Minoxidil and finasteride can both cause initial hair shedding, but they work differently; minoxidil promotes hair growth, while finasteride improves the hormonalenvironment. Starting finasteride after minoxidil may trigger additional shedding, but it often leads to improved regrowth.
Hair regrowth in transfems is more effective due to hormonal changes, specifically estrogen, which keeps hair in growth phase longer. Treatments mentioned include anti-androgens, sex hormones, and DHT blockers like finasteride.
Hair loss is influenced by scalp tension, stress, and environmental factors, not just hormones. Treatments like tretinoin, microneedling, scalp massage, and Botox can reduce tension and improve hair health.
DHT promotes beard growth but causes scalp hair loss due to inflammation and fibrosis. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil help with hormonal signals and blood flow but don't address underlying inflammation.
Hair loss is worsening despite using finasteride, oral minoxidil, and rosemary oil, possibly due to stress, hormone changes, and environmental factors. Improvement was noted with a soft water filter, but recent stress may have exacerbated the issue.
