3 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community How long does it take after an environmental / lifestyle change for hair loss to actually slow down?
Lifestyle changes may not significantly impact hair loss, as factors like DHT and genetics play a larger role. Some users suggest treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and microneedling for hair growth.
community Minoxidil: How It Changes the Scalp Hormone Environment
Minoxidil increases blood supply to the scalp, strengthening dormant follicles and extending the growth phase, but may increase scalp activity that can be countered with DHT blockers. Women experiencing side effects from finasteride or dutasteride for hair loss might consider alternatives like estrogen, especially if on birth control.
