Norwoodcels [GTFIH] Natural way to reverse male pattern baldness

[gymislife]

So if you are noticing first signs of hair loss, the first action to take is to start using nizoral ~2x a week, it reduced my hair loss.
The 2nd step is to take saw palmetto supplement because it is a 5α-reductase inhibitor, I believe just alone those 2 things stopped my hair loss, I used to lose 50-100 hairs a day at 17 y/o and now at 19 I lose like 10 hairs in the shower.
The 3rd step that I'll do now is to add astaxanthin as it is a 5α-reductase inhibitor aswell and it's really great for skinmaxxing.
However there are some claims like:

Some people have reported that saw palmetto causes impotence.

and

What are the risks of taking astaxanthin?

• Lower libido
• Male breast growth
• Erectile dysfunction

But there is actually a study done on both combined and it says:

One small study showed astaxanthin combined with saw palmetto actually increased testosterone, which could help libido.

So combining them both can not only stop the hair loss but it could also boost libido. I've been taking 500 mg of saw palmetto for 2 months now and I've been hornier than ever.
I'm not sure if those 2 would be as effective 5α-reductase inhibitor as finasteride but for me it seems to work. If you're in an early stage of male pattern baldness I'm pretty sure it could buy you a few years before you have to hop on finasteride.

For NW2cels like me here is another lifefuel - there was a study done on mice showing that dermarolling + peppermint oil has greater effect for hair regrowth than minoxidil.
Source 2
It is a mouse study so it's not very promising but 2 different people showed me proof of regrowing from NW2 to NW1 just by doing that, so it's a must try.

It's obviously not 100% sure that it will work for every single individual but by doing that you might get similar results to that of fin + minox but in more of a natural and safe way.

That's also a great way to improve the skin quality:
There's some claims that saw palmetto could reduce oily skin and improve acne in some individuals and astaxanthin could reduce skin damage, redness and loss of skin moisture by UV rays , it could also improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles and also improve the moisture content in the skin. Some users here also report getting a healthy rose skin glow from the astaxanthin.

Both the saw palmetto and astaxanthin have some other benefits too but they could also cause side effects in some people. If something is natural it doesn't mean it is always side-effect free.
If you are below 18 I don't recommend lowering your DHT levels as they're important in puberty.
Do your own research before implementing any of the claims stated above.

Unless you have a huge cock this is not great since blocking DHT is reducing dick growth most likely, topical finasteride is probably as far as i'd go for blocking DHT in teens because it has a bit less systemic absorption and is very effective. Also i don't understand the natural argument tbh, if it works you will get the same sides as the unnatural equivelent.

lowering DHT increases actual T in the body since you're just slowing down the conversion.

Lower DHT also means E will go up & lower actual T after a short while. Tiny difference though but you don't want to block dht if you're younger then 25-26
