community Can the ingredients in a sebum-regulating shampoo induce hair diameter reduction?
A user experienced hair thinning and scalp issues after using a sebum-regulating shampoo and perm treatments. They are advised to consider potential allergies, try a simple shampoo, and research treatments like finasteride for possible male pattern baldness.
community "When comparing 5% minoxidil with 0.60 mm or 1.20 mm needle lengths, Faghihi et al. found that 0.60 mm needle lengths led to significant hair count and diameter increases versus 5% minoxidil, whereas 1.20 mm needle lengths only saw hair count increases versus 5% minoxidil"
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
