Completely the opposite experiences with Topical Dutasteride 0.1% from FUECLINIC and Parati. I had zero side effects and the most dramatic change in my hair I have ever experienced on medication and I could get away with applying once a week or even every 10 days.
Hey Mustang,
I have read on your posts elsewhere that at one point you were using topical dutasteride at 0.25% once per week. How did you find it at this dose? Did you feel it was okay or too high?

Possible cause of male pattern hair loss: permanent, subliminal tension of facial and masticatory muscles as a consequence of a psychophysiological conditioning by interpersonal mimic interaction

I know the scalp tension theory doesn't have much footing on this forum (or anywhere really), and personally i've never bought into it much myself, but I have tried to keep an open mind and recently I have come across some interesting research that has made me think twice.
Extract from the paper as follows:
The hypothesis argues that: (1) chronic scalp tension transmitted from the galea aponeurotica induces an inflammatory response in androgenic alopecia-prone tissues; (2) dihydrotestosterone increases in androgenic alopecia-prone tissues as part of this inflammatory response; and (3) dihydrotestosterone does not directly miniaturize hair follicles. Rather, dihydrotestosterone is a co-mediator of tissue dermal sheath thickening, perifollicular fibrosis, and calcification – three chronic, progressive conditions concomitant with androgenic alopecia progression.
On this hypothesis, DHT is still very much part of the process in that it contributes to thickening, fibrosis and calcification in the scalp, but is mediated/up-regulated by tension and inflammation. My reading of this is that DHT still has these effects on its own, regardless of the role of scalp tension. But tension plays a part, and together with its role in up-regulating DHT, contributes to the degeneration of healthy scalp follicles.
Anyone who claims that hair loss is all scalp tension and blood flow related and has nothing to do with DHT is talking nonsense. I certainly do not see scalp tension as a primary explanation of hair loss, but based on this research, tension may be in there as a contributing factor that leads to increased DHT and fibrosis. It may also explain why certain hairs in the 'pattern' of hair loss are more prone to DHT in the first place.
Still, DHT is our number one enemy, but it's important to look at this holistically.
