/balding/ and /finasteride/ general.
Sticky: http://tuxbell.com/index.php/Balding

Reminder that PFS isn't real, skull shrinking isn't real and far more people take fin and dut for benign prostatic hyperplasia than they do for hair loss and never report any adverse effects.

Holy trinity:
Tabs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finasteride
Lotion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoxidil
Shampoo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketoconazole

Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that prevents free T from being converted to DHT, a byproduct of testosterone that serves no purpose after puberty but to choke out your hair follicles and make them thin out and die, this is called androgenic alopecia.
Fin mostly prevents your hair from getting any worse, mild regrowth is expected, though some people see a significant recovery on fin alone. Can be taken orally or topically.

Minoxidil (liquid and tabs) is a vasodialator that opens potassium channels and widens blood vessels bringing nutrients to your hair follicles, stimulating hair follicles into thickening, accelerating growth and elongating the growth phase. Min is taken with fin to restore your hair to it's original hairline, thickness and vigor when hair loss is caught early enough, (pre-NW2). Can be taken orally or topically.

Ketoconazole is an anti-androgen and antifungal that inhibits DHT on the scalp and used to treat fungal infections of the scalp that may be making your hair loss worse such as seborrheic dermatitis, a condition where you exhibit severe greasy, flaky large dandruff flakes with dried yellow crystals (blood plasma) embedded in the scalp. Some people may only have traction alopecia (hair loss from scratching or friction), but it will not cure androgenic alopecia alone. Can only be taken topically.

I must have lucked out. I'm less horny, which is a good thing. 6 months on and my dick still works. I still get morning wood. My scalp doesn't itch nearly as much as it used to. My hair seems to be coming back in in the parts that caused me to get on the stuff to begin with. My face was already looking less pregnant with baby fat. the fat loss hasn't seemed to accelerate. it sucks that people can have such bad results. but if I had started while I was still getting drunk every day, I can def see it teaming up with the alcohol to make my dick not work
>>
>>18254075
that's pretty much it, blocking DHT can definitely reduce your libido but actual full blown ED is comorbid with other lifestyle factors. literal trannies who nuke their testosterone to zero usually still have working dicks, even under those conditions it basically takes long term neglect to lose function
>>
>>18254012
How safe is oral min?
I've been on fin for a bit over 1 year now, zero sides, so I want to test stuff out and see how far I can get.
At the moment I recovered all of my lost ground and managed to get additional growth in the corners of my temples.
But seeing some of the guys on tressless getting those insane ape hairlines makes me wonder how much I can push it.
>>
>>18254205
I'm on 10mg, it's pretty safe as long as you acclimate to the dosage you want starting from 1mg and working up after being sure you're not having adverse effects.

You'll have to get used to trimming your nasal hair though because all facial hair will accelerate, not just your hairline.

Fin is FDA approved for hair loss and you generally only would choose dut if fin doesn't work for you
>>
>>18254216
Some people do fin first and if it doesn't work then they switch to dut. Some people get better results on fin than on dut, though.

the fin shill is a literal nation of islam yakub schizo who believes white people are the nephilims
tricking white men into taking dick shrinking quasi tranny pills is his way to get back at white people
if you don't venture outside of this thread:
he spends 8-12 hours every single day of his life spamming anti white stuff on /fa/ /fit/ and /pol/
well known schizophrenic on multiple boards
its shocking you guys take him seriously on here

fin can be the best or worst thing you ever do for yourself. anyone trying to downplay potential side effects or shut down discussion of early signs of them doesn't have your best interests at heart. the risks and benefits should be weighed before deciding to go on it.

he hates you guys with open virtiol. the last thread he was calling me a "baldie" repeatedly until i posted hairline.

if you've seen hairy white women, white women with dreadlocks threads those posts are made by the same schizo who had a meltdown over side effects of fin being caused last thread.
interracial porn? that's him.
spamming pics of nig nogs and white women? same guy shilling fin on here.
schizo ramblings about the nephilims? you guessed it.
unhinged conspiracy theories about russian shills on /fa/? same guy.
the guy who spams doug's pics all the time? 90% sure its him.
anything anti white? good chance he made the post.

if fin is so risk free why is an "outspoken nation of islam yakub white people are the nephilim" schizo so deeply invested in shilling finasteride to a mostly white userbase?
why did he rename the hairloss general to the "balding thread" which is a direct insult to you guys, when he started showing up in these threads?
really gets the almonds moving around.

the finasteride shill has schizotypial disorder so his posts are very recognizable.

