Hair texture changes, such as hair becoming curly, are common when using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users report various experiences with these treatments, including changes in hair density and texture, with some using additional products like alfatrodial, fluridil, and pyrilutamide for hair maintenance.
Finasteride changed the user's hair texture from wavy to curly, reverting after stopping. Minoxidil was more effective for temple hair regrowth than finasteride.
Some prefer hair systems for better appearance and confidence, while others find them costly and inauthentic. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are also considered.
NAD⁺ precursors and EGCG may increase hair density, but users report mixed results with no significant hair gains. Some users suggest combining these with finasteride or dutasteride for better results.
GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
