Best of luck with results anon,

>>14198661
Looks the same to me

Gonna get in fin within the month. Losing multiple hairs every time I fix mine and j swear I could keep going all day and it wouldn't stop falling out.

>>14199170
Good luck anon. Don't listen to all the idiots saying it will kill your dick. It's worth trying out and if you have sides (VERY low chance), you can always quit.

I'd recommend PRP

>>14199180
Have you tried it? Post results?

>>14199171
When I first started taking it, I got blasted with some pretty worrying sides. My boner went from like a 95% to a 78-79% or thereabouts. Like, the body was hard like usual, but the tip felt like it didn't have any blood in it (it was also weirdly cold). I also lost it in like, 30 seconds of inactivity. I started taking ZMA supplements and they work crazy well; I get morning wood again, my erections go up to about 92% with no effort, and my cum is no longer watery. I was deficient to start with, but it's always an option if you're afraid of sides.

>literally castrating yourself for a bit of hair

as someone who's losing hair, buzzing it off, and is happy with the way I look with it, I wish you guys luck. you deserve to look the way you want to look

>>14199409
I have alot of respect for people buzzing it off. I can understand what you went through. My only worry is: I'm a skinny manlet with a big head. When I buzz it off, I think I'll look like a fucking bobblehead. That's my only concern.

>>14199405
According to blind studies the sexual side effects are virtually nonexistant.

>>14199212
Not yet, I'm doing it next month, but I've seen a lot of good progress pics.

t. bald guys

1 milligram of finasteride for hair loss is litterally impossible to cause side effects, unless you already have hormonal or psychological issues. It's only at the higher doses (that they give to prostate patients for which the drug was originaly intended for) that side effects occur more regularly (and even then it's still a small percentage.

Stop bashing this drug if you've never tried it. It's like you want people to go bald so you're not alone.

>>14199220
I'm using o,5 gram and not 1 mg and i haven't noticed any sides. So maybe i just don't get them, but it's worth the try.

My hair is thinning pretty bad on the crown. Will it look worse if I buzz my head?

>>14199530
and by that I mean like a short clip so I can try

>>14199532
Nah man go for it this is my plan actually. If you can stick being buzzed for a few months you could

How's your dick?

>>14199450
I had sides on 1.25mg per day (I'm cutting a 5mg into quarters), but they went away completely when I swapped to EOD and it's still effective. I read that a half does gives you something like 80-90% of the results in terms of DHT suppression. So to any anons having sides, try dosing 0.5mg per day or 1mg EOD.

I'm receding on one side. I cope by sweeping my hair over it.

Should I bother doing anything? [blog]I'll probably sudoku before it gets too bad, anyway. I've lost a bunch of weight but my face is still fat and I still hate the way I look, so fuck it.[/blog]

>>14199403
>scam company looking to try get easy money by exploiting retards
Also try looking at how many of those lawsuits have actually been successful (hint it's zero)

>>14199668
I mean now is the best time to start some kind of protocol while you have very little baldness (if you're positive you even have MBP that is). If you started fin or min now you'd probably never have any problems.

>>14199667
EOD?

>Experiences
Started balding maybe at 23, just started medication last november - i am 30 now
>Tips
When in doubt, consult a dermatologist immediately and first and foremost
Hop on to minoxidil and finasteride treatment as soon as you have confirmation from the dermatologist that you are getting justed
Quit smoking if you are a smoker
Get fit, eat properly, etc.
Don't stop treatment or only stop once you get a wife and children of your own, surely by that time you will have accepted your fate as an aging man and just take the buzzpill if you want to

>>14199431
here's some advice from a tranny, If you do not want your body to feminize then i absolutely urge you to not take finesteride YOU WILL GROW TITS

I'm balding as well. Started taking finasteride for about a year ago.

It works, but it's not a miracle. It stopped my hair from falling out and regrew some tiny, thin hairs so it's not that bad at the moment.

>>14200413
Finasteride should at least prevent further follicle miniaturization and thus stop hair from further thinning. In rarer cases new hair may grow back in the thinned out sections, e.g. streghtening the hairline. In even more rare cases hair may regrow to some degree. There was a /fit/izen who was only on finasteride and said that he got some of his temples back after about 1.5 years, to which even his derm was surprised. Even though the third occurence may sound the most ideal, it would be best not to hope for it.
Another thing with fin is that with age DHT levels may start climbing and the medication may no longer be potent enough. At that point, finasteride users move on to durasteride which is a harder drug.

