Are people with darker hair better responders to Propecia?

[Costanzo]

Hey,

I'm 1 month into Propecia.

And as I read some of the success stories I noticed that a lot of the super responders had darker hair.

I've also read that darker hair grows quicker than blond hair, and dark hair is thicker.

Can we conclude that people with darker hair can be better responders to hair loss treatments such as Propecia or minoxidil?

No. Genetics determine your response to the drug.

I always wonder if that came about since all the test subjects shown on the Merck Propecia website all have black hair.

Dark hair shows the contrast between the bare scalp better than lighter hair.

I don't know man , but blondes have generally more hair follicles then Darker haired people so it kind of evens it out eh?
