research Evaluation of DNA Variants Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Potential to Predict Male Pattern Baldness
This study found that a genetic test using 5 to 20 SNPs can predict male pattern baldness with variable accuracy in European men, especially those aged 50 and older.
research “Toupee or not Toupee?” Sic (et Non). Social perceptions of Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
In this study, 13 men with male pattern baldness were rated significantly more attractive and somewhat healthier when wearing a custom-made toupee, with higher attractiveness ratings coming from male judges than female judges.

5 / 43 resultscommunity Does creatine really speed up hair loss if you have male pattern baldness?
Creatine is not proven to cause hair loss, but some report increased shedding, especially with male pattern baldness. Finasteride or minoxidil are suggested to counteract potential hair loss while using creatine.
community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
community Anyone immediately lose hope for gt20029 when they realised it’s developed by kintor
The conversation discusses various hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide, alfatrodial, and nizoral, with a focus on the potential of new treatments like gt20029 and breezula. There is optimism about novel treatments that don't have systemic effects, although skepticism remains about the effectiveness of some new drugs.
community Almost 9 months on only finasteride. 18M. Is this progress?
An 18-year-old is using finasteride for hair loss prevention despite having a healthy hairline. Opinions are mixed, with some advising against its use at his age and others supporting his proactive approach.
community How I recovered from 4+ years of severe balding ages 20-24 by dieting, lifestyle changes and ONLY using topical minoxidil
A user reversed severe hair loss with dieting, lifestyle changes, and topical minoxidil, highlighting reduced inflammation and body fat. The conversation debates finasteride's effectiveness and the impact of diet and lifestyle on hair health.

5 / 801 results- What is male pattern baldness? Male pattern baldness is a genetic condition causing hair loss in men, starting with a receding hairline.
- What causes male pattern baldness? Male pattern baldness is caused by genetic sensitivity to the hormone DHT.
- Can male pattern baldness be prevented? Male pattern baldness cannot be completely prevented, but treatments can slow its progression.
- Can Nanoxidil help with both male and female pattern baldness? Nanoxidil may help with both male and female pattern baldness, but lacks FDA approval.
- Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
