High DHEA levels may contribute to hair loss by increasing DHT in hair follicles, potentially explaining why finasteride is ineffective for some. Treatments like high-dose dutasteride and RU58841 are suggested, but the underlying cause, such as adrenal issues, should be investigated.
The user is seeking help with using Ell-Cranell for hair loss treatment. They are unsure about the correct application method and dosage. They also inquire about combining microneedling with topical alfatradiol and question a study that referred to alfatradiol as a hair growth inhibitor in male mice.
The conversation discusses hair loss and the potential impact of diet and lifestyle changes, particularly increased protein intake, on hair health. The original poster shared their experience of improved hair appearance after weight loss and dietary changes, despite skepticism from others about lighting differences in photos and the effectiveness of diet alone without finasteride or minoxidil.
PP405 shows promise in treating severe hair loss, with 31% of users experiencing over 20% hair density increase in four weeks, faster than minoxidil and finasteride. Some users are skeptical about the results' significance and long-term efficacy.
