research Maintenance of Optimized Hair Growth from Viable Terminal Scalp Hair Follicles at Baseline with Oral Finasteride in Male Pattern Hair Loss and First Evidence of a Drug Dependency and a Post-Finasteride Rebound Effect
Finasteride helps hair growth but stopping it causes faster hair loss.
research Exhaustive Analysis of Scalp Hair Regression: Subjective and Objective Perception from Initial Hair Loss to Severe Miniaturization and Drug-Induced Regrowth
Hair loss reduces hair thickness and coverage, but drug treatments mainly revive dormant hairs rather than reverse thinning; patients often undervalue their hair loss severity.
research Development of a Novel, Clinically Relevant Model for Investigating Factors That Stimulate Human Hair Growth
Testosterone stimulates growth in intermediate hair follicles, but this can be blocked by cyproterone acetate.
research Expression of the L-Fucose Moiety on Infrainfundibular Follicular Keratinocytes of Terminal Follicles, Its Decreased Expression on Vellus and Indeterminate Follicles of Androgenetic Alopecia, and Re-Expression in Drug-Induced Hair Regrowth
Sugar molecule helps hair growth, less in balding, returns with treatment.
research The Proportion of Catagen and Telogen Hair Follicles in Occipital Scalp of Male Androgenetic Alopecia Patients: Challenging the Established Dogma
The belief about hair shedding phases is likely incorrect and needs reevaluation.

5 / 652 resultscommunity 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 BREAKTHROUGH: I’m a radiochemist and discovered a radioactive isotope scalp serum that OUTPERFORMS Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors! (Lab Data Inside)
A satirical post where someone claims to have developed a radioactive isotope scalp serum using Polonium-210 that outperforms Minoxidil and finasteride for hair regrowth. The serum reportedly stimulates DNA repair in hair follicles, leading to significant hair density increase, but the post is met with skepticism and concerns about safety.
community If Minoxidil Beards are permanent, why should Finasteride be unable to keep Minoxidil Gains on the scalp?
Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201
PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.
