If Rogaine Enlarges the Follicle and Propecia Maintains, Why Can’t I Stop Using Rogaine?
I have read that rogaine promotes hair re-growth by enlarging the hair follicle. I have also read that propecia doesn’t do as well with hair re-growth but maintains hair by preventing excess DHT from shrinking the hair follicle.
Will propecia prevent the shrinking of a hair follicle that was enlarged by rogaine? So that you could use rogaine to get re-growth, but then stop using the rogaine as long you continue with the propecia?
Or will the new growth hair fall out when you stop using the rogaine even if you continue the propecia?
You are attempting to make a logical conclusion to things that we just don’t understand (at least I don’t). This is a far stretch of logic. It’s been my experience that once you stop using Rogaine (minoxidil), the Propecia will not retain those hairs (and vice versa).
