A user experiencing diffuse thinning since age 18 describes their hair as unhealthy, dry, thin, and hard, with texture changes cycling between good and bad every few weeks. They are not on any medication, only taking vitamins and supplements.
The conversation is about the effectiveness of Dutasteride (Dut) and Minoxidil (Min) in reversing hairthinning. The user has been using Dut for 3 months and Min for a couple of years, and while hair fall has reduced, thinning continues. Other users suggest that Dut can reverse hairthinning over time, possibly beyond a year, and the outcome depends on individual body reactions and the degree of hair miniaturization.
A 17-year-old with thinninghair is considering using Revalid, a supplement with ingredients like biotin and zinc, based on parental recommendations. Another user suggests that supplements could help since the hairthinning doesn't seem to be androgenic alopecia.
User with thinninghair uses Toppik and wonders when to tell dates about it. Responses vary, some suggest not mentioning it, others recommend honesty after building a connection.
A user is seeking advice on shampoos and hair styling products to slow down hairthinning and avoid harmful chemicals. They currently use a biotin and collagen shampoo and are considering alternatives like wax or oils instead of gel.
