    GlossaryBraids (Hair braiding)

    interwoven strands of hair forming a cohesive pattern

    Braids, also known as plaits, are a hairstyle created by interweaving three or more strands of hair. This technique not only serves aesthetic purposes but can also protect the hair from damage and tangling. Braiding can vary in complexity, from simple three-strand braids to intricate patterns like French braids, Dutch braids, and cornrows, each requiring different levels of skill and technique.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  18 upvotes 6 days ago
      The user has been on dutasteride for 4.5 months after switching from finasteride due to hair thinning, and is experiencing significant hair loss despite also using minoxidil and microneedling. Many responses suggest that dutasteride takes time to show results, often requiring patience for up to a year or more, and recommend not stopping finasteride abruptly to avoid shedding.
