There is some newer data that show minoxidil in combination with tretinoin and/or microneedling is more effective. Preventing hair loss is pretty easy, just block 5AR DHT conversion with finasteride or dutasteride.
The trouble is, once hair loss is visually noticeable you've already lost about 50% density, and most people don't notice their hairline slowly receding.

- rhinoceraptor 5y agoIf every man took dutasteride from puberty, none of them would go bald. We know this from the condition 5-ARD. Obviously that's not a good idea, since DHT is important for fertility and many other male secondary sex characteristics. The point remains though, if you were able to know that you would go bald, and started taking finasteride or dutasteride before noticeable hair loss starts, that would likely be sufficient for life.
