Maintaining scalphair and minimizing shedding, treatments used such as Procapil, supplements, topical caffeine, topical estrogen, and scalp massage; suggestions for anagen extenders or pharmaceuticals to help with a short anagen phase.
Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalphair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
Oral minoxidil is causing body hair growth but not improving scalphair, despite using dutasteride and finasteride. Users suggest waiting longer for results, checking vitamin levels, and considering additional treatments like topical minoxidil, dermarolling, and supplements.
The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalphair 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.
