sup brahs, I did a thread 2 months or so ago about my norwooding shit (https://looksmax.org/threads/my-2-m...d-ropefuel-or-lifefuel.1894599/#post-26481714), heres a little update since im closing in on 4 months soon, this is more so like a 3,5+ month update. (click on the images if they are stretched out)

Again, I am 21 years old male (obviously) natty, I am on 0.5mg dut ed 5% topical minox morning and night, weekly dermastamp of 1,25-1,35mm and I have started using tret 2-3x per week to maximize the gains from topical minox.

My first thread only had 1 temple for comparison I will now show you basically my entire scalp to show how much I have regained and how fucked I used to be (and still am), again I am aware a HT is needed, and that will happen as soon as I finish uni and get a job to actually fund it, but for now I just wanna maximize what I can and regrow as much as possible to both minimize the need of a HT and if needed at least lower the cost needed for it.

Heres my scalp day 0:
1775213107797
1775213721675

Here everything was turbo fucked idk how I was living a normal life with even semi long hair (under my eyes or so) without being turbo insecure of it. you can see thinning practicially everywhere temples and even the top my the hairline which is so fucking brutal for a 21 year old:feelswhy:

1775213202466

here is my hair about 1,5-2months in with minor regrowth for both temples, hairline and the top + I dyed my hair here so its sort of frauding the regrowth but you can see the new hairs coming in around the hairline.

1775213264021
1775213374596

and here is my hair now about 3,5+months in, obvious thickening in the most brutal parts mainly the middle of the top and major hairline improvements, even in the furthers areas of my temples which is finally coming thru. Im practically growing a new hairline here which I am obviously happy over, but its far from perfect:feelswhy:

I am seeing slightly more coming thru in the temples in the forms of both slightly grey looking vellus hairs but also longer vellus hairs which im hoping will turn terminal but im not so sure, so it should lead to an even further thicker look if they do turn terminal, but I dont think it will fully restore it (which is to be expected) but it will reduce the cost of a HT drastically.

Eitherway, this is some kind of regrowth which im happy for when im close to 4 months in, since it HOPEFULLY should show even more results in the 6-12 month mark.

what do you guys think? is it possible that I could get even further gains with time?
And I am planning on hopping on 2.5mg dut and ru58841 around the 6 month mark or so I just want to see what I can recover with my stack for now.

if you are like me norwooding early you NEED to start NOW I cannot stress this enough, the more you wait, the harder it will be to regrow your shit and you might just have to pay alot of fucking money for a hairtransplant, stop fearmongering and get on dut+minox NOW I have 0 sides except for recovering my brutal fucking hairline.

Did you hop on? If your 4 month update was 4 months ago, you'll be pretty close to seeing peak regrowth

Nah I use the same stack as of now, microneedling 1.25-1.5mm weekly tret 4-5 times a week and daily minox 5% morning night and 0.5 dut each morning.

I've moved from nw3-4 to nw2.5-2 I have some tiny hairs coming thru which are prob terminal so with a few more months it will look very restored:Okay:

im not on any roids so I think .5 dut is enough I shouldve just started abit earlier

Mirin brah. Do you use just for skin health, or do you layer it with the minoxidil?

Also, who’s your dut supplier? I’m like nw2, but my hairline has always been fucked. Do you think that dut can grow hair that I didn’t have?

if you mean the tret I use it for both face and for minoxidil yes, some claim you can mix the tret itself into the bottle but I wouldnt trust that just apply a thin layer like 10-30 min before u apply topical minox

telepharma, no it wont create hair follicles that never existed, but ofc if the nw2 has some kind of unnatural thinning (even just a mature hairline) then it will forsure help with minox aswell

Holy shit thats great progress. Did the tret help with the minoxidil response or was it a nothing burger?
im not on any roids so I think .5 dut is enough I shouldve just started abit earlier
hmm it depends. If you're 20 and had a NW 4, you're extremely sensitive to androgens and would've been bald by 22-23. On 0.5mg you've only reduced your scalp DHT by 55%, so you've halved your rate of balding but you're starting at a really high baseline. On 2.5mg you can reduce scalp DHT by 80% and slow balding down to 1/5th of your natural state which should hopefully be enough to hold onto it indefinintely.

I just added it since I already use it for my skin but I already had a response a month in with just fin and minox so I dont think my sulfotransferase enzyme is slacking but tret alone has some mid studies on it so might aswell continue and thx brah:pepeLove:

Yeah I know it's just costwise shit is hard as an uni student I might augment my 0.5 gel caps with some hardcaps I got for dirt cheap even though they are slightly less bioavailable. Though if I continue to lose ground on .5 dut I would literally just end it but I have no crown recession or anything so nw4 mightve been abit overexaggerating on my part its just the temples which again is the most sensitive area so:FeelsSadMan:

I will forsure reassess around the 12 month mark (so in like 4 months) and see what I will do from there but if it continues as it is right now it might do the trick:Okay: if not ill prob blast 2.5 dut or .5dut with ru58841 and get a HT

You should just take the powder form. There's some sources where you can get it for literally dirt cheap, like a 5 years supply of 2.5mg for $150.
