PP405 shows significantly better early-stage hair regrowth results compared to minoxidil and finasteride, with 31% of users experiencing over 20% density increase in 4–8 weeks. Minoxidil and finasteride show minimal or no visible regrowth in the same timeframe.
Alpecin Caffeine shampoo is ineffective for stopping hair loss, with unreliable supporting research. Finasteride is effective in reducing hair loss by lowering DHT levels.
User noticed scalp showing at 26, started finasteride at 28, and saw hair improvement by 30. Others shared similar experiences and advised trusting personal observations and trying finasteride early to prevent further hair loss.
Switching from topical to oral minoxidil, specifically using split dosing, led to significant hair regrowth and reduced side effects for the user. The combination of oral minoxidil and finasteride proved more effective than previous topical treatments.
Tretinoin can make minoxidil more effective for hair loss treatment, but some users did not see improved hairdensity with this combination and had better results with dutasteride.
