Still Losing Hair Even When On Finasteride

[@Ignozi]

Just slowing down hair loss is completely unsatisfactory for most people and just not good enough. It's not really a win to still be losing your hair just less aggressively. The goal is to not lose hair and regains some that was lost.

[@imrahul335]

Agree 👍

[@utrippin7486]

there is no such thing as stopping hairloss. With finasteride, you just block the most potent androgen in your body (DHT). You have plenty other androgens that are still making your hair fall out. Especially testosterone since it rises from the lack of DHT. You can only slow it down, never stop it. Females have the same hairloss too, just at such a slow rate that nobody ever notices, even in old women they only lost so little hair that it doesnt look like they have hairloss.

[@jayeshaw5705]

If the goal is not to lose any hair then that's a cure which probably will never happen.

[@imrahul335]

@@utrippin7486 There should be other ways too to stop hairloss whether it is by DHT or other causes we all know if we loss some 100 or so hair it is not considered as hairloss and we are loosing for a very long period of time nobody says that's hairloss we got worried when we notice some thinning area where we see same visibly area with no hair which was not there before.

[@meltedsnowman9637]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@utrippin7486 This isn’t true. DHT isn’t the most potent androgen on a quantitative scale. It’s qualitatively different in nature to other androgens. There is also no good evidence that other androgens cause hair loss. That’s why people with a genetic 5 alpha reductase enzyme show no signs of hair loss. Also it’s absolutely not true that you can only slow it down. Many people can fully prevent hair loss with treatment and even regrow hair to be better than their starting point.

Ive been on finasteride for over 3 years! I never really had that much hairloss at 53 but have noticed hair regrowth in hairline! I also use minoxidil, derma rolla. Lazer cap and nizoral. And having good results. Also try to avoid stress, keep fit and healthy diet helps.

One of the main thing about finastride is that it slows down the progression but is not an absolute stopping agent, i don't think there is any thing available on the face of the earth which can completely stop the progression of the hairloss and it's quite upsetting we humans discovered the cure of even a deadliest diseases like cancer but have failed to find the solution of hairloss.

[@NeptuneGuy78]

It is because genetic hairloss isn't viewed as sincerely important, and is mostly seen as an aesthetic concern by the vast majority of people. However, I personally argue that hairloss is interlinked with mental health woes, and, therefore, should be taken seriously.

​@@hasan6390I took this dutasteride medicine for four months I did not notice any difference in the first month, not much, it may have been a subtle difference In the second month, it was like magic. My hair had been falling for the last ten years. For the first time, it happened that my hair stopped falling. I would rub my hair for hours but not even a single hair would fall. When I would bathe, I was surprised and not even a single hair would fall. And most importantly, a change started coming in my hair. This change was so great that my baldness started to disappear. 3rd month, in this month my hair started falling again to some extent 4th month, my hair started falling again, the baldness that was gone started to look lighter. =-:- Then I thought that the medicine is not showing any effect or it will not last long and I stopped taking the medicine. I was not financially capable of taking the medicine. But it has been 13 months since I stopped this medicine. Within 4 months of stopping the medicine, I lost so much hair that it was more than the hair I had before starting the medicine. 13 months have passed and I have become completely bald, but I am thinking of taking this medicine again for a year 🥲

[@xhuo-m7r]

When I was still in nw2, I took finasteride one mg per day for 5 months the year before last, and my hair still fell out at 90-110 strands per day. So I stopped taking finasteride for 8 months. I discovered that my hair was about to turn into nw3, so I started taking 0.5 mg of dutasteride a day. Today is my fortieth day of taking Dutasteride, and my hair loss remains at 100-130 hairs per day. My hair is progressing towards nw4. My hair follicles are getting smaller and smaller. If I continue to lose more than 100 hairs a day after 5 months, I will stop using Dutasteride.

[@Lamb02]

Hey listen to me. Dutasteride is the strongest hairloss drug there is. It takes TIME sometimes over a year to see progress. 5 months is not enough, do not give up!!! Add minoxidil and do it for 1 year with dutasteride!!! Do not count hairs, wear a hat if you need to and take care of your body

Question. If someone has success regrowing hair on Topical Minoxidil and Finasteride, could they then remove minoxidil from thier routine and maintain that regrown hair or would Finasteride alone not be enough to maintain those gains?

[@niltomega2978]

That is not a question anyone can really answer. First one would need to know if it was Finasteride or Minoxidil that was successfully regrowing hair...or both? If I had to choose one to keep taking, I'd choose Finasteride.

[@salasa3221]

Finasteride and minoxidil work independently through separate mechanisms so one cannot substitute for the other. Where finasteride limits the DHT that reaches your hair follicles and thus curbs hair loss over time, minoxidil supercharges the follicles so they stay in their anagen (growth) phrase longer. Cutting off minoxidil will result in you losing the hairs you regrew with it, likewise cutting finasteride will mean DHT continues to hurt your hair follicles until even the minoxidil regrown hairs will fall out

[@antonioashkar8895]

No

[@ab-en4ci]

Hello Vikram, thank you for all your videos. They are my primary and invaluable source of knowledge. Is this an interesting topic for you to make a video about? Let's gather the premises/facts: 1) minoxidil accelerates the hair growth cycle 2) each hair follicle has a predetermined number of cycles. And now comes the question. Does using minoxidil result in a faster "wear and tear" of hair follicles? Does this apply only to miniaturized follicles, or does it also apply to follicles that are resistant/less susceptible to androgenic alopecia?

Hi, I have been taking finasteride for almost a year now 3mg per week. The only hairs that I am losing is in the shower and it is between 100-180 hairs per day, the days that I am shampooing my hair are the once that reach the 180 hairs. In my pillow and in my day I don’t notice any other hairs and I am really looking for them. I am loosing the same number of hairs now as before starting finasteride. I think the hairs that I am loosing and noticing in the showers might be a little thicker than before finasteride. Now I am not sure if finasteride is working for me or not and if I should increase the dosage or even try dutasteride. What I have heard and read is that Dutasteride blocks 99% of DHT while Finasteride blocks only around 80%. Furthermore the topic I red and seen specified that there are 2 types of dht and only the type 1 affects hair loss which finasteride covers it al in the 80% that blocks. Anyone here that knows anything I would really appreciate it, Thanks

[@Dog4461-u8c]

[@MyPlanet123]

Try eating natural diet too like carrots and Indian gooseberry

[@bojanrusso537]

dutasteride blocks around 90-95%, since it blocks 2 alpha reductase enzymes. Nonetheless, there are different processes in your body that create dht, blocking those enzymes won't stop your body from generating it. With dutasteride you are definitely keeping your hair for an even longer period of time. But if finasteride is not working, I recommend switching to 1mg/day before hopping on dutasteride. It's half-life is way longer than finasteride and you mentioned that you take 3mg a week which means probably every other day. Finasteride needs to be taken daily.
