A user shared their hair loss experience and treatment routine, which includes using Minoxidil (5% Rogainefoam) and Dutasteride 0.5, along with various supplements and natural oils. They reported positive results and emphasized the importance of liver health and thyroid function, despite skepticism from others about the effectiveness of supplements.
A user experienced significant hair loss after using Rogainefoam purchased from Amazon, which failed a bleach test for Minoxidil. They discovered that even legitimate Rogaine products might be faulty and advised buying from reputable sources.
The conversation discusses using Rogaine (minoxidil foam) for hair loss, with questions about enhancing its effectiveness with tretinoin or retinol and incorporating dermarolling. The user has been using finasteride for 7 years and is considering starting minoxidil despite concerns about shedding.
The user started using Minoxidil 5% foam and plans to begin finasteride in December, noticing less shedding but uncertain about regrowth after three weeks. Others suggest it takes at least 3-6 months to see significant results, with some recommending adding finasteride and possibly switching to oral Minoxidil.
The user has been using homemade topical finasteride for over 2 years with no side effects and Rogainefoam, considering a hair transplant in a year. They are contemplating whether to continue the current treatment, switch to oral finasteride with or without RU58841, and are unsure about potential side effects of oral medication.
