My hair is going, folks. I need a solution.
I can just let it go. It wouldn't make me happy. I doubt it would look attractive. But maybe if I prepare myself now, mentally, that'll help than going kicking and screaming into it.
Or I can take finasteride (I've picked up a 1mg pill prescription). However, the side affects seem pretty ghastly.
At the very least, I will suffer from "watery cum", decreased libido, and (temporary) erectile dysfunction. These are the "common" side effects.
Then there are the more serious side effects. Apparently gynecomastia pops up in 15% of users (which seems pretty high). Apparently it's possible to *lactate* (???) from a man's nipples. And then it supposedly increases anxiety and depression in a minority of cases (which, I'm already kind of feeling already). I really don't know what to do.
Should I just cut the Gordian knot and shoot myself? God apparently seems to want to push me in this direction.
Anyways, any advice would be appreciated.

i was going to take fin then i realized i'd have to take it the rest of my life and the moment i got off it my balding would resume. seemed a little futile
Skip finasteride. Just use rosemary oils. The hair loss drugs that pharma sells is derived from rosemary. So skip all the weird additives they cram in those pills and just use the natural resource straight from the plant. That way you get the benefits without the side effects. If you got any doubts, google rosemary oil + hair loss. It’s backed by studies, so it isn’t bullshit I’m peddling.
Picrel, before and after rosemary oil.
t. autistically researched hair loss for 2 years now
1. rosemary oil is PROVEN ineffective. studies. science. don't waste your time. can provide video.
2. you can always try TOPICAL finasteride as well as LOWER doses, both topically or orally.
even .25 mg still gives most of the DHT reduction of 1 mg - it's just dogma and people don't read studies. most derms don't know about any of this or the hormonal implications AT ALL
Me personally I use .6 mg of topical finateride liquid every other day. works great for my situation and no sides besides. slight gyno which is just from me literally searching for it.
WHY THE FRICK (sorry uwu) would you put a solution meant for your HEAD into your body crushing DHT systemically. think about this logically.
if you want to whine about how its inconvenient or hard to source or whatever then fine, try oral.
JUST MY TWO CENTS ^_^

You didn't need to tell me that (although I appreciate it).
>slight gyno which is just from me literally searching for it.
Mmm.
>most derms don't know about any of this or the hormonal implications AT ALL
Yikes.
>JUST MY TWO CENTS ^_^
No, fair enough, you give good advice, I can see you've thought about this for a while. I appreciate it, thank you.
I guess I better just put a shotgun in my mouth or something. Anyways, thanks all.
np baldy
No worries - one of my favorite studies on this with like 350 subjects showed that topical finasteride gave almost no plasma concentration and very little serum DHT reduction.
"Efficacy and safety of topical finasteride spray solution formale androgenetic alopecia: a phase III, randomized,controlled clinical trial"
this study used .25 - .5 mg topically daily. lower dosages then you can probably find commercially
If you feel like there's no option - this is definitely something to consider. You can literally start with .25 mg topically and then work up based on how you feel. (not medical advice)
you might be able to sustain with little intervention depending on how agressive/how late you discovered this
I don't believe in topical because fin prevents t from turning into dht, and preventing this from happening right at the scalp wouldn't do much as there would still be a lot of dht in circulation
>rosemary oil is PROVEN ineffective. studies. science. don't waste your time. can provide video.
No it isn’t. If it was ineffective, then why the frick are the same drugs you’re shilling derived from rosemary oil then?
I'm not shilling anything! if you want to use cope methods, be my guest.
Also - you would need 2000x the concentration of rosemary extract to get close to finasteride!
I'll just be prettier than you ^_^
Maybe you can be prettier than me but at least I don’t use
> ^_^
I’d take blistering baldness over that any day
^_^
>Finasteride, go bald, or just shoot myself?
shoot finasteride at your baldness
use a wig for heaven's sake. Finasteride is a israelite drug that'll destroy ur dick, cognition, mood and gut health.
