The conversation discusses the frustration of having excessive bodyhair while experiencing scalp hair loss, with mentions of treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants using bodyhair. Users share experiences and advice, noting the role of genetics and DHT in hair growth patterns.
Oral minoxidil can significantly increase eyelash length and thickness. Users report mixed results on hair growth, with some experiencing increased bodyhair.
Use minoxidil and finasteride for 1-2 years to promote regrowth and stabilize hair loss before a transplant. Long-term use of these medications is needed to maintain results and prevent further loss.
User experienced hair kinking after starting minoxidil, despite being on finasteride for two years. Another user confirmed similar issues and suggested switching brands due to propylene glycol in minoxidil.
A man lost his transplanted hair despite using minoxidil because he wasn't on a DHT blocker like finasteride, which is essential to prevent further hair loss. The conversation emphasizes that hair transplants are not a cure and require maintenance with medications to preserve results.
