A topical solution called "Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density" by The Ordinary Company, which contains several ingredients that are used in alternatives to Minoxidil and was found to have better results than 5% Minoxidil in a study. People who have tried it shared their experiences with the serum as well.
community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
community (M24) ~5 years progress on Fin & Min. AMA
The user "LandB4TimeIn3D" shared their hair loss progress using finasteride (Fin) and minoxidil (Min). They experienced shedding for the first few years but saw significant regrowth after about 2-3 years. They also mentioned using topical liquid minoxidil twice a day.
