community Does regrowth always start as thin hairs? Do hairs thicken as they grow or do they need to shed and then come back to get thicker?

in Chat 32 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair regrowth can start as thin hairs that may thicken over time, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil showing varied results. Some users report initial shedding followed by thicker regrowth, while others experience mixed outcomes in different areas.

community Longer, thicker peach fuzz -- is this a sign of hairline regrowth?

4 upvotes 7 years ago

community Second shed ended (I think) but the hairs are not blended in just yet. I should see regrowth again this time right… Over the next few months 👀 1st pic before shed, 2nd pic after shed. I see some smaller hairs looking like they can awaken from the demons and thicken up.👏

learn Stemoxydine

How long does it usually take to see thicker hair with stemoxydine products? The manufacturer's three-month studies, run in men only and published as a conference abstract, measured a density increase at about 12 weeks, so roughly three months is the earliest point supported by evidence. Nothing beyond three months has been tested in a controlled trial, and the change measured is extra visible hairs rather than regrowth of lost follicles.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Can Scalp Micropigmentation actually make hair look thicker, or is it just a cosmetic illusion? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of thicker hair by reducing scalp visibility.

learn Centella

Can centella improve scalp blood flow and thicken hair? What the evidence says There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.

learn Omega 3

Can a shampoo with omega-3s help thicken those early thinning spots? No published trial shows that omega-3 shampoos thicken hair. Some may feel pleasant on the scalp, but that is a cosmetic effect.

learn horsetail extract

How long should you use horsetail extract before noticing stronger or thicker hair? No published trial has tested horsetail extract for hair thinning, so no evidence-based timeline exists; the hair cycle means any supplement needs at least three months, and more realistically five to six, before a change could be visible at all.
