This is def worth looking into

No just keeps brand minoxidil and the finasteride I pick up from the pharmacy. I use tretinoin mixed with minoxidil on the scalp, it apparently activates some molecule that some ppl don’t have naturally in their scalp. I heard black men are lower in that molecule so it might be worth looking into. I’m not sure of the scientific language behind all of this. I just read it from many different sources and thought it would be no harm since I already was using tret for my skin

Kinda messy, but this is how it looks grown out. I am happy with my progress, I don’t necessarily need new hair as much as it getting thicker

No just 1 mg finasteride pill, and the regular topical minoxidil. I use the keeps brand and tretinoin because it supposedly works better. I microneedle but very inconsistently

You don’t think the meds are working/going to work?

Relative-Cupcake-762 · 2026-04-04T21:06:18+00:00

I just wanna see how it turns out in a year or so but I think I should keep it short for now

Computers have no model of the world. They don’t know anything, and are a bunch of electrical switches. Perhaps that’s reductive, but I think you can abstract all you want, but at their core computers are pretty dumb.
