5 / 246 resultscommunity Need suggestions for a copper peptide hair serum
A user plans to create a copper peptide hair serum with GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu, considering adding 5% minoxidil but avoiding finasteride and dutasteride. They seek suggestions for improving the product without complicating it.
community ~6 years on Fin + 3 years of Min. Seeing zero progress.
The user has been using finasteride for six years and minoxidil for three years with no noticeable hair regrowth. Suggestions include switching to dutasteride, considering a hair transplant, and trying microneedling.
community I’ve been on dutesteride and oral minoxidil for two years now and I’ve only lost ground…
A user on dutasteride and oral minoxidil for two years reports worsening hair loss and is seeking advice. Suggestions include consulting a professional for underlying causes, acknowledging that treatments don't work for everyone, and considering dosage adjustments or additional treatments.
community Why is minoxidil the “regrowth stimulant” and finasteride “the maintenance”, when official studies show more growth on finasteride ?
Finasteride is more effective for long-term hair maintenance by addressing the root cause of hair loss, while minoxidil acts as a growth stimulant with faster visible results. Combining both treatments is optimal, with oral minoxidil often showing better results for some individuals.
community Hair regrowth attempt. Age 33 after 10 years bald.
A 33-year-old attempted hair regrowth after 10 years of baldness using topical finasteride, minoxidil, micro-needling, a laser cap, and later oral dutasteride. They noticed some regrowth, especially vellus hairs, and are considering a hair transplant or other treatments despite side effects.
