A 26-year-old male experiencing hair knotting and breakage has been using finasteride for 7 months, noticing some improvement. He uses keto shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and argan oil, and is considering adding minoxidil and vitamins for hair strength.
Shampoos can help with thinning hair by improving scalp health and reducing breakage, but they can't address genetic or hormonal causes. Effective treatments often include using topical minoxidil and finasteride, while the right shampoo varies per individual needs.
Castor oil is being considered for hair thinning, with some users noting it may prevent hairbreakage but not affect DHT-related hair loss. Some users report mixed results, with one mentioning increased body hair growth from oral consumption.
The conversation discusses using minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, with concerns about hair damage from massaging minoxidil into the scalp. Users suggest gentle application to avoid breakage and note that shedding is common after starting finasteride.
Silk pillowcases reduce hairbreakage and shedding by causing less friction, making hair appear healthier. They don't prevent hair loss but improve hair condition and comfort.
