Beard hair grown with minoxidil can become permanent because it is not sensitive to DHT, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing minoxidil use even with DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride. Dutasteride reduces scalp DHT significantly but not completely, which may explain why scalp hair still needs minoxidil for maintenance.
