GlossaryWhite Hairs

White hairs are strands of hair that lack pigment due to a decrease in melanin production, often associated with aging or genetic factors. In the context of hair loss, the appearance of white hairs can indicate a transition in hair follicle health and function, as well as changes in the body's overall biological processes. Key distinguishing characteristics include their texture, which may differ from pigmented hair, and their tendency to be more brittle or coarse. The presence of white hairs can also serve as a visual marker for the onset of conditions like alopecia areata or other forms of hair loss.

community How come beard hair on minoxidil is permanent while scalp hair while on it under fin/duta is not?

in Minoxidil 50 upvotes 1 year ago

Beard hair grown with minoxidil can become permanent because it is not sensitive to DHT, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing minoxidil use even with DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride.