Just like being bedridden doesn't really make you undatebale but it will affect your possible relationships a lot.
People want to maximize their success chances and saving your hair definitely helps. Every bald man wishes he had hair again

>>18255236
>>18255245
To obscure it: cut the sides short so the top looks fuller. If it's early on, you can get away with a basic combover.
To reduce hairloss in general:
>use shampoo only every few days, clean with a conditioner daily
>consider topicals containing things like caffeine, peptides, or other skin-healthy ingredients that help circulation, healthy scalp = healthy hair
>>
>>18255248
To be clear, this won't *replace* treatments like fin, but they'll move the needle. DHT is strangling blood circulation to your hair follicles and aging your scalp, so keeping it healthy will help.
>>
>>18255245
Don't worry about hairfall, the initial fin shed will be about the same, you'll lose up to 10% of your hair density as all your dormant telogen hair follicles purge and start the cycle over.
>>
>>18255248
>use shampoo only every few days, clean with a conditioner daily
Do you have any recommendations? I've realized that when I use conditioner while showering, I lose very little hair when it's wet. However, I tend to notice more hair loss right after using shampoo during the shower and in the days following.

Should I buy some vitamins too?

>>18255251

The brand I buy is produced in europe, so I guess it depends

Look for Sulfate Free and Sulfonate Free Shampoo. I personally use the Herbal Essences Jojoba Oil shampoo and conditioner. Good for soothing and hydrating.
Consider lurking /hg/, the skincare general, to get a feel for what people like to put on their faces. It can give a good sense for what ingredients are good for skin.

Okay so level with me here, let's say I get a hair transplant. What would happen if they transplant the hair follicles right on top of existing miniaturized hair follicles, and I start taking fin and the miniaturized follicles start growing again, am I going to have in-grown scalp hairs?

So I finally started thinning on the back of my head and thought about taking fin but since I already have erectile issues when I'm with a girl IRL due to years of porn addiction and I feel like I don't have a lot of testosterone (high voice etc) I won't take it. I'll just start balding and accept it, while using minoxidil to delay it until I'm old enough where it's not weird to be bald (I'm 28). I rarely get morning woods and I haven't even taken Fin. Staying away from that shit
>>
i've been on dutasteride for 5 years and minoxidil for 3. i don't get any side effects. sex drive increased and face and beard irritation i use to get went away, skin cleared up. hair stopped falling as fast, but i haven't really regrown much.. maybe i'm not a good responder to minoxidil. wish i would have started in my early 20s, probably too much lost ground to recover.

Your hairline looks fine but you should also check your crown.

God knows how long DHT has been raping my follicles back there and I was completely oblivious the whole time.

>>18258191
It's not quite completely a cope, it is a thing if you observe how most men with no hair loss in adulthood will still have square hairlines compared to women and children. But since hair loss in an area isn't that noticeable until you've already thinned a lot you can get a false sense of security
>>
At the six month mark and I feel like my hairline got VERY slightly better but the top of my head is still thinned out to fuck. Which is odd because usually people experience the opposite.

Everyone said 6 months is the magic number but I still can't tell if anything is happening. If I at least knew it wasnt going to work then I could give up and cope but now I keep getting these tiny bursts of hope from possible growth that may or may not just be in my head. So now I'm stuck using this shit on the off chance that something may happen. Should 1 year be the cutoff to see whether this is worth it or not? Should I give it longer? Everyone always moves the goalposts when it comes to timeframes but do people who dont see growth after the 6 month mark ever actually have any success?
>>
>>18258255
Lol we're on the same boat. 13 months on fin, brought my hairline back to life, but my crown is still visibly thinner (although an itty bitty less horrible looking than baseline).
Did you also start balding from the crown? I think the first areas that start balding are the most miniaturized ones and therefore take the longest time to improve, or if too late, are unsalvageable without min or a transplant (which is probably my case as I'm considering adding min).
However you're still only 6 months in, which means you still have plenty of time to fully assess your treatment, you should usually wait a year for peak results.

