dut + ru or rope

it helped me somewhat, you have to use it for a long time and the effect reverses when you stop though so if youre 21+ just use finasteride

combine it with dutasteride for better results+take oral minoxidl instead of topical

 

[optimisticzoomer]

dut + ru or rope

I use both. As do many people without regrowth. Minoxidil is still the king

Did u notice it thickening thin areas?

Dont start, too much work

get on dut and microneedle weekly and forget about it

 

[chadisbeingmade]

I did. Density was top tier.

Still a dogshit drug.

Dut + RU + DNR for life

 

[kaugummi]

it stopped and reversed temporal recession somewhat, but its not some wonderdrug. takes awhile to work, maybe microneedling added on would produce better results.

Is ru really worth to add?

I use dut
Microneedling without min is cope
My loss is minor so it’s not a big deal, but I wanna see if I can reverse it

 

[HighIQ ubermensch]

dut is sufficient alone
on fin, maybe ru is worth something

 

[optimisticzoomer]

On the temples too?

Worth a go, especially topical

DNR

womp womp

Obviously good results, but u can still tell the area that filled in is fuzzy and short
Min would probably improve it
Also some rare people get hairline gains with fin and dut

 

[chadisbeingmade]

On the temples too?

Yes.

Some get great scalp gains, others don’t. Don’t think @imontheloose scalp got any major improvements, or improvement at all on oral from what i saw when we went to tea.

As you wish bro.

He is NW -1 anyway

Ok gramps

The NW isn’t relevant. You aren’t going to grow new hairs, just manly thicken existing.

 

[chadforlife250]

if youre okay with oral min then go ahead

otherwise imagine drying your scalp the tf out everyday for the rest of your life

I've seen your pics and your hairline is ideal tbh , just dut for mantainance and maybe bit of regrowth is all you need

It helped me in the first few weeks and then my hairline just kept getting recessed

Thinning into nw2 = nw2
But if u have no miniaturisation u won’t see a change

wait really? I thought min was for the thickness of the hair. And fin was for actual hairline regrowth

 

[optimisticzoomer]

It helped me in the first few weeks and then my hairline just kept getting recessed

That’s not enough time for regrowth
And were u on min alone at the time?

 

[Looks over NT]

dont apply minox, your collagen will get depleted temporarily and maybe even permanently

 

[optimisticzoomer]

Fin is for maintaining. Studies show increased hair counts, but for the hairline that seems like cope for most people, based on how many people use it. Probably really small insignificant hairs
Min is for growing new hairs but mainly reversing miniaturisation

 

[optimisticzoomer]

yeah you will

In what way?

Oh my god..... nigga I'm ordering this shit right now if that's true

On the scalp

 

[optimisticzoomer]

Oh my god..... nigga I'm ordering this shit right now if that's true

It is true, but u still need fin to maintain
And like 40-60% of people barely respond to topical min. U can try tretinoin before applying minox as it may help

 

[Looks over NT]

On the scalp

yea it'll ruin not just the area where u apply it. people have anecdotally said it worsens undereyes and makes the skin look drier

 

[Deleted member 110192]

That’s not enough time for regrowth

I’m still on it. Almost 20 weeks

And were u on min alone at the time?

+ castor oil + RU

 

[Deleted member 228717]

even with topical? How

 

[LegendaryKennen]

I think u can keep the gains even after hopping off if uve done it long enough 2+ years

 

[optimisticzoomer]

Then it’s probably just shedding
Topical or oral min?

I thought you meant something else my bad

 

[optimisticzoomer]

Think that’s rare. Also, dark undereyes mog. Puffy undereyes, not so much

 

[Looks over NT]

it probably is uncommon but i personally wouldnt risk it. id rather take fin or something else which regrows hair thats safer. they did an invitro study on rats and found minox does deplete collagen production tho. lifeisgood72, a former user, said it depletes collagen and made many threads on it.

 

[optimisticzoomer]

It would go away after stopping min
I already take fin and dut, but min is the best for regrowth

id just stop taking it immediately if you notice your skin changing

When applied in your scalp???

I’ve heard of bad skin and under eyes when applied to your brows, but to your scalp bro?

I personally never saw changes tbh. That’s weird

a few users here and on reddit said it worsened their undereyes. i can think of lifeisgood72 and 5foot8paki (deleted users)

how does tretinoin help topical minox on scalp? im on .05% topical rn i didnt know the two had synergy

 

[optimisticzoomer]

It apparently helps increase sulfotransferase enzyme which is what converts minoxidil into minoxidil sulphate, which is the active form

interesting, i gotta know
1. how would you combine the two, could i just apply my tret on my hairline and then apply minoxidil on it?
2. any drawbacks from long-term/short-term usage?
