Hairfollicles don't truly die but become severely miniaturized. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can help restore hair by providing nutrients and reducing harmful effects on hairroots.
RootBioTec, a basil hairy root extract, claims to reduce hair loss by 31% in two months by inhibiting 5α reductase II and stimulating hairfollicles. There is limited independent information available about its effectiveness.
Hair regrowth from treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can take several years, with most visible results appearing within 1-2 years and potential improvements continuing up to 10 years. Consistency and patience are crucial for achieving maximum hair thickness, as hair miniaturization and regrowth are gradual processes.
Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hairfollicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.
