Hair is growing faster after 2 weeks of using topical vitamin D3 in alcohol/oil. The user plans to continue the experiment for 3 months before giving a full review.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using topical finasteride/minoxidil and oral minoxidil/dutasteride, with some mild side effects that diminished over time. They plan to add microneedling to their regimen and have seen hair shedding cycles every six months, followed by thicker regrowth.
A 35-year-old man used minoxidil 5% and biotin 5000 mcg for six months, resulting in significant hair regrowth. He experienced initial shedding but avoided finasteride due to potential side effects.
Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hair follicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.
The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss and noticed elevated cholesterol levels, questioning if dutasteride caused this change. They also take Vitamin D, biotin, magnesium, ginkgo biloba, omega-3, and NAC, and are concerned about the impact of these supplements and their health on cholesterol levels.
The conversation discusses various supplements and vitamins like Vitamin D3, K2, Biotin, Iron, Zinc, and B Vitamins for improving hair health. It also mentions a combination of Tocotrienols, Pycnogenol, Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Stinging Nettle, and Myricetin for stabilizing hair, with Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, and Stinging Nettle noted for thickening hair despite side effects.
A user is experiencing genetic hair loss and is using spironolactone and minoxidil without success. They are considering switching to vegan protein powder due to digestive issues and are concerned if it will worsen hair loss.
Adding creatine while using finasteride and minoxidil caused skin irritation and hair thinning. Creatine may affect DHT levels, leading to these issues.
A 27-year-old male with AGA and diffused thinning has been using oral Minoxidil, Finasteride, Vitamin D, B12, Iron, and Ketoconazole shampoo. Despite a hair transplant and improved blood levels, he continues to experience hair loss and suspects a possible misdiagnosis of Alopecia Areata Incognita.
New hair growth from minoxidil and finasteride is not reaching full length, possibly due to slow growth cycles. Users discuss dosing strategies for oral minoxidil to improve efficacy and minimize side effects, with advice against consuming topical minoxidil orally.
