5 / 772 resultscommunity DHT is required to convert vellus hair into terminal hair?
Finasteride and Dutasteride block DHT, which is needed for vellus hair to become terminal on the beard but not on the scalp. The user considered using DHT cream but learned it's unnecessary for scalp hair.
community Will PP405 need to be used indefinitely, like minoxidil?
PP405 may not need daily use like minoxidil, but finasteride might still be needed to maintain hair regrowth. PP405 reawakens dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a long-term solution, though not a permanent cure.
community Copper Peptides—Discussion
Copper peptides, specifically GHK-Cu, are discussed as a potential addition to hair loss treatments, possibly working synergistically with Minoxidil to convert vellus hair into terminal hair. The effectiveness and credibility of copper peptides are questioned due to the lack of widespread discussion and potential conflict of interest from the product's creator.

community Sandalore experiment
A user added sandalore to minoxidil for hair loss, observing some vellus hair growth and less scalp inflammation. Others tried sandalore with mixed results, discussing dosage and effectiveness compared to minoxidil and finasteride.
