Moringa extract and oil are suggested to help with hairloss, with some users combining it with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. Moringa is claimed to improve hair growth and health, but evidence is mostly anecdotal.
The user is using a regimen including topical finasteride, ketoconazole, melatonin, keto shampoo, pyrilutamide, microneedling, and tretinoin for hairloss, and is considering switching to oral finasteride for convenience and potentially better results. Some users suggest switching to oral finasteride and checking for health issues like nutrient absorption, while others note maintenance or slight improvement in hair thickness.

Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hairloss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled.
