month hair regrowth progress using 1mg finasteride daily, 5% minoxidil once daily, 1% nizoral shampoo twice a week, and weekly derma stamping. They reported significant improvement and no major side effects, with plans to consider dutasteride if needed.
community Genetics are so weird and unpredictable
The user experienced male pattern baldness starting at 18, tried finasteride with no success, and switched to dutasteride, which halted hair loss. Minoxidil had no effect for them, while their brother, who didn't use AR inhibitors, maintained a juvenile hairline and successfully grew a beard with minoxidil, highlighting the unpredictable nature of genetics in hair loss and treatment response.
community Hair loss and ethnicity - Caucasian men the most likely to experience hair loss
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
community Still not sure why men think diet has nothing to do with hair loss when scientific is quite the opposite [Link]
Diet can influence hair health, but male pattern baldness (MPB) is primarily genetic. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Is Fagron TrichoTest (first genetic test for hair loss) a SCAM?
