5 / 1000+ resultscommunity I find it funny a bunch of us on here are on drugs for hairloss and maintain clean/healthy lives and then there’s these mf’s in the 90’s juiced to the gills with steroids and have better hair than all of us lol
The conversation is about the effects of steroids on hair loss. Some users believe that steroids can cause hair loss, while others argue that it depends on individual sensitivity to DHT. There is also discussion about the appearance of balding individuals who use steroids.
community ~5 months topical minoxidil + oral finasteride results (swipe images). Slacked with minoxidil this past month, trying to wean off anyways. My last update because I’m hopping off fin and switching to RU in a few weeks (nothing to do with fin efficacy, just experimenting).
The user experienced significant hair thickening after using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for about 5 months and is considering switching from finasteride to RU58841. Other users encourage the original poster to continue the current treatment due to the positive results.

community Smoking – Why Dutasteride may not be working
Dutasteride works for most men, but some may experience worsening due to reasons like shedding, paranoia, non-androgenic alopecia, genetic variations, or smoking. Smoking can increase scalp DHT levels and damage follicles.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
