Alright IST, think im finally getting visited by the reaper. Seems like these are hairs on my hairline miniaturizing? So nows the time to be proactive and start finasteride or something right? Am i supposed to go to doctor for that or something? I have very thick full medium length hair, so didnt think this was gonna happen. Half the threads on this board talk about hair loss, do you guys have some definitive guide yet? Also was just coming off creatine for the past few months when i noticed it, would like to get back on but probably a bad idea now.
Anybody have experience with this? Also my scalp and the front where the hairs are seems to feel slightly irritated but maybe thats my hypochondria
You don't get visited by any reaper, you dumb fricking idiotic Black person.
You just spend too much time here and now you're a paranoid frick. But sure, hop on troony roids and destroy your dick forever.
post hairline
stop trying to get medical advice from your troony sites. it's prescribed to trannies for the same reason it's prescribed to other males, to stop hairloss. it actually increases testosterone, no wonder a troon article is outright wrong. you will never be a woman, you have no eggs, etc.
3 months on fin here. feeling better than ever
but I do feel a bit moronic, sometimes I take a shameful amount of time to solve mathematical/logical problems that are pretty fricking easy, maybe this is the brainfog people talk about while on fin or I'm just getting older, we will never know
I’ve been on fin. Proactively, my dads half bald and has been for 30 years, and I was worried that one of my temples was receding
I take 0.25mg every day, that’s a 1mg pill split into quarters. Works out to being 40 bucks a year for me
No sides
Rogaine is expensive but will keep what you have (and by "keep what you have" I mean both your hair and your erection strength)
topical minoxidil is like $40 for a year's supply and a single bottle of that stuff can last you a whole year if you take topical min orally, 2-4 drops a day is equivalent to the dosages in pill-form oral min.
It'll probably go bad before you even finish it so I wouldn't buy more than a 6 bottle supply.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/comments/t6yl3b/complete_guide_to_orally_taking_topical_minoxidil/
If you're already norwooding, would Dut or Fin be best to pair with topical min?
started doing this and it really revived my hairline. read that the solution loses potency around 3 months after opening in case anyone else tries it
What about using the drops sublingually?
Also any experience using oral min as a pump pwo? It's a vasodilator like Cialis or citrulline.
stops working after 2 years though
rogaine doesn't stop hairloss, it's a growth stimulant and only works for as long as you use it. you still need a 5ar inhibitor or a topical antiandrogen with it
dude how old are you
30, why?
need a before shot
is this the reaper? what do IST?
4 different scenarios, 4 different angles. Frick off
No way, you were Jerma985 a year ago? That dude made it rich off of baldcoin
Did you shampoo recently before the pic? It's normal for some smaller hairs to fall down over your forehead like that when your hair has no grease in it. See how it looks when you comb it back when it's a bit oilier.
I have these while on fin. Hairline has stayed put since starting 4 years ago so I’m not too worried.
anyside effects at all? Also what dose
No sides at all, 1.25mg Proscar
How many hours do you spend a day reading or scrolling about hair loss? You've been psyoped lol.
What about me? I'm 22 and I'm getting paranoid since it's starting to become kinda noticeable from my left side (since I comb it to the right). Or maybe I've been on this site too much too.
as a guy who looks for it since I have it mildly, yeah you're receding. Unless the front-mid has looked like that since you were 15 or something. The only thing to look at before you hop on fin/min/microneedling is nutrient deficiencies and present symptoms of other issues. A multivitamin / liver and d3 solve most of the nutrient issues. For other things, have you developed chronic dry skin, flakiness, or acne on your scalp under your hair? If so your loss could be due to seborrheic dermatitis or foliculitis. Or something else. Those are the 2 most common in order though. Treatment will vary person to person. Your scalp in pic looks p good though so you might just be destined to hop on fin/min. Rosemary oil helps too from what I've read.
My scalp does feel kinda dry but damn I've gotta stop coping anyway, I'm trying that rosemary shit but it's only been a week, if I get any results from that and "fixing' my diet (which isn't even bad to begin with) I'll post again in a few weeks. Thanks man.
Same anon as above and I've done entirely too much research on this.
If it's a legit nutrient deficiency you would find it fast with anything that checks the box that is the nutrient.
That means 'fix the diet' isn't fixing a lack of something (which is p easy), but it's fixing the symptom by eliminating whatever may be triggering it. If you're serious about such a thing then maybe the best starting point is an elimination diet. The most scientifically backed one of these is the whole-30 diet. Basically expect a lot of root vegetables and simple proteins for the next while.
For what it's worth I highly recommend this route. Even if it doesn't help your hairline, you might be like me and realize 'dang my mental state feels like I'm a kid again' simply because you eliminated some dietary things that weren't working for you.
Last thing, if it's just your scalp that feels kind of dry and you haven't had other skin issues on your chest / shoulders / etc then it might not be seb derm. Odds are probably that you'll just need the normal pattern baldness treatment of fin/min/Ketoconazole Shampoo/microneedling. If you're above pic related at your age you should be fine even if that is the only issue.
Word of advice on the fin: keep it as low as possible. DYOR. Plenty of guys out there using pill cutters / taking it every other day. There's also topical fin which I don't know much about. Most of my research was a few years ago and it's much newer. 80% of my problems were solved by dealing with my seb derm luckily. I'll still probably be at a greatly reduced hairline by my 60s though, but that much I don't care too much about.
I see, very interesting. I'll try that out then, thanks man. Also I do have acne but nothing too bad at least compared to many others I've seen here and out there but it's getting better with age so I've no idea how it could relate (if it does relate). Looking at that whole30 diet you recommended it doesn't look that different from my usual diet lol so it shouldn't be too hard to cut what isn't included in it.
hair thinning out at the front is classic MPB and fixing his diet won't do shit for DHT miniaturizing his hair follicles
Two years left, max.