>>14200688

You seem well educated on this. If I was to start using finasteride and then decided to stop, would there be additional hair loss as a result? Have you noticed any side effects? I don't know if I want to get into something that I must continue indefinitely. Thanks.

Gonna try minoxidil before i give up and buzz it off, this hairline+ extra long forehead makes me look like Jimmy Neutron on crack. I can't handle the roasts from mates anymore they've such thick hair and solid hairlines

daily reminder that there are only 3 proven ways to preserve/recover natural hair: finasteride, minoxidil, hair transplant.

>>14200803
This is just information that I gleaned over by browsing hair loss forums and articles. Finasteride doesn't lower follicle sensitivity to DHT. But it does lower DHT levels and that in effect helps follicles from shrinking, while offering the potential to grow back over several hair growth cycles. The cycles are pretty long so that's why new hair growth isn't instant. Though neither is hair loss.
In effect if finasteride is dropped DHT will climb back to normal and continue affecting your follicles as originally. So you do have to stay on it and probably monitor your DHT as well just to be sure you are under the threshold whatever that is for you. Nothing bad will happen if you forget to take a tab once or maybe even twice a week, but you still have to be regularly on it.
The side effects can range from depression to loss of libido. Some may go totally limp. Though these may affect only 3% of users, they still tend to be very vocal about it. It's probably best to stop taking finasteride if any of the side effects become apparent, or at least try to lower the dosage, presuming your levels and still under control. I guess that for some men even finasteride may not prove useful, even moreso if they are having a negative reaction to it.
I'm not yet on fin due to having to have a prescription for it in this part of the world, online sellers don't even want to ship it here. Doesn't help that most men here cope by not doing anything with their receding hair so I'm not expecting any local dermatologist to give me fin rather than suggest some other flakier methods, especially when the cheaper 5mg doses are only meant for prostate treatment in the papers.
Finasteride is no longer under patents so if you see any generics you can buy them. Lots of them are available as 5mg tabs which are cheaper than the 1mg ones that are marketed for hair-loss. Most users cut 5mgs into quarters and take them over the course of 5 days as the suggested daily dose is 1mg.

>>14200980

Wow, thanks for the info. It sounds like it is worth experimenting with. That's too bad you can't get it easily there. I'm in the US so I have no idea what availability is like.

I already do a bunch of natural stuff to help keep my hair growing. I supplement these: saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, pygeum, biotin, calcium/magnesium/zinc, d3. I also massage the following essential oils into the scalp weekly: rosemary, cedar, clary sage, tea tree. Finally, I rarely shampoo but if I do it's all natural castille soap and I use an apple cider vinegar solution with essential oils as a conditioner daily.

Is there a link between eczema/dandruff and hair loss? Anecdotal but everyone I know thats balding has horrible skin, and my hair loss seem to stop once I got my dandruff under control through diet and other stuff.

>>14200887
You can combine this with a topical DHT blocker (which also increases bloodflow, getting more nutrients to your hairs) or a DHT blocking shampoo. However I would not recommend to use topical DHT blockers/shampoo on its own. Always use in combination with fin and minox.

>>14201067
Could you elaborate more in how you controlled your dandruff? please.

>>14201782
Washing my scalp and face with nizoral suppresses mine. My dandruff is from having too much yeast in my body and would eventually go away if I stopped eating sugar and carbs. I had to use nizoral about twice a week but I started drinking kombucha tea and now I can go a week and a half without nizoral

>>14201782
not that anon, I did a lot but sleep routine, no sugar or carbs, ate more veggies, ate more veggies, worked out no fap, show twice a day (wake up and work out), no shampoo just bar soap.

how bad is this? it's located at the back of my crown. I'm I premature balding 20M

>>14200838
As someone who also has a high hairline/long forehead, I've had a lot of success with hair styles that incorporate bangs. They don't even have to be long or anything to look good.

>nu-/fa/ has a general for bald cunts

>>14202052
That might be normal. Hard to tell. I'd try some rogaine and see if there's any change after 6 months.

