Timi, ive used dutasteride without Minoxidil and got great results.

But i got some side effects.


Timi, try using Aromasin ( estrogen inhibitor ) with dutasteride and you most likely wont have the water retention or puffy face.


If your face is swolen, then you are ALLERGIC to dutasteride.

No i am back to finasteride
the side effects to big
That is no Way for my Live
My health is more important to me

and maybe ALLERGIC to dutasteride
when i take a dutasteride i become a red burning face and aqueous eyes-slimy eyes

finasteride have ten Years works good for me

JayMan did not add dutasteride to his regimen until he had marked success with just dutasteride and nizoral.

So no chance of mistaking minoxidil success for dutasteride success there... and there's no way nizoral could have grown hair like that.

Works very well for some people...

Duta inibits Alpha 5 Reductase type 1 thath is expressed in sebaceous glands and in the keratinocities. So, if this inibition is too strong, in some genotypes, the hairs appears very dry (like straw) and without body because sebum an keratina are destroyed...

Prove it

The expression of 5 alpha reductase type 1 in the humman's tissues is under investigation but it seems that this enzyme is expressed in sebaceous glands, melanocities, keratinocities, brain and in the spinal cord...
I'm not the only one who tested very dry skin, hair like straw with high dosqage of Dutasteride and I think that this explanation is reasonable.
If you had any other options to explain this effects I'm here...
Thanks

I certainly had the dry hair scalp effect on every day dose as I have greasy hair skin normally and needs washing every day.

It was too dry on every day so I moved to EOD and now twice a week and hair is more normal texture....What hair is left..had to have it cut hair again as its so thin..now its only and inch long at max...think I am getting to buzz stage soon :( . Come on dutasteride, why arn't you working for me...its never kicking in...

I'll ask you the same question I always ask my friend Armando: why is it that even though small children produce little or no sebum, they still don't have "hair like straw"?

Is Andrea one of Armando's subscribers?

I don't know for sure, but I suppose he could be.

It's fascinating, isn't it, that there are several different theories about an alleged purpose or function for sebum in human skin? Armando is convinced that sebum is necessary for hair growth (he says flatly that "Without sebum, there is no hair"), while Andrea seems to think that a lack of sebum causes hair to be "like straw". On acne sites, everybody seems to be convinced that sebum maintains moisture in the skin, keeping it well-hydrated. Many of those same people are also convinced that sebum acts as an anti-microbial agent for the skin, fighting the growth of bacteria and fungi.

But the truth is that sebum does absolutely NONE of those things! Not a single one of them! And all you have to do to see the truth of that is to think about CHILDREN. Pre-pubertal children produce little or no detectable sebum, and yet they have flourishing scalp hair which isn't "like straw", and they have excellent, well-hydrated skin, and they don't have to worry about skin infections (not until they start producing lots of sebum as teenagers and start to get acne! :shock: ).

It would save me soooo much time and effort on both hairloss sites and acne sites if people would simply stop and ask themselves, "What about the children?" :)

Well Bryan,
I'm not Armando or another person.
My poor English don't help me...

So, the dry skin or hair is a problem which develop after puberty, it's no doubt...

The children have moisturized hair and beaoutifoul skin but the hair is very thin and clueless.
Have you ever view a man or a woman without hair's problems? The hairs is more more thicker than they was children... the same is the skin.
So, Dutas could caused a brutal change in sebaceous glands and an excessive dry is a temporaney syntom of this new hormonale situation in the gland.

What do you think about the dry hair, skin ecc.. that SOME PEOPLE have with high dosage of dutas?

Some people used Duta to acne problem with great results in Italian sites...

Often during the develop of the body the hair change colour and structure and this maybe is an effect of hormones that stimulating more or less sebaceous glands, melanocities,keratinocities ecc..
Children have hair lighter than adults.
Often the patients who takes "Roaccutan" that reduces the dimesion of sebaceous gland, says that his skin and hair became more more dry!!!!!
The dry skin and hair is often a genetic problem (less activity of the glands) and the Dutas could exasperate this condition because DHT stimulate the sebaceous glands...
In conclusion I don't think absolutely that the sebum plays a role in GROWTH of hair, but in the texture and in quality of hair and in the protection of the skin but is very important a right dose of sebum...
Why "mother nature" give us sebum :) ?

Sorry for my English

Bye
