5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How come beard hair on minoxidil is permanent while scalp hair while on it under fin/duta is not?
Beard hair grown with minoxidil can become permanent because it is not sensitive to DHT, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing minoxidil use even with DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride. Dutasteride reduces scalp DHT significantly but not completely, which may explain why scalp hair still needs minoxidil for maintenance.
community Beard growth stunted due to DHT blockers
DHT blockers like dutasteride can reduce beard thickness while improving scalp hair. Using minoxidil on the beard may help maintain its thickness.
community My experience with fin and my unhealthy obsession with my hair m21
Finasteride helped stop hair loss progression and slightly thickened hair, but reduced beard and chest hair growth. The user also uses ketoconazole shampoo for scalp itchiness.
community My beard is getting worse since 3 months, patchy thin beard
Finasteride is likely causing beard thinning due to its anti-androgen effects, which reduce DHT levels necessary for thick facial hair. Some users suggest using minoxidil to potentially counteract this effect, while others note that stopping finasteride may allow the beard to regrow.
community Why does the same hormone grow your beard and destroy your hairline?
DHT promotes beard growth but causes scalp hair loss due to inflammation and fibrosis. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil help with hormonal signals and blood flow but don't address underlying inflammation.