Maybe because most Americans eat shit I wouldn't feed my dog.
>t. American

There's a myriad of other things that, among first world countries, plague America alone. Much of it is due to either our food or over-medication. If there's one thing I envy many European countries for it's that they do a far better job at ensuring unnatural additives or ingredients don't make their way into their food supply.

Eat right fellow citizens and you'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel, like sobering up from a drunken stupor. You'll realize that this is how a human is supposed to thrive.

>but good food is expensive

Won't this cause actual adverse effects?
All the PFS somatic bullshit like depression and mindfog would be far more likely if you go low T.
>>
>>18258578
If anything it improves those in studies. Fin is the one with all the sides.
>>
>>18258581
fin causes sides but blocking testosterone won't?
Go look at your studies and find the part where they mention they're taking estrogen to compensate, you will experience actual adverse effects with low sex hormones of either type.

dude people are living on SSRIs, meth, opiods etc for decades and fine. You really think mild suppression is a bad trade for getting all your hair back and taking 5 years minimum off your skin age?
>>
>>18258591
What about the personality changes?
>>
>>18258591
i agree. its only 12-18 months anyway. ill just do some push ups and help reduce sides a bit

Be careful with cutting fin pills if you have a woman around, it's coated specifically to prevent exposure because it causes birth defects.

>>18258536
It's pretty funny, paranoid bald dudes are discovering spiro as it's starting to fall out of favor with trannies.
>>
>>18258630
Is it because trannies now do monotherapy estrogen injections?
T blockers seem kind of redundant when the body will stop making any T in the presence of high E levels.
Plus there's the whole diuretic thing, is bicaculcamide too strong of an anti androgen for this sort of thing?
>>
>>18258647
More or less, spiro is prescribed by doctors because it's an old and safe drug that has some anti-androgenic activity, but it's a meme among medically educated trannies because it doesn't achieve the actual desired goal of castrate/female levels of testosterone and is usually paired with low dose estrogen pills.

>bicalutamide
Probably not a good idea if you don't want feminization yeah. It's been investigated for androgen-related hair loss in women in mesotherapy form, Dr. Powers Hair Serum has 0.5% bica alongside better known ingredients like minoxidil, ketoconazole, dutasteride etc

I didn't think of Seborrheic dermatits to be a reason for my hairloss actually. Suffering quite some time with it, especially when my hair grows

I have thinning hair, I did 3 sessions of PRP, which actually regrew some hair. Not like back when I was 16 but like here and there I saw some hair.

But here is the thing, I want to go buzz cut, but buzzcut looks shit if your scalp is thinning and the sides are growing fast (and if you are fat) how can I do the buzzcut? I see people online with thinning hair that have a better buzzcut than I did a year ago.
>>
>>18258714
Get on low dose HRT.

NOW.
>>
>>18258720
I am not interested in hrt anon, sorry. I do think that PRP is something that should be looked further it is in the end stemcells. But what will HRT do?

Regardless I need help with the buzzcut
>>
>>18258736
>But what will HRT do?
Make your hair fuller and help make your buzzcut look better.
>>
>>18254012
Stop washing your hair with soap and it will stop falling out.

Your bitch is so mid that even my local stress reliever seems more attractive in comparison

I also hearing about this on /fit/ thinking to try a cycle next month. dont wanna lose my norwood 2. 3 means game over
>>
>>18257631
Can confirm. Similar phenotype. I had that hairline until I started lightly thinning on the crown around 33. I'm 35 and have a small bald spot on the crown already.
Feels bad man.
>>
>indian pharma site has not just fin but dut, spiro, bica, prog, etc.

resisting the urge to cycle anti-androgens for vanity reasons is very hard

You lack iodine pic related

Furthermore
https://www.htandrc.com/blog/ethnicity-and-hair-loss-rates.html
> japan, korea and the rest of east asia

People of East Asian descent and especially Japanese, experience hair loss at one of the lowest rates in the world, and start much later in life than other places. Those that do lose hair, generally, start in their 40s and 50s rather than their 20s and 30s.

