community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community Progress: From June 2022 (7 months of min + fin) to now (1 year) — I’ve lost so much density in this period and I have no idea why. I was getting pretty good resultup until that point. Is there anything else I can try? I’ve tried min, fin, tretinoin, micro needling, and castor oil. I feel hopeless.
The user lost hair density after 7 months of using minoxidil and finasteride and is seeking advice on other treatments after trying tretinoin, microneedling, and castor oil. Suggestions include checking for scalp conditions like eczema or psoriasis, changing minoxidil brands, and questioning hair dryer use and finasteride dosage.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