Just try finasteride, start with .25 mg every other day.
I did it for a year and had no side effects so I upped it to .5 just because it's easier to split the pills that way. My libido is still high, maybe my cum is a little more watery but I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't read up on it
Just accept it pussy, shave it off.
The weight of a bit of hair will remove the weight of being a girly, self obsessed pussy.
Love.
P.S.
>t. someone who held on too long, shaved their head, and is too busy living life to care about something beyond their control.
This anon knows what's up. My bald ass head hasn't stopped me from getting attention from women, it's my own personal issues that stop me from ever going anywhere with girls that flirt with me.
I don't know why I still get attention, either, I'm a pretty normal looking guy, and I'm a manlet at 5' 7", but it happens. Baldness won't stop you if you have something women like
You got ten grand? Cause those laser helmet things actually work, but you're gonna have to fork over some crazy money for one.
Or you could just be less of a b***h and deal with it, saving the several thousand dollars
It'll do a bit for sure but unless you address the root cause of hair loss (DHT), you're fighting a losing battle.
It's like swimming against a river and then drinking an energy drink to swim harder and still flailing down the river as opposed to getting in a boat and sitting stable.
I'd rather be bald than a queer like you
if being free of the white means being like you, then i don't want to be cured
cope, finasteride only raised my test >:3
how old are you and when did it start
25, four months ago. I still have my hair but it's becoming patchy.
You probably started balding closer to 18 or 20 and are just now noticing. If you look exactly like the picture you post at 25 that gives you about 5-10 years until you are norwood 6-7 territory with the full horseshoe and baby hairs on the top. Sorry. Its not abnormal though. You rate of loss is high average i guess you could say.
>You probably started balding closer to 18 or 20 and are just now noticing.
This is possible, although it seems like the rate that I've been losing my hair, in these past four months, has quickly picked up.
>Its not abnormal though.
Baldness runs in my mother's family, so I do think it's unique to me. There are other guys who get to their forties and have a full head of hair.
>maybe wear a simple cap or something
This guy is one Taqiyah away from looking like a white Muslim. Thank you, but it's not the kind of look I'm looking to cultivate.
>cope, finasteride only raised my test >:3
>Finasteride is a israelite drug that'll destroy ur dick, cognition, mood and gut health.
All the reactions to Finasteride have seemed to hit one of these two poles, and it definitely hasn't raised my confidence in the drug.
Go full slaphead, build up the rest of yr body because skinny baldies look like they have the AIDS-uh, be a man.
Go bald, grow a beard, start lifting, maybe wear a simple cap or something
Yea and subscribe to r/bears and r/rickandmorty while youre at it.
That's the guy from m8l8th, anon.... Dude has been in psych ward for several murders and robberies of migrants. He is wanted by the Russian Federation
Minoxidil and microneedling are the most effective non life destroying treatments. You'll still lose your hair eventually though.
Accept that you're going to get old and die.
Not only is your hair going to go but you health is going to deteriorate, you'll get tired, ugly and sick and then you're going to die.
That's the best case scenario.
Just accept it and then you can make the best of it.
Balding here. I'm old. That's the reality. I'm not going to fool myself or anyone into thinking I'm still young. My end is getting closer. My balding head just reminds me that it will all be over sooner than before. Old. Old. Old. Acceptance.
Shave it and move on. Understand that some women won't like it and it'll be a deal-breaker but that's just the trash filtering itself out. Don't take chemicals, pills or snake oil. Shaving it and moving on is what separates you from being a woman stuck in an ever losing battle to remain "youthful". I went through the same thing in my 20's but now in my mid 30's I don't even shave it.
Eat zinc supplements, skip finnie. On top of having stronger hair you will also get large amount of cum being produced in your balls.
Then use aloe vera, I dont recommend a shampoo, but try using a tonic or hair vitamin or hell, just get the plant, take one of them, crack them open and smear their liquid to your hair. Aloe vera is good for hair regeneration.
You'll need to have a stronger hair first before you can regrow them.
