research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss results from varying androgen sensitivity, causing fewer thick hairs and more thin hairs.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Turning vellus hairs into terminal hair
People are discussing hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, to turn vellus hairs into terminal hairs. Some users also mention using antibiotics, oral minoxidil, dutasteride, DHT blockers, biotin, and natural remedies like onion juice and seeds to improve hair growth.
community Why don't Minoxidil regenerated hairs become terminal on the head?
Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.
community Terminal hairs growing in, but derm still says I’m going to go bald in the years to come??
A 30-year-old woman with a history of anemia and low vitamin D experienced hair shedding, which improved after addressing nutrient deficiencies. Despite regrowth of terminal hairs, her dermatologist recommended treatments like minoxidil and spironolactone to prevent future bald spots, but she is cautious due to family history of hormone-related cancers.
community If all these vellus hairs turn terminal I’m gonna be a chewbacca
The user is using minoxidil, finasteride, dermarolling, and other treatments for hair regrowth, showing promising results in the temple area. Despite some skepticism, there is optimism about potential improvement.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
