Show us before pic if you don't have one no one can tell you except yourself. Imo wait till NW 1,5-2 to be sure and after you can easily get back to NW1 with minox and fin-ru.

when you say before do you mean like 2 years ago or a couple months ago tho?
 
Earliest the better, though could still be maturing hairline (I swear someone better not tell me to cope for saying this)

Hard to tell ngl, how old are you, id guess you're 17 if this started now. I don't advise going on finesteride if you're under 18 (even though I started at 17 and still going :feelskek: ) cause DHT is not just about hair like I used to think and side effects are common. If anything buy RU but it's costly, that's why I say wait a bit more and monitor :feelsokman:

(Nice brow ridge)

thanks alot! i am 18 and i was thinking Dutasteride wouldnt be the end of the world maybe. the side effects dont seem bad and even gpt is telling me its not dangerous :unsure: by the way what side effects did you encounter with fin?

No sides. But never start on dut it's way too strong for beginners you experiment on fin and when shedding eventually starts again you hop on dut.

Sexual side effects are real I've seen people on Reddit having to get on proviron to reset DHT from how bad their sides were (Libido, mood, ED, ejaculation volume).

Only thing I'm sad about is my beard hasn't grown a hair more and won't connect till I get Ru, good thing is beard grows till later in life.

DHT is also important for bone remodeling (mandible, brow ridge, chin, overall density)

You most likely won't get sides though so don't worry for now

Uh oh norwood reaper is knocking on the door. Down 10mg of dutasteride ASAP and get rid of the poison (DHT).

Edit: This isn't a joke, stop the JFL reacts. Treat your hair follicles with more respect.

Np good luck, don't think about sides cause in the end you'll get placebo. Buy proscar and cut it into 4 it's 5 times cheaper than 1mg fin.
