research The Ludwig Pattern of Androgenetic Alopecia Is Due to a Hierarchy of Androgen Sensitivity Within Follicular Units That Leads to Selective Miniaturization and a Reduction in the Number of Terminal Hairs Per Follicular Unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Mechanisms and Progression
Androgenetic alopecia causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to androgens, with the connection between the muscle and hair follicle determining if the loss is reversible.
research Miniaturized Hairs Maintain Contact With the Arrector Pili Muscle in Alopecia Areata but Not in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Model for Reversible Miniaturization and Potential for Hair Regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.

5 / 158 resultscommunity Almost 3 months on topical min/fin
A user shared their 3-month progress using topical minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, expressing hope for continued improvement. Others advised patience, suggesting adding micro-needling and waiting at least a year for significant results.
community my Body hair has stopped working
A user on dutasteride for hair loss noticed hair regrowth on their head but a significant reduction in body hair growth. They plan to switch to finasteride and dutasteride and are considering testosterone replacement therapy but are concerned about its effects on hair growth.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Why is dht bad for scalp hair but good for hair on the rest of body?
The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
community my density way below baseline and my temples still receding (8.5 months progress on fin/nizoral)
A user's progress with their hair loss treatment, which includes finasteride and nizoral, as well as the potential for using minoxidil; other users providing advice based on their own experiences; and others discussing how buzz cuts can make diffuse thinning look worse than it is.
