A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community Taking Charge of Your Hair: The "Big 3 Stack" Explained for 2023
The "Big 3 Stack" for hair loss treatment, which includes Minoxidil for hair density improvement, Ketoconazole shampoo for enhancing hair volume and thickness, and Finasteride for blocking hair loss causing hormones. Microneedling can boost Minoxidil's effects.
community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice
Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?
Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
