Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community Any other diffuse thinners hate swimming?
People who experience diffuse thinning of their hair and how they cope with going swimming. People discussed wearing a swimming cap, making jokes out of it and accepting that it's genetics.
community 7 months évolution of finasteride / zinc / vitamin D/ minoxidil / microneedling treatment
User experienced hair loss improvement after 7 months using finasteride, zinc, vitamin D, minoxidil, and microneedling. Others praised the progress and discussed the importance of zinc and vitamin D in hair health.
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 Why is human evolution like this 😂
Why androgenic alopecia affects the scalp rather than other body parts, potential explanations for this phenomenon, treatments available to combat hair loss, and the implications of male attractiveness in modern society.
