community Hair Loss “Cure” for Inflammation: Topical Roflumilast
Topical roflumilast is effective for reducing inflammation in various scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema, but not proven to stop scarring alopecia. Alternatives like apremilast and Vtama are also discussed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
community One year into a healthier hair routine
The user improved hair health using natural products and plans to start using minoxidil, finasteride, and derma stamping for further hairline improvement. They wash hair weekly with Sweet Ginger shampoo and use Bamboo Charcoal for deep cleansing, while conditioning twice a week.
community Why don’t more people use hair fibers?
Hair fibers can effectively cover thinning hair when used with minoxidil and hairspray but require daily application and can be inconvenient in certain conditions. Some users prefer treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, or wigs due to the maintenance and limitations of hair fibers.
community does anyone else feel like the standard "big 3" just makes your hair look worse before anything good actually happens?
Using the "big three" hair loss treatments (Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Ketoconazole) can initially make hair look worse, often causing dryness and a "straw" texture. Adjusting the routine with gentler shampoos and conditioners can improve hair appearance while waiting for the treatments to show results.
