After my parents forced me to cut my hair early during the summer, my hair has been taking a really long time to grow back. I am also finding strands of broken hairs all the time when I wash my hair or comb it. Idk what is going on. I’m using conditioners and hair oil. And I don’t wash my hair everyday.

Would taking dutasteride help with hair volume and growth? Does anyone have any good experiences with it?

    From my understanding as someone on Dutasteride & topical Minoxidil, Dutasteride is used to block DHT - the primary cause for androgenic alopecia (“male patterned baldness”). I’ve been on the combination for around 6 months, and I haven’t experienced any changes in hair volume or growth outside of the areas that I had a receding hairline.

    TLDR: Dutasteride will help prevent further loss, but won’t help regrowth. For regrowth you’ll want topical Minoxidil, but it’s best when you use both.
