if balding really was so terrible guys would take finasteride instead of being scared of by side effects

[homo_faber]

guess deep down many guys are just ok with being sexual invisible

 

[Schizoidcel]

Not many males actually know about finasteride until they start really caring & researching about baldness srs, but at that point it's most likely too late to regrow anything decent unless you're a hyper-responder.

loox, ioi's, and validation are more important.

 

[Deleted member 13372]

To me yeah id rather not take it not cus im okay with balding deep down, butrather cus side effects are just too brutal for one to take.

Id let my hair completeting fall off and get a hair transplant tbh. Ive seen a guy get one irl it looks really good.

this
the mantra in normal society is such that nothing can be done about it. Plus fin isnt promoted or is banned in some countries.

There’s a feedback loop of men making the mistake of going bald, and then coping by telling everyone else to shave it off bro. People who just go bald aren’t looking at blackpill content, so they see the bluepills and believe them.

wrong, you wont get sufficient density if you receeded beyond the norwood 3 line. it will look absolutely shit. it will still look like your balding and its obvious you got a hairtransplant.



all the good results you see are either guys who go from norwood 2 to 1 with dense packing, guys who were around norwood 5 and started finasteride at the same time (hence experienced rewgrowth at the same time or guys who fraud with concealer and at that point you could just aswell use a hairpiece its the same level of frauding)


this is how mgk looks like when doesnt put half of tube of concealers on his scalp

literally

Yeah, I think the key concept to accept when dealing with hair transplants is you are never going to be creating true density. The goal is the ILLUSION of density.

Surgeons all max out now at 50-60 units/cm2 for safe max transplantation. I find it hard to find data on the exact average "FU density" of natural hair but I found this interesting surgeon's site. He lists some stats on some of his patients.

For example for this hair transplant, the surgeon says it was:

Native density: 72, 93 and 88 FU/cm2 in temporal, parietal and occipital areas
Recipient density: 56 to 61 grafts/cm2
So if you have high native density of around 90 FU/cm2, and you get a 55 FU/cm2 "high density" transplant, you are left with only 61% of your natural density.

Can this create the illusion of natural hair? Perhaps. Is it the same as your natural hair? Obviously not by a long shot.

It's actually very disappointing to consider in many ways, as there is no conceivably way to improve this even with limitless donor supply. It simply has to do with incisions, blood flow, and scalp healing.

Imagine being scared of taking finasteride

Do you take it?

 

[Gargantuan]

Do you take it?

I do, have been taking it since July of 2020.

I also had a hair transplant in January of this year, so I'm gonna have to continue using fin anyway. I don't mind taking it though, haven't experienced bad sides at all.

I see. Im kinda scared of losing my sex drive/ libido. Did you make a blood test etc before taking it?

Yeah prior to them prescribing me fin, I had to undergo 1 blood test and it turned out fine.

do you lose lots of hair when you stop taking it? i would take it but what if i wanted to get a bitch pregnant and had to stop taking it for a couple months

It's just hair bro. Shave it off it starts thinning. You don't want to risk any potential side effects of taking something like Finasteride.

I believe you can get better density but you need multiple transplants?

yes but obviously you restricted by the numbrt of donor hairs and how much you have to cover

 

[Gargantuan]

Probably. I guess I would do the same thing in that instance, its the safest thing to do.

You could switch to RU instead when you quit fin for a few months.

 

[Gargantuan]

Where did you get the hair transplanted? Were you norwooding?

Yeah heavily, I was nw3 or at least very close to it.

dont switch to any topicals when u have a pregnant wife in the house lol

topical stuff gets easily transmitted (eg she grabs your hair) and then it could effect your baby.

2019 STUDY: results of 10 year finasteride usage

im taking it for 12 years without any side effects. i think it slowly starts to stop working though

lookism.net

in case anybody is interested:

I'm not currently on any hair loss medication but started using finasteride at 20 when I was experiencing pretty significant hair loss at the temples - quite a bit of recession. finasteride was great for my hair and I haven't had any hair loss while on it. I quit exactly a year ago at 29 years old. The reason was that i wanted to become a father (wife is in her 6 month of pregnancy now) and i just didn't want to take meds anymore for something so superficial.

I know I struggled when I was going off it because there was so much misinformation online about what happens when you quit and it was freaking me out. So I told myself I would come back on here and post my results a year after, praying that my hair loss would not be significant... hoping that it helps at least one person get through the awful anxiety of losing their hair.

There's a lot of bullshit out there and some of it is propagated by paranoid users and I even believe the makers of propecia/finasteride to keep people on the drug, talking about catch up hair loss - that when you quit, you'll rapidly lose all the hair you would have lost like you didn't even take the drug - basically a fast forward to the point where it's like you never took the drug at all - I'm on here to tell you this is absolute bullshit.

Have I lost hair? Yes, I've had hair loss, but nothing that would describe it as significant. Mild and slow thinning continuing in the temple area which is where it would have continued. It's so unnoticeable I just noticed it in the last month when I was browsing through older pictures.

So please don't let the fear of what happens. finasteride is basically a pause button (and for some, it's not even a pause button, but slows down hair loss). When you quit, you'll resume your normal loss of hair.

How do I know this besides experiencing it myself?

1) I talked to 3 doctors who told me exactly that
2) I googled and googled and couldn't find much out there - think about it - if that was actually the case, you'd see hundreds of thousands and even millions of people freaking out online about 'catch up hair loss'
3) The anecdotal evidence on forums was limited too... I saw a poll ones where people just said they had mild loss but there wasn't much out there.
3) It just doesn't make sense from a biological perspective. How does your hair 'know' what it would have been like without the drug? When I was freaking out when I was quitting, I couldn't think logically cause I was so emotionally attached that the logical part of my brain turned off. But if you think about it, it makes 0 sense.
4) The people who experience significant loss (which again, I couldn't find much of online) were losing rapidly when starting finasteride - again you resume your natural pace of hair loss after quitting.

Don't let misinformation like this stop you from quitting. Continue on with the drug if you want but quit if you want too, and don't let it wreak havoc on your mental health.

Damn that's true lol, I guess you have to be willing to sacrifice some hair if you want to start a family as a baldingcel, brutal.

Agreed. But too late for me and many others, who were unfortunate enough to have experienced balding in their teenage years.
