GlossaryTerminal Hair Growth

development of thick, pigmented hairs replacing finer vellus hairs

Terminal hair growth refers to the development of thick, pigmented hairs that replace the finer, lighter vellus hairs during puberty or in response to hormonal changes. These mature hairs are typically found on the scalp, face, armpits, and pubic area, and are influenced by androgens, particularly testosterone.

community Turning vellus hairs into terminal hair

in Research/Science 12 upvotes 1 year ago

People are discussing hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, to turn vellus hairs into terminal hairs. Some users also mention using antibiotics, oral minoxidil, dutasteride, DHT blockers, biotin, and natural remedies like onion juice and seeds to improve hair growth.

community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.

in Research/Science 55 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.

community Why don't Minoxidil regenerated hairs become terminal on the head?

in Minoxidil 101 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.
