The user improved their hair density and reduced scalp visibility by using 1% ketoconazole shampoo, 1mg finasteride, and 5% minoxidil, which increased their confidence. Replies discuss the effects of these treatments, with one clarifying that minoxidil does not affect hormones but finasteride does.
community For all those worried about a minoxidil break
Stopping minoxidil can lead to significant hair loss, but resuming it along with finasteride can help regain lost hair over time. Consistency is key for maintaining hair health and regrowth.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community Minoxidil and Caffeine - opposite effects yet comboed together?
Minoxidil and caffeine are discussed for hair loss treatment. The user questions the logic of combining them due to their opposing effects on adenosine receptors.
community Aminexil - is it possible that if you stop using it you lose more hair than you had originally?
Aminexil is used to strengthen hair roots but stopping it may lead to hair thinning, unlike minoxidil which has more complex effects. The user did not use finasteride or minoxidil due to concerns about side effects.
