When I was referring to rosemary oil, I meant to compare it to minoxidil but I forgot to put the term "respectively" at the end of my second sentence to signal that.

>Finesteride prevents Test from converting to DHT by inhibiting 5a-reductase.

And so does Saw Palmetto.

Most oils, vitamins, and supplements will do next to nothing for treating pattern baldness. The natural paths that do work like Saw Palmetto and Rosemary Oil have more effective and FDA approved drugs like finasteride and minoxidil with the same exact mechanisms. The "natural route" is snake oil at best.

One of the only times taking vitamins to regrow hair is if you're severely deficient to the point it caused your body to excessively shed hair.

Most of us poor bastards on r/tressless will tell you the same thing.

Yeah, separate sects of the same source material, the Quran. They basically believe in differing events and different hadiths (basically what gospel is to Christians) to be legitimate. A lot in both sects believe the other "aren't real Muslims" (which is extremely taboo and probably one of the largest accusations to say in Islam).

This is a fact. Whenever anyone in the West thinks of "Sharia law" of beheadings and lashes for the smallest of grievances, they think of the Wahhabi mindset, it's as backward as it comes. Wahhabism can't even be considered a school under Sunni, it has effectively become another sect of Islam at this point, that's how divergent it is.
