Does this help regrow hair or just stop the thinning?

Both. It can help regrow hair. I have completely bare temples and I’m starting to see a few real hairs coming back after 6 months of spiro. The hair takes years and many growth cycles to miniaturize, so it will take years and many growth cycles for them to become thicker hairs again too.

DP. I didn't realize spiro is supposed to help with hair growth? I've been taking it for years for adult acne and my once very thick hair is now extremely thin. I attributed the hair loss to aging and hormones but now I wonder if the spiro has caused it?

How do you guys use it for overall thinning? I feel like I need much more than the recommended dose to really cover everything. I guess I could just do my part/front like PP.

Maybe not all hair loss but mine is caused by excess testosterone from PCOS, hence the male pattern loss. Spiro blocks testosterone. So I guess theoretically you could have the opposite problem where low testosterone is causing diffuse thinning, but I really have no idea.