>>14199450
If you are on 4chan, chances are youre already a schizo

>>14202052
That's just a regular cowlick. Everyone has that. No balding.

Take HRT and start boymoding.

Nicer skin + hair regrowth = andro looking fucker

the virgin finasteride

>>14200838
minoxidil will do literally jack shit to tackle the MPB process you absolute newb. Just hop on dutasteride and I can pretty much guarantee you won’t lose any more hair ever

>>14203812
>>14203804
Dermatologists here won't describle that. Or maybe I should visit another dermatologist. Or should I straight on order it online?

>>14203823
if you haven't tried finateride don't try dutasteride first.

>>14203837
I'm on fin for almost 10 months now but I still see thinning more thinning... I don't think many dermatologists will prescribe duta for hair loss.

>>14203850
doubt this. Losing hair on finasteride is extremely rare and no photographic evidence of this phenomena exists anywhere on the internet

>>14203879
Well perhaps it's just my imagination. I still shed loads though... I know it's normal to lose around 100 hairs/day (especially white people shed this much), but still I feel like I'm losing more hair than normal.

>>14200338
btw as an aside what is the top tier drug regiment for transitioning?

Been on finasteride for almost 3 years now, started on my 20th birthday. Took a year for balding to stop, more density and slight regrowth in 2nd year. I'm a solid NW2 right now. Finasteride almost never regrows past NW2, minox and microneedling combined with fin might not even grow all your hair back. Moral of the story is don't fuck around, if you notice hairloss get on fin immediately.

Pic not me but someone who did everything mentioned above. He eventually grew tits rip

>>14203908
Thanks for posting man. It's nice to hear that you only got results after a year. I'm on it for 9 months and I'm still losing a lot. I'll try to be more patient.

anyone have luck using minox for facial hair growth?

If you're insecure enough about your hair to take a pill that could make you sexually incompetent then getting more hair wont help. You'll still be insecure about other things

Be confident and just shave it off

>>14201848
>My dandruff is from having too much yeast in my body and would eventually go away if I stopped eating sugar and carbs
r-really? i'd like to try this, how long before i should see results? is no carb superior /fa/ diet?

>>14200338
trannies retarded as usual, reducing dht won't make you grow tits unless you are severely low T in general in which case you're fucked anyway

What happens if you get minoxidril on some of your healthy hair? I want to try to keep it to the areas where I'm losing hair as much as possible but am worried it might cause the normal areas to shed.

>>14204376
Yea it causes initial shedding which is normal first few weeks. But your existing hairs grow back stronger and thicker. Also some new hairs start to sprout, filling up thin spots.

t. using minox for 5 years now

>>14204271
Tried it, homie. Big mistake. Don't start putting hair loss chemicals into your body when you don't have hair loss problems

Where can i buy cheap minoxidil here in leafland? 5% here is only available in rogaine mousse, and it's very expensive

>>14205072
Kirkland liquid on amazon

fin and mod will fuck you up. Peppermint essential oil has been shown to be more effective without making your balls fall off. For the lazy:
>buy argon oil
>put 20 drops of PEO in per oz
>put that shit in your hair after you get out of the shower and you have dried it off, but it's still damp
then
>buy a shampoo without sulphates and silicon and other nasty shit
>put 5 drops of PEO in per oz of shampoo
>only shampoo every other day tops, unless you swim or sweat a lot

As a bonus you smell fresh and you should be putting argon or jojoba oil in your hair anyway for lots of reasons, besides it just making it soft and shiny as fuck.

>>14204330
>>14205108
PEO also fixes that, it is antifungal and antibacterial. I'm tellin you anons, get on this shit.

>>14205385
Peppermint essential oil

>>14205526

And you mix it with argon oil until it's 3% then rub it on your scalp and that's it?

Please get the FUCK out of my thread. These natural "cures" are scams and don't work. Stop shilling this crap in my thread. If you noticed any results from it you were probably never balding anyway retard.


Friendly reminder to ignore these posters and get on finasteride/minox/DHT blocking shampoo asap.

Let me attach this real quick.

This graph is way more impressive anyway.

