    I was able to grow my hair back with liittleextra reactivate hair growth serum. Taken 3 months apart. First one in Jan, second in March. It's important to apply the serum directly to the scalp and massage into scalp with very little pressure. Do not pull on your hair. The hair coming in seems to be good quality. There's been less hair fall over all. I use at night, the serum does not make your hair greasy, but you only need a few drops to work - less is more. Additionally, switched pillows cases to a satin material so that sleep is easier on my hair.

      @@irfanm5892 actually, it makes more sense to say that we are the product of genetic mutations and environmental filtration over time without any help of a personal God. It isn't some purposeful blessing to lose your hair. It just sucks and life would be better if it didn't happen. The fact that some people just lose hair because they happen to have the genes and the body for it is a strike AGAINST the notion that there is an all powerful, all knowing and all loving god in our lives. Regarding the moon: it took hundreds of thousands of years of humans being ignorant of outerspace and what the moon really is before people finally came up with the scientific method and finally discovered everything needed to actually travel to the moon. If there was a loving God, then maybe the truth of the moon and outerspace would have been revealed hundreds of thousands of years earlier in a holy text or something. It wasn't. You find NOTHING in holy texts that is unexpected based on the cultures of the times they were written. Nothing about DNA, for instance. Humans had to figure it out after thousands of years of people living and dying in ignorance. People were even killed by religious people for talking about how the orbit of the earth in relation to other things works. The best we can do is depend on each other and recognize that we are all we have. Then we can have compassion and work on the many problems we face (like hair loss).

And how should we as patients approach this fact.

      A big disadvantage of oral minoxidil that a lot of men won’t like is that it increases body hair all over, rather that just on the scalp. For men who do not want to become more hairy, that’s a big downside. Topical minoxidil will always be superior overall, in my opinion. People complain about the liquid making hair difficult to style…So apply it at night is the solution.

    I started Finasteride September 2020 at 1mg EOD. Noticed that it slowed my hair loss dramatically but was still losing ground over time.
    I then added Minoxidil August last year 1x per day and have noticed over the last 6 month's the hair that was thinner, is now thickening.
    My current regime is; 1mg Fin 3x per week, minoxidil 1x per day.
    I've managed to find my minimum effective amount of medication, with zero side effects, and to save money, all of which i see as a result. And it's all thanks to the education from this channel. Without watching these video's in 2020 my hair loss would be so much worse thinking Finasteride was the devil and minoxidil would be too expensive at 2x per day.

    I take 2.5mg of oral minoxidil in the morning and 2.5mg at night. I believe 1mg of oral minoxidil is equivalent to around using topical. No side effects- just thicker healthier hair and revived follicles. More hair all over body and more facial hair. I will say I did by a $20 auto blood pressure measure on Amazon to take the before and after just to be safe. Loved it so far. Needs to be discussed more bc I actually feel like it has little to no side effect at small doses.

      @@The_Voice_of_Reason748 I don't know any. The only related thing that comes to mind is a study called "Hair regrowth in male and female pattern hair loss does not involve the conversion of vellus hair to terminal hair". They propose that what we call "regrowth" isn't actually turning peach fuzz hairs into terminals but rather it's about awakening follicles that are stuck in a prolonged kenogen phase due to mpb. That's one of the reasons I use stemoxydine along fin/min. I'm surprised they insist on this 50% thing cause I see a lot of hairs gaining pigment after only 2,5 months after adding min/stemox once a day. Like if they continue to mature I might have a shot at moving from early NW2 back to NW1 within a year or 2.

    Guys, remember that if you cannot handle the side effects of taking finasteride or dutasteride, there is another option. Very low dose topical finasteride sees to work, and side effects are minimal if not non existent. Just remember to apply on all the areas of the scalp where hair loss is common. This is the key in my opinion. The trick is to make the solution to where you can apply more than a 1 ml drop full. You have to think outside the box with hair loss, and do not give up the fight.

      Finasteride blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the latter of which causes male pattern baldness in men who are genetically susceptible. It doesn't block hormones, testosterone levels should increase slightly if less is being converted into DHT.
