Hair?

Thanks, homosexuals. No, really. With all that talk about 'norwooding', you made me aware of what is happening to my hairline.

I unironically wasn't even aware that is was going on. Now, I can never view the world the same. I am deep down in Norwood stage 3.

But unironically thanks. Now, I am aware that something is going on that I have to stop, or at least slow down.

I identified myself as Norwood stage 3 (pic related, but not mine). The hairline at my temples is about two inches higher than in the middle, forming a very visible M-shape. The hair on my front is much thinner than on my back and sides.

______________

So, bros, what can we do for our hair ISTness? I recently found a pic of myself that is five years old, and the hairline looks basically the same. Is this a good sign?

So far I only started washing my hair with Alpecin (not sure if it does anything though). Is Finasteride our best bet, and how can I convince my skin doctor to prescribe it? How expensive will it be? Should I consider a hair implant, and how expensive will it be at this stage?

And also, you aware that lifting etc. *does* increase DHT, right? Because lifting > more test > test gets converted into DHT

Is there also any effective way of lowering DHT with diet, or other habits?

      Yeah, most people don't want to be UGLY, and will exert the effort equivalent to taking a multivitamin once a day to prevent becoming UGLY. Very few people look okay bald, and nobody looks BETTER bald. A good hair style is the easiest way to boost your attractiveness a solid one or two points alone, and looking good is a simple way to make your life a little better both socially and economically, so why the FRICK wouldn't you try to keep YOUR OWN HAIR? Has life really beaten you this deep into stockholm syndrome, that you would oppose keeping your own fricking hair???

    You are probably not balding and just have a big forehead. Have you noticed any loss of density up top? Nothing you do natty will really increase or lower your DHT levels to affect balding if you dont have a fricked up unhealthy lifestyle. If youre that concerned you can take finasteride or minoxidil and that will be your best bet for most people

      Generally, if you can make it to 35 without balding, you're overwhelmingly likely to keep your hair. Or, at the very least- only start to lose it once you're a decrepid old man. Most people with the balding gene lose their hair in their 20s to early 30s. I can't recall the last time I ever heard someone having a lush head of hair in their mid 30s and they magically started balding at 40 lol

        Also, a few myths about balding: You inherit the baldness gene from BOTH parents. None of this bullshit about your mommy's homosexual daddy was bald, therefore you're doomed to baldness. That's a huge misconception. Also, baldness does NOT "skip" generations. If your dad's dad wasn't bald, and your dad isn't bald, it's not likely that you'll randomly go bald because the bald gene decided to frick you over in particular and "skip"

          I started to notice recession when I was 23-24. My younger brother still has a full head of hair at 28.

          The only way to be totally safe is if your dad has a full head of hair and your mom's dad does too. Otherwise it's a bit of a guessing game.

    Give fin and minoxidil a year to see what they can do. If you don’t like the improvement, then consider a H/T.
    I essentially got a year’s supply for fin for about $30, but those were cheap Polish prices. I was closer to Norwood V or VI, so the doctor said I would probably need 4,500 grafts, but he only did 3,000 as that is about the upper limit for one day. Even with the 3K, after a year it looks so much better.

    I'm the annoying anon whose dick (and balls) got completely destroyed by Finasteride. And while most men on Finasteride don't experience erectile dysfunction, just be aware that there's a chance that you could seriously frick up your genitalia. And nobody seems to know why other people's dicks get destroyed by Finasteride while others don't. But it seems to be more common in men with a history of mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, and, counterintuitively, severe side effects are more common with low dose (1-ish mg) than high dose for whatever reason. And so be extra careful about your decision to take Finasteride if you have a history of psychological issues.

      As someone who's also Norwood 3, I personally recommend topical Minoxidil, derma rollers, red light therapy, and Ketoconazole shampoo. If topical Minoxidil is too annoying for you to use, then I recommend low-dose oral Minoxidil. Just be aware that oral Minoxidil can cause scary heart issues and leg swelling in a minority of users. If none of that works, then I recommend getting an FUE hair transplant from a highly reputable clinic. I got an FUT transplant, 2,650 grafts to be exact, and it was way more annoying than getting an FUE transplant due to the huge incision on the back of your scalp. It also ended up costing me about $12,000 because I had it done in America. And that's on the moderate to lower end. Most of the clinics I did consultations with gave me estimates between $15,000 to $20,000. You can definitely get it done for much cheaper if you go to Turkey or India, but I personally didn't feel comfortable doing that. You also have to keep in mind that needing to get a 2nd procedure down the road is not uncommon, especially if you don't use Finasteride. Also, I recommend trying to find a talented hair surgeon that's near you because it makes the logistics much easier. But if you can't, then I recommend booking a hotel for at least 4 days following your procedure because you have to spray your head every 30 minutes to an hour. And doing that while on a plane is embarrassing. I also don't recommend driving yourself if it's more than like 3 hours away. I made the mistake of driving myself home for 7 hours the day after my procedure, and I legit started to hallucinate because I could barely sleep for days and was pumped full of pain killers. I also nearly passed out several times and almost crashed.