>>14198661
A year after I got out of the military, I started getting mild acne that slowly became stable tiny-bumps-everywhere acne. Now, after four years, I'm getting little swollen lymph nodes, severe anxiety in public, and my hairline looks like starting to thin. Shit's especially brittle and thin next to where I part it, even though I don't shampoo daily and use leave-in conditioner. Got bloodwork last year that said my TSH levels were kinda low, still waiting on the results of a follow-up test.

I think it's some hormone imbalance leaning towards too much testosterone, though I'm only getting the fucked-up hair and acne symptoms. Am I right?

Just visit Turkey and get hair plugs. Also a great excuse to go sightseeing and see some museums and history.

I got platelet enriched plasma injected a few times. It’s actually working unlike the drugs I’ve been prescribed for it

>>14205852
I counted 53 guys with freshly done hairtransplants in a single weekend walking around Istanbul. Also Istanbul has so much shit you can spend months sightseeing.

I'm OP. Currently I'm on medication as I said in my post but I will stop using meds once I'm done with uni. I'll let everything fall out then. I might continue with finasteride since HT docs prescribe it anyway and it wont work as well once you start it a second time after quitting in the past. I'm dropping minox though.

Only then I'm getting a HT. Don't want to walk around in uni with those wounds in my hair.

>>14205115
I'll hop on the peppermint train. Fin completely ruined my orgasms but I had an amazing head of hair. Not worth it though. Thanks friend.

I have seen so many pictures of shittily done transplants that look fake and horribly thinned out coming out of that place. Why would anyone even get one done there.
Just look at this shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTIjq7zYeyQ
And the poor saps still have to jump on finasteride to not recede more as the supply of follicles is obviously limited to what the patient's back of the head can supply.

>>14205854
What's the proecudre like? How does it work? Do the hair start growing in already thinned out places or actually cover bald patches as well? What's the cost as well?

>>14206656
That guy is a retard and refused to hop on finasteride after his surgery even though the doctors highly recommended to do so. So obiously balding progressed on other areas, but he said he was going to do another HT.

Also, about the "fake" look: at the time he went, the turkish doctors were still retarded as well. NEVER insert follicles with multiple hairs in the frontal hairline. Th frontal hairline should always consist of single hair follicles. Otherwise your hairline will look "pluggy", just like that gay has. But again, he said he was going to get a new HT and have some "single-hair follicles" implanted in his frontal hairline for a more natural look.

>>14206697
I hear the transplant density can't compete with natural hair. Is that because of the limited amount of donor hairs or is there some other reason? Have you been following the follicle cloning for transplant purposes testing going on in Japan?

>>14206738
>I hear the transplant density can't compete with natural hair. Is that because of the limited amount of donor hairs or is there some other reason?
Ok I know alot on this topic so I'll try to explain what I know. You can look up anyhting I say if you don't believe me. Firstly, youi should know that on a normal scalp, you can lose up to 50% (!) of your hair before it becomes even noticable. So yes, you won't be getting the same density as you once had, because of - indeed - the limited amount of hair follicles in your donor area. But you will still get enough density to cover up your scalp. Also, HT doctors implant your follicles more densely in your frontal hairline/scalp and leave your midscalp intentionally thinner. This is so your hair appears more dense than it actually is and so there are more follicles available for other balding areas.

>Have you been following the follicle cloning for transplant purposes testing going on in Japan?
Yes, I believe you're talking about replicel. It will be available pretty soon in Japan, but for EU/US you'll have to wait longer because we require more testing trials. This guy has a good video on it about their latest updates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFaajXK2-Ds&t=342s

>>14206757
Yeah this make sense. Thanks for linking the video, explains the stuff well. Guys over at hair loss are crossing their fingers for this.

>>14198661

I stopped wearing caps/hats (used to wear them tight), rubbed black jamaican castor oil on my scalp before bed twice a week, and a year later it's 95% better. But I don't think I had male pattern baldness, I think I had traction alopecia from wearing tight winter caps for a few years.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/10/131030092856.htm

Gravity can have a factor to. What's nice is likely by the time all of us are old there should be a cure. if not only temporary.

>>14208218
The cure you're talking about is Replicel. Basically stem cell surgery. It will be available in a couple of years in Japan. No more HT scars then.
