I have been taking oral Minoxidil and Dutasteride since April of this year. I noticed some facial hair growth on my left side, hairs in my ears and nose hairs seem to grow longer. I also notice my eye lashes got a bit longer. I seen a bunch of small hairs on my scalp but I wasn’t sure if it’s new growth or hair thinning since I always shaved my head due to having SMP done a couple years ago. I just had a FUE (3195 graphs) transplant a couple days ago, hopefully those hairs will grow longer and thick as the newly implanted hairs start to grow. I was taking 5MG or oral minoxidil but the HT doc said 2.5MG is better. I have but I agree with him because I noticed the growth with 2.5MG the with 5MG. I didn’t have any side effects with 5MG.

Hiya, I am currently taking 2.5MG of oral minoxidil (generic) once a day at night for hair loss. Curious to know if it’s ok to use topical foam for beard growth in the morning or do you think that’s too much minoxidil in my system? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I had purchased one of those cheapo digital microscope from Amazon and found a bunch of breakage or maybe its new hairs, can’t tell. If this is breakage, is it normal when your losing your hair or could this be a nutrient issue? I normally shave my head but I have been letting it grow for about two weeks. Pics below. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t think these hairs will thicken or grow as it looks the same as when I grew my hair out for a week during the lockdowns. I am not sure if I just need time to allow it to grow longer or if one week is king enough. Either way, I will ask the ht doctor next week if he can see any new growth. I attached photos of what it looks like. To me it just looks hair breakage and thinning hair

Hello world, I have been taking Dutasteride 0.5MG EOD since February 2021 and Oral Minoxidil 2.5MG ED since April 2021 but I always shave my head due to SMP and I am a NW5. I am having a 3000 FUE transplant next week at a place in the Bay Area and was told to allow my hair to grow for a week before the surgery. I decided to grow it out for two weeks because I am curious to see if there’s any hair growth. I allowed it to grow in the past for a few days before I shaving my hair again and noticed tiny thin hairs that never thickened. I still see the tiny thin hairs and I see so much of them. I am curious to know if these hairs will ever thicken or if it’s just old hairs waiting to die off? I bought one of those cheap Bluetooth microscopes and can take some pics if you like since taking a photo would be hard to see with the SMP. Thanks.
