A user started using minoxidil and noticed a significant reduction in hairfall after two days. Other users expressed skepticism, suggesting that results typically take longer and may initially increase hair shedding.
A 24-year-old experienced reduced hair loss with finasteride and minoxidil initially, but hair loss increased again after a few months. They switched to dutasteride and minoxidil, saw temporary improvement, but faced increased shedding again, seeking advice on next steps.
Graduate08 has been using topical finasteride since August 2020 to treat hair loss, initially every other day and now daily, with no significant side effects and some reduction in hairfall. They plan to continue this treatment and may add minoxidil if their condition worsens.
The user shared a 7-year hair progress journey, starting with occasional minoxidil use and later including a finasteride prescription, online prescriptions, and microneedling. Significant hair growth was achieved, but side effects led to a reduction in medication dosage.
The conversation is about the effectiveness of Dutasteride (Dut) and Minoxidil (Min) in reversing hair thinning. The user has been using Dut for 3 months and Min for a couple of years, and while hairfall has reduced, thinning continues. Other users suggest that Dut can reverse hair thinning over time, possibly beyond a year, and the outcome depends on individual body reactions and the degree of hair miniaturization.
