    hair follicles with a natural bend, producing curly or wavy hair

    Curved hair follicles refer to hair follicles that are not straight but have a natural curve or bend. This curvature can influence the shape and texture of the hair that grows from them, often resulting in wavy, curly, or coiled hair. The degree of curvature is determined by genetic factors and can affect how hair is managed and styled.

      community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  92 upvotes 1 year ago
      Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.

      Curly and wavy hair can make hair loss appear worse due to clumping, but using less product, shorter cuts, and leave-in conditioner can help manage appearance. Minoxidil and finasteride are considered for treatment, and some find that styling can hide thinning areas.
