As a young man you should be willing to throw every penny you have at maintaining your hair/hairline.

Good fucking lord he’s at a NW2 and it’s already getting bad

More Norwood reaper fuel.
Prettyboy death is almost always 80% mediated by balding mark my words

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10084176/


Balding is extremely negative in under 26 and/or single males.

It slashed facial attractiveness by at least ~50% in most cases

Honestly should be a bannable offence fearmongering 5-at inhibitors and minoxidil on this site

Depends on age. If you can I’d wait until 20-22 range to start a DHT blocker just in case, unless you’re Norwooding early then doctors will prescribe at 18.

Minoxidil can be used really at any age and it’s pretty easy to use x2 results if you dermastamp. I personally also take 5mg oral minoxidil as well.

Issue with waiting to check for balding is by the time you notice you’ve already lost significant ground, you can guesstimate looking at your father and your maternal grandfather for when you will bald in order to prevent it.

If you start noticing an increased shed of thin hairs <4cm in length that’s a sign you are losing hair

 

[Niebvll]

You're scaring me so much

 

[ThomasDeutsch]

You really cant afford to get past norwood 2-2.5 as a normie
Being bald is worse than being fat

 

[zap]

Always said/heard that hair is 50% of your attractiveness. Funny to see there's actually a study confirming it

 

[laflmkid]

as a young gay man hair is so important

What about Topical DHT blockers?

 

[Rabbi]

Depends on what kind of gay you are ig

What about Topical DHT blockers?

They work but are more expensive. Topical finasteride in studies reaches similar systemic levels as oral after a few weeks it’s very permeable so imo it’s redundant. Idk about topical dutasteride on the other hand.

Could always go for topical RU but need a legit source and it’s stability is questionable

Do you think someone should start using a topical DHT blocker along with minoxidil if they're 18 and only have a maturing hairline (not a Norwood pattern)?

 

[Rabbi]

Very difficult to determine matured hairline vs balding they’re driven by the same process of androgens it’s just that one continues.

If it’s not much I’d recommend using minoxidil + a dermastamp on the hairline and if it looks like you are balding consider getting fin from a doctor when you are 20-21

domestic out of US I have private vendors, and companies.

Good shit, what do you reconstitute with?

 

[emogymmaxx]

raw powder
95% ethanol
propylene glycol

How long have you been using and any benefits?

 

[emogymmaxx]

How long have you been using and any benefits?

since i hopped on nearly a year ago, works when i use it. shedding when i don't that comes back with longish use and top minox

 

[Rabbi]

Thought about oral min? Very easy to use imo works on the lashes and brows too

dutasteride and forget. never worry about hair ever again in your life

 

[Rabbi]

Dut + oral min is the lazy man’s hairloss cure

 

[him.]

Dut + oral min is the lazy man’s hairloss cure

agree, but if you hop on in time, no need in min either

 

[Deleted member 93861]

Dut and min
HTs till exhaustion of donor zone
Hair dye once greying
Hair system if all else fails

 

[SfPBP]

Hop on dut? even if I have good hair genes no balding in family, did just hop on test

 

[Rabbi]

If you’re on test it’s a good idea, you’re already in an androgen surplus. Might need an AI though

Thank you rabbi

Don’t bother. Enough evidence suggesting they don’t work at all.

 

[Repentsinner]

Finasteride made me a fucking tranny and suicidal

 

[elieplayees]

why dutasteride over finasteride ?

 

[Rabbi]

Elab

why dutasteride over finasteride ?

More suppression of DHT. Most people can get away with just fin it preference really

 

[1up]

You're scaring me so much

good I hope you lose more hair tmr

 

[him.]

why dutasteride over finasteride ?

finasteride stops working for many people or simply isnt enough, 0.5 dut or 2.5 for the most agressive insane cases is the guarantee of hair not falling out. plus it can destroy your acne and make you age better, just mirin this drug

 

[abcd]

I logically should take fin or dut or something but i already have no libido and don't really care about sex tbh idk what's wrong with me. Also my hair loss has been so gradual that I just cope that it's not a big deal tho I am nw2 at the age of 20

Look at your male relatives and make the decision tbh

Get your hormones checked with a doctor though

if you already don’t care about sex, then what are you even risking?

Tbh I’d be worried about hormonal issues if he’s young with no sex drive

Ye for sure maybe I have low test or something.

And ye my older brother still has good hair at 25 and my maternal grandad was like nw2-3 in his 30s so I'm not really that bothered I'm not gonna be NW4 next year