        I have no idea. I've been to several different urologists looking for answers, including at Johns Hopkins and George Washington University, and none of them had a solution. Only one of them had ever even heard of someone suffering from sexual side effects lasting more than 4 weeks. They just gave me prescriptions for Viagra and Cialis and sent me on my way. And so I had to do research online myself, and that's when I learned that it's called Post Finasteride Syndrome.

        Here's the most detailed medical paper that I've found.

        https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S235228951930061X

        But it doesn't offer any solutions either, besides neuroactive steroids possibly helping - which I'm not willing to try because they sound dangerous as frick.

        And as to why Finasteride harms people like me but not you; who knows? You see that a lot with all sorts of meds and foods. I can eat peanuts all day without issue, whereas somebody else will die from eating a single peanut. Likewise, some people can take the Covid vaccines without issue, while in other people it makes their flesh rot off. The human body is insanely complex and diverse and reacts to things in wildly different ways.

    The reason its such a problem is because in modern society men are not getting established until their late 20s/early 30s, by then they have hit the wall in more ways than one and reproduction potential is severely diminished. Its a cruel joke that by the tim theyve achieved money and stability, biology onliterates their looks. Men should be cumming in woman's veganas early 20s latest.

      There have been other periods in history where this was the case. During certain phases of both the Roman and Medieval periods, it was common for men to marry later. The big difference with modern life is that establishing yourself doesn't do much for you because women can now easily support themselves, and they have no interest in settling for an unattractive provider when they don't particularly need to be provided for. Both older men and older women are finding out that they have nothing to offer that the opposite sex needs or wants.

        I can get all sciency with you anon

        minoxidil leads to hypertrichosis, if taken topical or orally, on any part of the body EXCEPT the scalp. Use it to make you eyebrows or bear grow. It's game over once the genetic bomb explodes once a scalp hair gets in contact with androgens
        finasteride does not lead to hair regrowth, and delays the fall of other hair by an average of 10 years, so it still catches up. So if the norwood reaper already came to you, it won't fix it
        if you want regrowth, become a troony and take spironolactone 400 mg each day, but you will enjoy the gynecomastia and smoother skin I guess, also you will piss a lot

        don't even reply to me, you are a moron that hasn't read one pubmed article, you aren't a medical professional like me, all you can do is repeat the same dogshit hairloss memes and other voodoo magic that is popular for most idiot weak men blaming their failure on their looks

    I can very well say the finasteride cult works swiftly and the brainworms they inflict on men are the non-troony version of body dysmorphia.
    It's not an exaggeration that i was starting to hyperfocus on hairlines of people my age (~30yo) and feeling tinges of jealosy for women with perfect hairlines.
    I was also on the verge of not being able to enjoy anime anymore cus anime girls have all this luscious thick perfect hair and perfect hairlines too.

    If you think you're balding and thinning, yes, your hair is fricking going. If your hair is falling out at smaller and smaller lengths, yes, you're fricking balding.
    I was fence sitting for 8 months about my diffuse thinning on one side of my hairline actually being hair loss or just stress, the shrinking hairs was what got me to fold and buy the fricking fin, if you're on the fence or can't remember how thick your hair used to be, they won't hurt if you're magically immune to DHT already, maturing hair lines are a fricking myth.
    You can split them into 0.25mg quarters if you're afraid of sides, they'll be 90% as effective, you don't wanna regretting not taking them when your fricking forehead is too far gone.

        Bs. It alters your hormonal profile so the more you take, the more it’s altered, the less DHT you have and the more sides you (possibly) get.
        You can even start with 1mg/week. No need to take it every day unless you are NW100

Just throw a fricking hat on and get over it. At least if you’re male you can lean into being bald. I have to spend thousands of dollars on a wig just to pretend I have healthy hair.

