Hairloss and baldness

Edit Post

i have been using minoxidil since 3 years. it slows your hair loss but you will continue losing hair.

Edit Post

I see. Any side effects?

Do you have hair fall or miniaturization?

Is Minoxidil better for people with miniaturization?
(oh and if you didn't know, miniaturization is when hair doesn't fall but gets progressively thinner and thinner until the follicles die.)

yes i have miniaturization of the follicles .
Side effects with minoxidil are headache if you use more than the recomended dose and heart palpitations.
when i started the treatmen i had itchy head so i changed the trademark of my minoxidil and it dissapears.
yo should use 1ml in the morning and 1ml in the night. not more.

This is an OLD topic, but I know many people suffer from this (70% of guys will at some point), so I wanted to provide my routine and some research I've done over the past year.

I have a mild receding hairline (NW 1.5 - 2) but it has stabilized over the past year. My routine is:

Ketoconazole shampoo (mild DHT blocker, and clinically proven to help with hairloss but not FDA approved)

Minox (growth stimulant and FDA approved)

400mg Saw Palmetto (some clinical support)

1,000mg pumpkin seed oil (strong clinical support for retention and regrowth)

Dermaroller (strong clinical support for regrowth)

Multivitamin with b vitamins and singing nettle.


I know this is not related to height, but hope it helps someone

I use a shampoo that was given to me by my Dr. I'm afraid  of hairloss as well. I'm only 19 but my testosteron levels are much higher than they are supposed to be, so I'm in a risk group for early hairloss.
Good to get some information about that, weird to see it ona site about LL

If you are losing your hair you really owe it to yourself to give a good try on finasteride and failing that, dutasteride.

I am getting good regrowth on dutasteride at 6 months in. My density is still great. But I still wish I would have started sooner. I'll be getting a hair transplant in a few months to repair my hairline and correct it's general shape/position, which was never very good. Always had too high a hairline. Hoping after that it will be better shaped.

After that, I plan to stay on dutasteride for life to keep my head of hair in prime condition.

Incidence of low libido or erectile dysfunction compared to placebo is very, very low for both finasteride and dutasteride. People worry way too much about that stuff.

thinning or receding hairline is not a concern to me at all

im thinning a bit in the last year, but hairline is okay


I could never put in all the work that I see here, to try to get my hair thicker


My hair is not bad though, so maybe thats why. it just seems like a ton of work... all the shampoos,etc... girls do not even care about this issue at all, since  so many men  get it

Once you start balding, just go all out and shave it completely. It'll be such a relief when you do, according to Joe Rogan.

Edit Post

Fears about finasteride and dutasteride are so overblown. Studies show maybe 2-3% higher incidence on them of impotence vs. placebo. It's a pretty minimal risk.

Everyone who is balding owes it to themselves to at least try one of these for a few weeks/months.
