Keratin microspheres may offer additional mechanisms to combat hair loss compared to minoxidil. The process to create these microspheres is relatively simple and can be done at home with basic equipment.
community Balding absolutely ruined my life at 17.
A user is struggling with hair loss at 17 and has been using finasteride for 5 months and minoxidil for 11 months without seeing regrowth. Other users encourage continuing treatment, sharing their own experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling, and emphasizing patience and acceptance.
community I bought a microscope, how does my scalp/hairs look? I've been suffering diffuse thinning and hair loss after covid and never recovered (2 yrs ago) I eat healthy, in shape and workout.
A person with hair loss since COVID-19 is considering treatments like finasteride and minoxidil but is hesitant due to potential side effects. Suggestions include visiting a dermatologist, using a ketoconazole shampoo, and considering that post-COVID hair loss might be an autoimmune response.
community creatine has not effected my hair
Creatine generally does not affect hair loss, but some report increased shedding due to higher DHT levels. Many manage hair loss with dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.
community Are carbohydrates needed for hair growth
A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hair growth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.
