Finasteride has many systemic effects on hormone metabolism, so I am sure that many of the side effects will also apply to women. With regard to sexuality, it is a complex issue for women so it cannot just labeling finasteride as the cause. Women’s sexuality is not only related to androgens as with men.

Hats have nothing to do with hair loss for men – it is just purely genetics.

If my hairline is receeding, should I stop wearing caps? from tressless

DUPA is extensive miniaturization in the donor area from the back and sides of your hair and it is found in some men. I am not aware of a connection between Vitamin deficiencies and this condition but if you are Vitamin deficient, address it with oral supplement.

Yes, a Vitamin D Deficiency can cause hair loss. When it is corrected, you may not see a reversal of the hair loss if there is a genetic component to it. Women often have complex hair loss problems, so careful evaluation is critical before drawing conclusions to the cause of hair loss, which is often not so simple as taking Vitamin D.

At day one, you run a risk with the use of hydrogen peroxide to clean the recipient area as it may get under the grafts and kill them. I recommend not using anything but soap and water.

Toppik works well after a hair transplant while it is growing in. It should never be used while the crusts are still on the recipient site, which usually takes 1-3 weeks to be washed off, depending how aggressively you wash your hair.

Using Toppik 3 months after my Hair Transplant? from tressless

Using a tooth brush to get rid of the crusts is a bad idea as it may actually pull out the grafts. Place the shampoo on your head, leave it there for 10 minutes, and then using your fingertips, gently rub the grafts. Repeat this twice a day until the crusts come off easily but do not be rough about this?

The best donor hair is from the back and sides of the head (scalp hair). The next best spot, if the donor area is depleted, is under the chin. The chin area can yield as many as 3000 grafts in some people with heavy beard densities. I would not want to use this hair for the frontal hairline because it would be too coarse and not look natural. Beard hair taken from under the chin can’t really be seen when placed well behind the frontal hairline. Other body hair has short growth cycles, unlike beard and scalp hair which have long growth cycles, so it is not as good.

Body hair is not terribly efficient for treating the donor area, and it will take a lot of body hair as well. More hair means more cost. It is much better to do Scalp Micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/).
