Is Minoxidil Really That Great For Diffuse Thinners?

[Apis1996]

I've read a lot of storys from guys who said that diffuse thinners don't need Finasteride and can Thicken/Maintain on Minoxidil and Nizoral alone.
Is this really true?

Well what minoxidil does is increase the density of each existing hair follicle. If you are a diffuse thinner you have miniaturization all over, so minoxidil will help bring all the miniaturized follicles closer to their original thick state.

In the long run, no. It will only keep what you have on top for so long, until DHT overpowers it over time, which eventually will lead to a bald scalp. That's why I always suggest to have a dht blocker like finasteride when using minoxidil. At least it will prolong the balding process, much longer than without it

If you are a responder than yeah it works a lot better for diffusing vs receeding.
