yes it is known that dht does not effect beard growth by any significant ammount only beard development
i dont want to derail your thread here, but your prob one of the smartest posters.
then how would Minoxidil promote beard growth? i just dont understand how that would be possible, with the scalp doesnt it just awaken old follices that died
minoxidil grows hair anywhere there are follicles. that is why it is a topical application. the pill version will grow hair everywhere, even in odd places you wouldn't expect there to be follicles like the earlobes/forehead.
so if u got folliceles on ur forehead or nose, pre minoxdil, why arent they growing hairs, but after treatment they do?
the hairs are there they are just too small and thin to be seen until minoxidil gives them a boost
the human body has more hairs on it than that of a gorilla, the difference is the size of the hairs
hi zzzz
have you noticed thinning above the side burns and or along the nape hair (retrograde alopecia) not dupa. apparently its very common with diffuse thinning and i have a similar pattern
so your saying these areas are also sensitive to androgen's in some people or could it be some other alopecia? because my donor area hasn't thinned except behind the ears and above the sideburns which resembles retrograde alopecia although i'm scared it might be dupa in addition to Androgenetic Alopecia then i am pretty much screwed
very impressive results by the way.
i see what you mean but what about behind the ears i have some thinning there but it doesn't go up any further also my father is nw7 and now at 50 has very thin donor hair do you think that's from male pattern baldness or something else? sorry to bother you with this but I'm really stressing it
How old were you when male pattern baldness started to kick in for you and how much time had passed before you started doing something about it?
damn wtf bro, u are a nw1 but u are diffused as ****!, hence the user name i guessView attachment 32706View attachment 32707View attachment 32708
take a look at these and tell me what you think, on the ones with a buzzcut i have been applying minoxidil on the sides and on the first one i was about 2 months into treatment and haven't started treating the sides yet
i had been applying minoxidil on the sides for 2 months with the buzz cut and i guess it looks fine now but why would there be thinning there in the first place. another experienced poster seems to think it's just male pattern baldness and i have sensitive follicles in those areas , any ideas zzzzz ? and is retrograde alopecia caused by androgen's or something else?
