Indian dermatologists recommend treating common hairloss with a balanced diet, stress reduction, mild shampoos, and sometimes minoxidil and supplements.
Balancing hormones, particularly testosterone and DHT, may prevent hairloss and slow aging. Treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, zinc, magnesium, collagen, and natural DHT-blocking shampoos.
User maintained hair with finasteride for 6 months, then switched to dutasteride for 7 months, using DHT blocking shampoo, keto 2% shampoo, and microneedling. Significant hair growth observed, especially on right temple.
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hairloss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
Hairloss treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Salon products and supplements generally don't work for hair regrowth unless there's a severe nutritional deficiency, while hormonal treatments like estrogen and spironolactone can be effective.