      I've suffered from a similar scalp condition for about 20 years. I would get these super persistent and painful bumps on the back of my scalp that would bleed on my pillow when I laid down. My previous dermatologist had me taking oral antibiotics like Tetracycline, Doxycycline, and Minocycline every single day for over 10 years. And he also had me applying topical antibiotics like Clindamycin every single day for over 10 years. It only improved my condition by maybe 50%. And every single time I cut my hair with electric clippers, I would have these absolutely horrendous outbreaks all over my scalp, face, and neck. And so I can only cut my hair with scissors now. And the chronic use of antibiotics caused me to develop an incurable scalp condition called gram-negative folliculitis - which was proven twice in a scalp culture. I went to several different dermatologists looking for answers and tried several different types of creams, steroids, and oral medications like Bactrim - which I had an allergic reaction to. Nothing really worked. Only oral Ciprofloxacin helped, but only temporarily. Once I stopped taking it, the painful bumps and sores came back. And so now I've been told by 5 different dermatologists and 2 different infectious disease experts that my only option left is to take low-dose Accutane for the rest of my life - which I'm obviously super scared of since I know it will eventually destroy my body. Every day I worry that it will damage my liver and it will show up in bloodwork, and my dermatologists won't let me take Accutane anymore. And once that happens, my skin will eat me alive. At that point, my only option left is suicide because I don't want to be covered in disgusting bumps while also constantly being in pain. And so be very careful not to make the same mistake that I did and overuse antibiotics. Find a good dermatologist who actually knows what they're doing. Most of them are incompetent and couldn't give less of a shit about you.

          Are you using any other hormonal drug/steroid/sarm? How long did you used finasteride

          I am using finasteride for 15 days and my libido still high as usual, but I still fear any side effect. I was reading about fin side effects and the pos fin syndrom literally just crippled ne, I don't care much about losing libido, but the suicidal mood, memory loss and penis shrinking just scared me.

          I was thinking about switching from finasteride to saw palmetto.

          >Are you using any other hormonal drug/steroid/sarm?
          Also no. But I was drinking lots of onions at the time (not a meme). And so maybe that's why I had such severe side effects.
          >How long did you used finasteride
          Only about 5 weeks. My sex drive actually soared for the first few weeks. And so I thought I lucked out because I was having the exact opposite reaction that I was worried about. But then I woke up one morning in week 5 with virtually zero blood flow to my penis. It was shriveled up to half its normal length and girth, and it was literally cold to the touch. And my testicles shrunk and were tucked in super close to my body. It was as if I jumped into ice water. This lasted over a year. And I'm still not back to 100% 6 1/2 years later. I had absolutely zero problems with my dick before this by the way. If anything, I was getting too many erections. And so 100% it was the Finasteride, and no amount of "Pfft. That's impossible. You're just crazy, bro" will convince me otherwise.

          If you get unlucky like me and you wake up with erectile dysfunction one day, start taking 5mg of Cialis and 1,500mg of Citrulline x2 every single day. And use a penis pump for a few minutes every day as well. You need to return normal blood flow back to your penis as soon as possible, or else you'll do permanent damage to your dick like me.

          And some people experience severe erectile dysfunction from saw palmetto as well, although it's much more rare.

            I pick at mine constantly. I shaved my head once before and it cleared up immediately. I shaved today and haven’t picked since then and have been applying hydrocortisone. Seems to be working. I’ll document this for future reference. Last time I shaved I deleted the photos but it kept the sores away for over a year.

      Treat it with anti fungals bro.
      That reaction is due to excessive sebum production which fungus/yeast feed on which then triggers your immune system to get inflamed like that.

      I have minor dandruff and some flaky skin on my face occasionally, but it's the same condition.

        Anti fungal is pretty much the only thing I’m not lathering on right now. I have psoriasis cream, hydrocortisone, and lotion. If that does not improve it by the time i go to the store next I’ll get some anti fungal. It does also show up around my ears and a little on my chin.

      Take fin for 2 years then assess from there, 60% of men literally do not respond to min, you could get great results from fin and be a non responder to min yet you will be unable to stop because you have no idea what's working because you started 2 treatments at once, they are two seperate treatments and should never be started at the same time

        The same reason why i started taking finasteride and took on the 2% chance of erectyle disfunction rather than going bald and having the 100% chance of becoming unfrickable.
        Btw i had a hair transplant 3 months ago, so excited to see it grow. Now that i've took the double plunge it's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Up until 2 years ago i was thinking i was destined to remain an incel forever, now the future is bright.

      Except it is known. People who bald due to genetics have a weird pattern rate which aromatase activity decreases. This activity is essentially estrogen dominant and keeps the scalp immune to dht fricking your shit up. Just like how only 40% of minoxidil users are responding to it, due again to genetics, the lack of an enzyme that converts minox into it's active form. We have identified what androgen fricks up the hair and have found finasteride to lower the dht enough on the scalp, for some to regrow or maintain their hair longer than they would have otherwise. There are topical anti androgens like ru58841 that can bind to androgen receptors locally and keep dht from walking in and shitting on the hair follicle. But this doesn't really take care of the main reason of the scalp being sensitive to dht in the first place. Increasing aromatase activity will bring your scalp back to its juvenile environment and allow your hair to come back without need for minoxidil nor finasteride as there is no need. But the cut off is feminization.
      >Tldr Aromatase activity in the scalp determines how we bald , topical estradiol/estriol can bring your hair back from the grave, but you'll lose your manhood
