6 Months On Finasteride = Hairline Receded Back A Full Norwood

If DHT is the only cause of hair loss, duta would stop hair loss in all cases, which is not true.
Hair loss is caused by sensitivity to androgens. T and DHT are both androgens.

but females lose hair too , and they have very little dht and testosterone .

Everyone is slowly loosing their hair. Cells in your body can only divide themselves a limited amount of times. You will always find thinner hair in people who are old.

There may be other causes than DHT and testosterone. Other hormones, stress, bad scalp health, diseases/disorders etc.

I believe I've read multiple times that female hair loss cause is unknown, although some AA drugs help slow female hair loss.
You could say you're lucky that you're a male experiencing hair loss. But, we're not.

dude finasteride doesn’t regrow hair, it just maintains. your hair looks the same in all the pics. it’s a pause button moreso then a regrowth pill. i’m sorry , maybe you hopped on a little late. if it stays the same for a year consider a transplant

I've heard people at my stage of loss can sometimes get regrowth after a year. Idk. Could duta work?

I've had a dry flaky scalp for a long time.. Even using conditioner. Air is dry where i live

 

[Jpon541]

like do you have pics of before you started finasteride? might not be getting worse could just be staying the same, in which case, finasteride is working

I do but my hair is longer and not brushed back so i can't tell.

Yet it is much more manageable to he a man with hair loss than a woman with hair loss - which is sad. The struggle of hair loss is mainly a struggle created by society and for now is more accepting of men losing hair than women losing hair.

throw in ru and your hairloss will most likely stop. You need something blocking the androgens from attacking the hair follicles

Too bad permanently blocking androgen receptors upregulates the receptors causing faster balding long term. Refute this.

I still want to know if this theory has been proven.

Wrong. If it was the case, NSAA would be useless for prostate cancer.

Conditioner doesn't help your scalp that much. You need a good shampoo for dry scalp and hair. "Define Healthy Scalp & Hair" noticeably reduced my dandruff and itchy scalp. Massage it good down into the scalp and let it work while you you soap you're body, like 1-3 minutes. Start washing your body off and then the shampoo lastly. Wash your hair with conditioner if you want after that for less dry hair.

Is this shampoo sulfate and paraben free? I have to be careful

Looks like they changed the name on that shampoo. It's called "Define Mild & Sensitive Shampoo" now, "against dry and itchy scalp, without perfume, reduces dandruff".

It does not seem to contain any paraben when I read the ingredients. But it say's it contains sodium laureth sulfate and zinc sulfate. Do you mean just "sulphate" or?

But I don't know if you can get "define" were you live, cause it's scandinavian.

 

[Jpon541]

Nope won't work then. Sodium sulfates wreak havoc on my scalp. I use artnaturals argan oil shampoo. It's all natural and i use lipogaine big 5 conditioner which is as well.
