research Viable Terminal Scalp Hair Follicles Are Necessary and Sufficient for Clinical Efficacy of Finasteride in Male Pattern Hair Loss
Finasteride works for hair loss by maintaining existing hair follicles, not reversing miniaturization.
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 Androgen Regulation of the Human Hair Follicle: The Type I Hair Keratin hHa7 Is a Direct Target Gene in Trichocytes
The hHa7 gene is regulated by androgens in certain body hair, not scalp hair.
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.

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.

4 months ago A 20-year-old is experiencing hair thinning and seeks advice on starting treatment and regrowing hair. They are considering using Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841.
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 why are beard gains on min usually permanent?
Beard gains from minoxidil are usually permanent due to facial hair follicles' lower sensitivity to DHT. Scalp hair requires ongoing DHT suppression with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 to maintain gains after stopping minoxidil.
community It is kind of diabolical how this works
DHT promotes hair growth in certain areas but causes scalp hair loss, highlighting a frustrating irony. Minoxidil is mentioned as a treatment that grows hair everywhere, including the scalp.
