Hair transplants can initially yield good results, but native hair is more reliable, and transplanted hair may still be lost over time. Early intervention with treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil is recommended, but it's important to start with lower doses and manage expectations realistically.
community This is what some balding dudes are like
Some people avoid finasteride due to side effects but engage in unhealthy habits. Minoxidil and finasteride are common hair loss treatments, with varied side effect experiences.
community Sometimes, the problem is the hair structure…
A 24-year-old shared his hair loss journey, using finasteride and topical minoxidil for 6 months with positive results and no side effects. He recommends growing hair out and getting a good haircut to improve appearance and confidence.
community How does some people revive their scalps with minoxidil only?
Some people respond better to minoxidil due to higher enzyme levels converting it to its active form. Minoxidil helps with hair regrowth but doesn't prevent hair loss; finasteride and other DHT inhibitors are needed for that.
community Some confusion over my last post. I’m definitely getting more hair than before but it’s definitely not 100% there yet
User reports more hair growth after 2.5 months using oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, though new hair is thinner. Others praise the progress and express hope.
