community Our Follicles, who art in hairven, hallowed be thy name; thy hairdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in hairven. Give us this day our daily regrowth.

community Dental technician is convinced that he has found the cause of pattern hair loss

community How does some people revive their scalps with minoxidil only?
Some people respond better to minoxidil due to higher enzyme levels converting it to its active form. Minoxidil helps with hair regrowth but doesn't prevent hair loss; finasteride and other DHT inhibitors are needed for that.
