Has anyone tried this

I found a 2% solution

Lots of anecdotes reporting it can slow or halt the Norwood reaper

If you have dandruff because of sebderm its 100% a dietary problem, had the same problem for years, ketoconazole and other anti-dandruff shampoos fucked up my hair, made it dry and unhealthy and the dandruff came after 3 days of using it.

What helped me to eliminate dandruff and sebderm symptoms completely like irritation behind the ears or the nose, is going into carnivore, since its an anti inflammation diet, the most powerful there is, and from there you can try and add more foods gradually evaluating if they trigger sebderm or don't, me personally i can eat any animal product + fruits, what triggers me the most is peanut, avocado, flour based foods, heavy omega6 + sugary stuff like crumbl cookies

what type of carbs? if you have sebderm you should try full carnivore first, no milk no fruit, then add and evaluate for a couple of weeks

I doubt it will do much to inhibiting 5ar. I personally am considering it though. I am 19 but i have noticed that hair in my crown is thinner and less bulky when i grab it than on the top of my head. Hairline is fine.
 
Is the whole mothers male relatives thing true? Ive heard many saying that if your mothers brothers bald early, you will likely too. My mothers brothers are all balding, one of them quiet severly, in their 40s and 50s. My father did not bald at all until he reached 40. He reached Norwood 3 at around 55 though.

Head an shoulders daily works wonders for me for dandruff, dries it out like crazy though.
