Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted February 4, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) The good thing about beard hair is it’s basically DHT immune. Even more than the nw7 zone.

This is not really true. I don't know about beard hair because I was always clean shaven, but finasteride did thin out my chest hair and I've heard other people say the same. That was one of several reasons why I stopped using it years ago because I knew I needed to transplant body hair to my head. Once I stopped using it my chest hair started thickening again. Minoxidil is a different story. Minoxidil can thicken up beards, so you can definitely use that. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