East Asians are furthest from the Mediterranean region and also have the lowest rate of baldness which does not seem to be an accident. Incidentally, their baldness rate can range from 20% to the low 30s, which is still a significant portion of the population.

And finally I’ll conclude with this
Japan consumes 10x more idoine than us due to diet
Japanese live longer, less rates of cancers and go bald later

Do not get liquid iodine and start putting it into your water, change your diet to include seaweed and see food at least 2-3 times a weeks and introduce scalp stimulation like link related whenever you shower

Because it is genetic... Is there a increase in baldness for asian people living in the west? no. The more european you are the higher risk you have of possessing the genetic markers for male pattern baldness. It has been this way forever and snake oil will not protect you

https://medihair.com/en/statistics-47-countries-with-the-most-bald-men/

America being ranked #4 amongst hair loss is not indicative of any race being pre determined for hair loss rather the American diet is, this allows you to make more than enough of an inference that diet plays a larger role than genetics, to boot all the countries higher than America have very grain heavy diets which gluten consequently inhibits iodine absorption. And asiatic countries main source of carbs is rice which contains no gluten

chinks consume sóy
sóy shoots their estrogen up
they're multi-generational twinks with hight estrogen and low test
that's why their hair stays

Your little /pol/ screencap concerned itself entirely with the USA.
Give source on gluten inhibiting iodine absorption.
I'd also like to hear an explanation of the alleged mechanism by which iodine deficiency leads to hair loss.
>>
>>18260133
>In conclusion, our data suggest that school age celiac patients present at diagnosis iodine deficiency that partially recovers after one year of a gluten-free diet. This stresses the need for proper dietetic advice on a possible long-term iodine supplementation, especially in these age group patients. Further studies in larger cohorts and hopefully over a more extended study period could be of great help to confirm or deny our findings to better understand the mechanism underlying iodine absorption in celiac patients.

>Hair loss is another possible sign that a person might have an iodine deficiency.

>Thyroid hormones support the hair follicle renewal. When a person has hypothyroidism, a shortage of thyroid hormones means the follicles stop being renewed.

>Hair falls out naturally but is replaced by new follicles. Over time, the fact this stops happening means a person has less hair.


https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/iodine-deficiency-symptoms#TOC_TITLE_HDR_5

>Thyroid hormones help control the growth of hair follicles.

>When your thyroid hormone levels are low, your hair follicles may stop regenerating. Over time, this may result in hair loss (14Trusted Source).

>For this reason, people with an iodine deficiency may also suffer from hair loss (15Trusted Source).

>One study in 700 people found that 30% of those with low thyroid hormone levels experienced hair loss (16Trusted Source).

>However, other studies have found that low thyroid hormone levels only seem to cause hair loss in those with a family history of hair loss (14Trusted Source).

>If you experience hair loss because of an iodine deficiency, getting enough of this mineral may help correct your thyroid hormone levels and stop hair loss.

Your body uses the idoine you consume where it’s needed, your scalp is low on the list. EG low iodine = hair loss

Eat more seaweed

hair loss is not balding. these are two completely different things
>>
>>18259906
this is 100% false btw. Asian men wear wigs. Human hair wigs from india are very high quality and asians with black hair can pull them off without it looking off. native americans are the race with the least balding, and africans the most. asians are equivalent to whites.
>>
>>18260236
Yeah, full blooded Native Americans virtually never go bald, along with having weaker facial/body hair usually. You see a lot of older dudes on reservations with full on John Redcorn hair despite the shitty lifestyle, and the occasional Mexico with no Euro ancestry who has a hairline so low he basically has no forehead.

>giving (You)s to a schizo
Let the jannies deal with him. His central claim is that only one person in these threads promotes finasteride. There's no reasoning with him.
I initially thought he was just a troll but he's so determined and emotional about it that I think he sincerely believes what he's saying.
