community How Fast Weight Loss Causes Hair Loss (and how to mitigate it)

43 upvotes 2 months ago

Rapid weight loss can cause hair loss due to a surge in free fatty acids and reduced protein intake, leading to Telogen effluvium. A safe weight loss rate is 0.5-1.2 lbs per week with adequate protein intake to mitigate hair loss.

community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

50 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 194 upvotes 1 year ago

Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.

community Dermastamp only with carrier/essential oil blend

16 upvotes 3 years ago

A user is documenting their natural approach to treating a receding hairline using a dermastamp, essential oils (rosemary oil at 3% dilution with pumpkin seed oil), a multivitamin with vitamin D, and daily collagen shakes. They acknowledge the common recommendations of minoxidil and finasteride but prefer to test natural methods and share their results.
