      community Comeback is real from NW7?

      in Treatment  69 upvotes 4 years ago
      A 25-year-old who started losing hair at 16 and reached almost NW7 by 20 saw hair regrowth using a regimen including dutasteride, minoxidil, nizoral, and a dermaroller, along with supplements like biotin, zinc, and omega-3. After initial success, they experienced shedding, added more supplements and treatments, and sought advice on whether to continue; responses encouraged them to persist as shedding is often part of the hair regrowth cycle.

      community Why is it "not right" to start off with Dutasteride?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  60 upvotes 5 months ago
      The conversation discusses whether it's better to start hair loss treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Opinions vary, but many suggest starting with finasteride due to its shorter half-life and easier management of side effects, while others argue dutasteride is more effective and has fewer side effects.
