community Why do some people (specially those with diffuse balding) experience more regrowth just with DHT blockers?
Diffuse thinners often experience more hair regrowth with DHT blockers like finasteride, possibly due to less DHT sensitivity and the presence of miniaturized, not completely bald, follicles. However, regrowth varies widely among individuals, influenced by factors like genetics, the stage of hair loss, and treatment methods such as minoxidil, microneedling, and dermarolling.
