Finasteride can help extend the hairgrowth cycle and improve hair density, allowing for long hair despite initial shedding. Periodic shedding may occur, but it typically does not affect healthy hair significantly.
Treatments for hair loss, including topical dutasteride minoxidil, tretonin, dermarolling, serioxyl, and redensyl over a period of 3 months; switching from RU58841 to pyrilutamide was suggested with potentially less risk of systemic side effects; and encouragement to not give up hope.
A user experienced significant hair regrowth after improving their diet, getting sunlight, taking a multivitamin, and exercising, following a period of extreme calorie restriction and hair shedding. Others in the conversation attribute the hair regrowth to increased calorie intake rather than just vitamins.
A user is developing a tool to track hair density, aiming to help those using treatments like minoxidil. They seek feedback on the tool's usefulness and are considering a low-cost model to cover expenses.
Oral minoxidil significantly increases hairgrowth, including facial hair, in a short period. Some users suggest combining it with finasteride for better long-term results, despite potential side effects.
