Ashwagandha is generally considered safe for hair while on Dutasteride, as its effects on testosterone are minimal and it may reduce anxiety. Some users report positive effects on hair thickness and anxiety reduction when using ashwagandha alongside finasteride.
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hairloss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hairloss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
Dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels, potentially more effectively than finasteride, and is used to treat hairloss. Some users report side effects like reduced libido and mood changes, while others experience hair regrowth and increased testosterone.
A potential treatment for hairloss that involves injecting fat into the scalp; the role of testosterone and estrogen in thinning fat tissue under the skin; research on using lard to treat androgenic alopecia, as well as PRP + ACELL/amniotic stem cell treatments; and ongoing clinical trials by doctors involved in the study.
The DHT itch is linked to hairloss and persists despite finasteride use; switching to dutasteride helped alleviate the itch and promoted regrowth. Some users suggest seborrheic dermatitis as a cause and recommend treatments like medicated shampoos, vitamin D, and minoxidil.
