Hair cloning is seen as a distant and potentially less relevant solution for hair loss due to its high cost, invasiveness, and the advancement of other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride. Many believe that by the time hair cloning becomes viable, other less invasive and more effective treatments will be available.
Topical finasteride may reduce more scalp DHT but is seen as inconsistent and messy compared to oral finasteride. Users report mixed results with both forms, with some preferring oral for its convenience and consistent dosing, while others find topical effective but harder to apply.
Hair loss without a white bulb may indicate mechanical damage, anagen effluvium, alopecia areata, or traction alopecia. Seeking a specialist is recommended, but access can be difficult in smaller areas.
