Feel free to write a guide about this if you're into hair follicle stimulation, I'm too lazy to find out which one of these are the best so I just gave the mission to ChatGPT.
5α-reductase type 1 and 2, androgen receptors (AR) and AR coactivators can regulate androgen sensitivity of dermal papillae (DP). To regulate hair growth, androgens stimulate production of IGF-1 as positive mediators from beard DP cells and of TGF-β1, TGF-β2, dickkopf1 and IL-6 as negative mediators from balding DP cells.
This post may contain misinformation as it was made with ChatGPT.
Topically:
this doggo wants you to react to this post so it goes on Best Of The Best, of course if someone rewrites this even better then that should get on BOTB instead.

-
Finasteride: Finasteride is a medication that inhibits 5α-reductase type 2, which converts testosterone to the more potent dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the hair follicles. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride can potentially slow down hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia.
-
Minoxidil: Minoxidil is a topical solution that can promote hair growth by stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood flow to the scalp. It is believed to work by opening potassium channels and causing vasodilation, which can improve the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles. Minoxidil possesses alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist activity, stimulates the peripheral sympathetic nervous system (SNS) by way of carotid and aortic baroreceptor reflexes.
-
Ketoconazole: Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that has been shown to have anti-androgenic properties. It can potentially reduce the levels of androgens in the scalp and inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase type 1.
-
Saw palmetto: Saw palmetto is a herbal supplement that is sometimes used to treat hair loss. It contains compounds that are believed to inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase and block the binding of DHT to androgen receptors.
-
Green tea: Green tea contains catechins, which are antioxidant compounds that have been shown to have anti-androgenic effects. They can potentially inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase and reduce the levels of androgens in the scalp.
-
Caffeine: Caffeine is a stimulant that can potentially promote hair growth by stimulating blood flow to the scalp and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Some studies have suggested that caffeine can also inhibit the activity of 5α-reductase and block the binding of DHT to androgen receptors.
Topically:
- Minoxidil: Minoxidil is considered safe for topical use, with few reported side effects. The most common side effect is scalp irritation and itching, which can be minimized by using a lower concentration of minoxidil or a foam formulation.
- Ketoconazole: Ketoconazole is considered safe for topical use, with few reported side effects. The most common side effect is skin irritation, which can be minimized by using a lower concentration of ketoconazole.
- Caffeine: Caffeine is considered safe for topical use, with few reported side effects. The most common side effect is skin irritation, which can be minimized by using a lower concentration of caffeine.
- Green tea: Green tea is generally considered safe when consumed in moderate amounts. However, high doses of green tea extract supplements may cause liver toxicity and gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea and diarrhea.
- Saw palmetto: Saw palmetto is generally considered safe when consumed in recommended doses. However, some people may experience gastrointestinal side effects, such as stomach pain and diarrhea.
- Finasteride: Finasteride is an oral medication that is used to treat hair loss in men. It is generally considered safe, but some men may experience sexual side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased ejaculate volume. These side effects may persist even after discontinuing the medication.
- Minoxidil: Minoxidil is also available in oral form, but it is not commonly used for hair loss treatment due to potential side effects, such as fluid retention, rapid heartbeat, and chest pain.
