Diet changes alone are unlikely to reverse hair loss, as some users report no improvement without medical treatments like finasteride. A disciplined diet high in nutrients may support overall health, but finasteride is noted for effectively reversing hair thinning.
A user shared their progress after taking 1mg oral finasteride daily for a year, reporting significant hair improvement without side effects. They recently started oral minoxidil and made dietary changes, including cutting out gluten and processedfoods, and taking supplements like multivitamins and zinc.
The user shared progress pictures after using topical finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin for about 9 months, along with weekly microneedling, cold showers, and a diet free of processedfoods. They reported no side effects.
Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processedfoods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
Hair loss discussion includes treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Conversation focuses on foods with sufficient procyanidin b2, such as dark chocolate and apples, and the required dosage.
