A user with thinning, curly, dry hair is seeking affordable shampoo and conditioner recommendations. They are using oral minoxidil and apply argan oil, but dislike products with keratin and biotin, and another user suggests ketoconazole shampoo for added density and DHT blocking.

The conversation discusses skepticism towards unconventional hair loss remedies, emphasizing the effectiveness of proven treatments like oral DHT blockers, topical minoxidil, and finasteride. It criticizes misleading advice and highlights the importance of starting effective treatments early.

Fluridil was abandoned due to its weak effectiveness and low binding affinity to the androgen receptor, making it less competitive against DHT and testosterone. Users discuss its limited results compared to other treatments like pyrilutamide and RU58841.

Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.

The user experiencing diffuse hair loss is using various treatments including RU58841, finasteride, minoxidil with tretinoin, anti-hair loss shampoo, and microneedling, and is considering adding peptides TB500, BPC157, and GHK-Cu. They have low growth hormone levels and are questioning its impact on hair loss, while another user suggests androgenic alopecia and androgens are likely the main cause of hair loss.

Hair loss discussion includes DIY HMI-115 and its high cost (20-30k per person). Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 mentioned as treatments.

Finasteride helped stop hair loss progression and slightly thickened hair, but reduced beard and chest hair growth. The user also uses ketoconazole shampoo for scalp itchiness.

The user is seeking advice on which hair growth oil to add to their current regimen of finasteride, Nizoral, and micro-needling. They are considering oils with ingredients like biotin, caffeine, castor oil, rosemary oil, hemp, coconut, olive, lavender, peppermint, aloe, horsetail, vitamin B5, rosehip seed, and algae.

A user with aggressive hair thinning is considering how to handle a coworker's interest in them. They are using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride, and are debating whether to keep using hair fibers, shave their head, or get a hair system.

Hair loss treatments are difficult because hair follicles react differently to hormones and have varying growth cycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

The user is using Dutasteride, Nizoral, and RU58841 for hair loss and is considering mixing RU58841 with Stemoxydine for better scalp coverage but is concerned about the potential degradation of RU58841 when mixed with a water-based solution. They are seeking advice on the feasibility of this mixture.

Minoxidil alone is not effective for significant hair regrowth; combining it with finasteride or dutasteride is necessary. Additional treatments like hair transplants, microneedling, or oral medications are recommended for better results.

A user with mild psoriasis on the scalp is using finasteride, topical minoxidil, and dermarolling for hair loss but plans to stop minoxidil on the crown due to psoriasis aggravation. Suggestions include switching to a lipid-based minoxidil, using Ketoconazole shampoo, or trying oral minoxidil.

A user plans to experiment with creating new hair follicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.

Finasteride, a hair loss treatment, was observed to reduce scalp oiliness in users. Anti-androgens like Finasteride are known to decrease the activity of oil-producing glands.

The user switched from topical Minoxidil and Finasteride to oral Finasteride and reduced testosterone, expecting to lower DHT, but instead, DHT increased and hair loss worsened. The user is seeking advice on whether to return to the previous topical treatment or if others have experienced similar issues with oral Finasteride while on TRT.

DHT in the scalp, not the bloodstream, is crucial for hair loss. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and microneedling.

Creatine may cause hair shedding and texture changes, with mixed user experiences. Combining creatine with finasteride doesn't always prevent these effects, possibly due to individual DHT sensitivity.

People are using finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride for hair thinning, with some recommending oral forms. Other products like IntelliGent shampoo, CeraVe 1% zinc shampoo, and conditioners are mentioned, but they are seen as supplemental to DHT blockers.

The conversation humorously discusses inducing goosebumps to potentially reverse hair loss, with mentions of using cold therapy and muscle exercises. It also references other unconventional ideas like removing a testicle to lower DHT.

Finasteride stopped scalp itching and improved hair health, likely due to reduced DHT. Users discussed the relationship between DHT, itching, and hair loss, with some mentioning minoxidil and antifungal treatments like ketoconazole.

Nizoral causes scalp and face itchiness and flakes. Piroctone olamine is suggested as an alternative.

Minoxidil increases hair count despite high prolactin being linked to hair loss. Blocking DHT is effective, but not always necessary; HMI-115 is a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

A 38-year-old is considering using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss, despite already having significantly reduced DHT levels. They are unsure whether to try finasteride, minoxidil, or topical finasteride to see if it affects their hair loss progression.

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

Topical finasteride and minoxidil, combined with microneedling, are recommended for treating thinning hair areas, with 1-2 sprays daily being effective and having fewer side effects than oral finasteride. Starting microneedling at 1.0mm is advised for effectiveness while minimizing invasiveness.

A user shared their hair loss treatment routine, which includes minoxidil, finasteride, ketoconazole, biotin, dutasteride, and RU58841. They recommend starting with topical sprays and mentioned using a new combo spray from Hims UK.

Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.

The user is experiencing one-sided diffuse thinning and has been using finasteride and liquid minoxidil for 4-5 years with minimal results. They are considering whether to save for a hair transplant or address scalp sensitivity and irritation first.

A user is experiencing hair loss and is using Morr F 5% Minoxidil, Finasteride Lipid Solution, ketoconazole shampoo, and biotin tablets. They seek advice on the correct application method and hair partitioning.
