Breezula (clascoterone) and Formula 82F (topical finasteride) are treatments for hair loss that block DHT differently; Breezula competes with DHT at the hormone receptor site without systemic effects, while 82F inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Breezula may work for those who don't respond to finasteride and vice versa.

The user is experiencing scalp irritation from using RU58841 with a 70% ethanol and 30% propylene glycol vehicle and is considering switching to a less irritating vehicle, such as 30% ethanol with 70% squalane or emu oil. They are seeking feedback on the effectiveness and irritation levels of these alternative carriers.

A user is seeking a brush for dry, thick hair that can effectively stimulate the scalp and distribute natural oils. Another user recommends a "wet" brand detangling brush that works well for their coarse, dry hair and helps distribute argan oil to the scalp.

The post discusses diluting 100ml of 0.1% topical finasteride with 90ml of stemoxydine to create a 0.05% solution, aiming for a longer-lasting and potentially less side-effect-prone treatment. The user seeks feedback on this idea.

User plans to switch from oral to .005% topical finasteride, using a solvent from minoxidilmax and later Essengen-F. They will monitor DHT levels and seek advice on solvents and sleep caps.

The user mixed Pyrilutamide with a KB solution and noticed some undissolved powder, questioning if more shaking or liquid is needed. They use Pyrilutamide from Anagenic.

The conversation discusses the best ethanol and propylene glycol ratio for homemade topical finasteride, with a focus on absorption and drying issues. The user shares their experience using a 50% propylene glycol, 30% ethanol, and 20% water solution, and considers adjusting the ethanol content for better results.

The conversation discusses the sale of a premixed KY19382 solution for research purposes, highlighting previous unsuccessful group buys and the formulation process. Prices and purchasing options for KY19382 solutions and powder are provided.

The conversation discusses creating a 0.01% topical dutasteride solution mixed with minoxidil for hair loss treatment, with concerns about absorption and effectiveness. Some users suggest that dutasteride needs specific formulation for better absorption, while others recommend oral use for practicality.

The conversation discusses the differences between KB solution and PG + Ethanol solution for RU58841 in treating hair loss. It compares the effectiveness and properties of these two solutions.

The post discusses a user's hair loss treatment journey over a year, using finasteride, dutasteride (dut), and oral minoxidil (min). The user found finasteride ineffective, switched to dutasteride and oral minoxidil, and noticed improvements, but couldn't determine which of the latter two treatments was most effective.

A user is considering mixing fast-drying minoxidil with Kirkland minoxidil to reduce greasiness and drying time. They also use liquid minoxidil to apply RU58841 powder.

The user is using 0.1% dutasteride, 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.005% caffeine in the morning, and 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.01% tretinoin at night. They are concerned about the solution vehicle's effectiveness in preventing systemic absorption and ensuring the products stay around the hair follicles.

The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.

The conversation discusses the user's observation of their hair appearing less bald after showering compared to when they wake up. They use a biotin and keratin conditioner and ketoconazole twice a week, while others suggest the difference in appearance could be due to oil build-up or the hair's response to water.

The user underwent a biopsy two years ago and was diagnosed with keratosis pilaris, leading to hair issues. They tried treatments including Minoxidil, betamethasone, lymecycline, topical Accutane, and dutasteride, as well as diet changes, without improvement in hair thickness or skin dryness.

The user discusses their experience with diffuse unpatterned alopecia and acquired progressive hair kinkering, noting improvements with treatments including biotin, pantothenic acid, finasteride, ketoconazole, and zinc pyrithione shampoo. They report thicker, healthier hair and improved scalp condition, attributing success mainly to biotin, pantothenic acid, and finasteride.

A user noticed watery semen and decreased volume after a week of using finasteride and asked if taking Zinc, pygeum, and lecithin supplements would affect finasteride's effectiveness. The conversation is about the side effects of finasteride and potential supplements to counteract them.

OP mixed RU58841 with minoxidil and noticed undissolved particles. They are seeking advice on whether it matters or how to fully dissolve it.

The conversation is about making a solution of RU58841 using propanediol instead of propylene glycol due to skin irritation. The user seeks advice on whether this substitution is acceptable.

The conversation discusses the lack of public information on the chemical structure of PP405, a hair loss treatment, and the challenges of synthesizing it without a patent. It also explores a patent related to hydrogen-based topical formulations for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

RU-58841 does not dissolve well in common Minoxidil solutions due to water content, requiring a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol mix. Users report using separate solutions for RU-58841 and finasteride/Minoxidil for better results.

He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.

PG solvent is considered superior to K&B solvent for RU58841 and Pyralutamide due to cost and effectiveness. The user questions why they should use K&B when PG offers more benefits.

The conversation is about whether finasteride can be mixed with just water for a topical solution and if Isopropyl Alcohol and Propylene Glycol are necessary for effectiveness and faster drying. The user is seeking advice on the formulation of topical finasteride.

A user shared progress pictures showing improvement from NW6 diffuse to NW1 after 5 months of finasteride and 2 months of dutasteride. Another user asked if these treatments affected beard or body hair thickness.

User asks if washing hair or using hair fibers after minoxidil dries is okay and if dry scalp means full absorption. Some doctors and sources say 50-75% absorption occurs after an hour.
