community The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men

136 upvotes 1 year ago

Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.

community Destined for Baldness; there’s one thing that made the difference

58 upvotes 3 years ago

User fought hair loss with Derminator microneedling, topical and oral minoxidil, and a 2000 FUE hair transplant. Derminator was a game changer, preventing further loss.

community Does someone like Prince William have such intense balding genetics that not even Dutasteride can save them?

in Chat 113 upvotes 1 year ago

Some men have strong balding genetics that treatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil, or Finasteride may not fully address. Early intervention is believed to help, but many accept hair loss without treatment.

community Creatine and Hair loss

6 upvotes 6 years ago

Creatine may be linked to hair loss, possibly due to contamination with steroids. Users suggest avoiding creatine if it causes hair loss, as mislabeled products could be the issue.

community My Timeline From 11-1-21 to 2-24-24

1 upvotes 2 years ago

The user has been using Rogaine, 1mg Finasteride, Biotin, Vitamin B and D, Thera M Plus, Collagen, and 2% Ketoconazole weekly for hair loss, with a brief period of using fake Minoxidil. They are not satisfied with their progress and seek advice on using Rogaine Foam effectively.

learn Vitamin B1

Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.
