5 / 394 resultscommunity Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
community (comment) providing facts on people talking nonsense about minoxidil and BP-medicaton in general
Minoxidil is used for hair loss and sometimes for high blood pressure, but it's outdated for the latter. For high blood pressure, it's combined with a beta blocker and diuretic to manage side effects.
community I experimented with every medication for hair loss for at least 1 year. my thoughts.
Minoxidil effective for regrowth but causes dryness; finasteride stops hair loss but may affect hormones; dutasteride powerful but reduces libido; RU58841 thickens hair but expensive and risky; dermarolling improves blood flow and results; aminexil overrated and not effective. Dermarolling beneficial with both minoxidil and finasteride.

However, there are warnings about potential risks and interactions with other medications, so caution should be exercised.
