The "open punch" technique for hair transplantation can help reduce damage to hair grafts and may be especially useful for beginners and in cases with curly hair.
Finasteride can help extend the hair growth cycle and improve hair density, allowing for longhair despite initial shedding. Periodic shedding may occur, but it typically does not affect healthy hair significantly.
PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
PP405 is anticipated as a future treatment for dormant hair follicles, but its effectiveness and safety are uncertain. Current treatments include oral minoxidil and microneedling, with some avoiding finasteride due to side effects.
A user experienced significant hair regrowth after using 1mg of finasteride daily for a year, avoiding minoxidil due to its toxicity to cats. They attributed success to quitting smoking, a better diet, and reduced stress, with only watery semen as a side effect.
Hair follicles often go dormant rather than die, and treatments like minoxidil can help revive them. Scalp health and stimulation, such as massages and using products like sulphur soap, are also important for hair regrowth.
