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.
I see, it makes sense.
Also, lemmygrad added pronouns?
No, I just changed my display name to include them under settings on the website. They don’t show for me on the mobile app I’m using unfortunately.
I’m always having hair coming out and yet my hair is as full as ever, so you might not need to worry too much about that. I think it’s fairly normal, which is why hair brushes get full of hair and shower drains often get clogged with it. My hair also felt like it was growing way too slow, but now feels like it’s getting pretty long, so it will get there I think.
I have no experience with dutasteride, but wikipedia said it’s for balding? If you aren’t balding, I’d be curious about how much it really does.
