Finasteride is interesting because it works pretty much the same across ALL DOSAGES. There is no reason to take Finasteride daily, I used to take it daily until I read a few more of the posts about Finasteride on this forum. Finasteride blocks DHT receptors for about 3 days. I take 1mg every 3...

I understand that there are different phases of hair growth, but not one of these phases has actually been shown to be a strictly shedding phase. In other words, there is no phase of hair growth in which the hair MUST fall out. All hair loss is unnatural. All hair shedding is not normal. If...

Bump, would still like some replies and more answers to this question.

Hmm, interesting. What hormones do MTF take to transition? Just estrogen/estradiol? There's so little information about what Estrogen does with hair follicles if anything, and too much focus on DHT (which is obviously not the entire picture either.)

This study abstract claims that Estrogen NEGATIVELY affects a WOMAN'S hair follicle: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0040124 Since Finasteride raises Estrogen, and Estrogen can negatively affect the phases of hair growth, can this be the reason why some people...

Have you personally noticed more hair loss when stressed out? Stress obviously takes on many forms but often times it is in the form of work/employment stress or relationship issues or conflict within your relationships. Stress is also often an accomplice to hair loss/balding, although even...

I do NOT wash my hair daily

Itchy scalp + smell = FUNGUS. You had a fungal infection of the scalp, which is why Head & Shoulders cleared it up.

Like on the monkey bars. Can I force all the blood in my body to go to my scalp if I hang long enough?

Link to S5 cream? I also already have the spironolactone pills on hand, whereas S5 would be yet another product I'd have to buy

How is combing dead keratin supposed to increase hemoglobin and NO in the scalp?

Hair loss always has a Fat-Loss/Adipose-loss component. This is presumably why black girls oil their scalp regularly.

Stop using all hairspray immediately. I used hairspray for 4 years daily to school and it only fucks your scalp/hair up long term. I stopped using hairspray for many years, and hair got slightly better. But then I recently started using hairspray when I went out and I noticed same thing -...

I have a bunch of spare Spironolactone. Are there any studies on TOPICAL Spironolactone? I will not be consuming or ingesting spironolactone, please do not suggest that. If I crush the pills and add it to shampoo will it do anything?

YES! OBVIOUSLY Rough combing, either to get "knots" or hair-product out can definitely TUG at the hair follicle and PLUCK it out. The same concept as tweezing your hair. Sometimes people with long hair will get their hair tangled in a brush or hair-scrunchie or hairband and when they take it...