open that scalp up anon. sooner you start the less you have to get back
is that you in the vid kek
stop shilling this moronic bullshit in every hairloss-related thread. it doesn't do shit, blood flow has nothing to do with male-pattern hairloss, only DHT-induced hair follicle miniaturization does. the arteries supplying blood to the scalp run under the skin above the muscles and the blood supply to the scalp is already excesive, e.g. cosmetic procedures involving removing certain arteries in the scalp don't even have any effect on hair, anyway.
I don't get how anyone can be moronic enough to believe this nonsense when transplanting DHT-resistant hair to "poor bloodflow areas" doesn't cause the to miniaturize and transplanting hairs from the balding areas to anywhere on the body still doesn't prevent them from miniaturizing.
>I don't get how anyone can be moronic enough to believe this nonsense
Basically, what balding does to a mf lol. Anything goes once the norwood reaper ravages their hairline and it's too late.
Jumped on dutasteride yesterday. 3 months on minoxidil stopped all hairloss.
What am I in for with dutasteride oral+ topical minoxidil ?
1mg of fin daily for 7 months and 1mg of dutasteride daily for like, 3 months, hasn't done anything to my hair. I have seborrheic dermatitis though so I might just be fricked
this is what a strong hairline looks like gents
take notes
not sure if being funny but you've got classic follicle miniaturization especially over the temples, but over the whole hairline. Might even be eventual diffuse thinning.
Bro you are balding just like me lmao
Anyway just accept it like a man and move on.
Frick spending money every month to keep your hair intact. Were not females that need to look pretty
?si=YsgdyYa4kzTnls5Q
You can buy a derma roller on Amazon and boom, no more balding
yeah, why spend money on clothes or body wash either!??
have fun Caillou
you look like shit
how tight is your scalp skin/muscles?
this has an anecdotal success rate of 75%, which is the best we have so far for any type of hair loss prevention

Not him but only my left temple is prone to hairloss. Since my skull is quite asymmetrical it all but confirms skull morphology / scalp tightness theory.
Im asymmetrical myself, the entire right side of my body is slightly smaller than the other side, the right side is also the side where Im balding faster
the muscles imbalances create tension around the skull and will eventually reduce the blood supply enough to start the balding process.
Give your scalp a sports massage to release the tension and get blood back into those follicles. this shit is slow but it works

>Gee whiz!! Im gonna take advice from the guy who literally doesn’t even have MPB and charges people for his bullshit advice!!
this. here's a step by step deboonk of this ridiculous nonsense
Can I get a TL;DW please?
basically what I wrote here
but several more points and goes through the studies
I’m on 1mg of fin. No side effects hair on top getting thicker and hairline slowly coming back. Side effects were aching balls within the first week. But at the same time my dick was really sensitive. Really easy to get a hard on. Slight sexual thought I had while at work it would go up. But after 2-3 weeks sex drive sort of dropped. Meaning I would jack off once every 2-3 days. But even then I never had weak erections if I wanted to get hard I would just rub my dick thus hinting my body it’s time to jack off and I would get a hard erection not a soft one. But after 3 weeks since I began my sex drive has increased. I can jack off twice a day if I want. Now after 1 month I don’t have erection or sex drive problems. I feel good and optimistic
DONT start fin, derma roller is all you need
>finasteride or something right?
Yes.
Just start your transition already, you'll be a cute trans girl!
finasteride does nothing to stop testosterone and isn't prescribed as one, its a hair loss and prostate drug. it only stops T from being converted to DHT and I wish fit would stop peddling this meme
you're talking to a literal troony, who's been spamming screenshots from troon sites he frequents
You can turn your hair into a subscription service, wear a hairpiece like a woman, or get a transplant that will eventually look ridiculous when the hairline recedes past it.
The only real options are to embrace the shitty balding hairstyles and repulse people, or shave your head down to 1mm until your hairline is so far gone that you need to shave down to complete baldness.
Hopefully you have a good head shape and face. If so, bald can be a perfectly fine and attractive look for a guy. You must stay in shape though.
If you have a lumpy dysgenic head shape, you are pretty much just fricked. Oh well, way she goes.
>If you have a lumpy dysgenic head shape, you are pretty much just fricked.
I've started balding and I have an actual deformed skull. Anybody here can give me some hope or should i rope?
t. 23 yo khhv
bullshit, hairloss prevention works 100% if you're fast enough
Microneedling and topical Minoxidil is all you need if you want to be proactive. You may still need fin at a later date. Also change your hairstyle if your hairline has shifted a little which it will do naturally. You'd be surprised what you can get away with even with a shit hairline, Go see an actual barber and ask him for advice as he'll know.
I stopped fin after being on it for 5 years. I found that the sides came on slowly and got worse over the course of months and years. At first you don't notice but it will catch up with you eventually. Now I'm off it I have rock hard morning wood every morning and frick my giflriend up to 5 times a day. On fin I would often get no morning wood at all and sometimes my girlfriend would stay over the night and I wouldn't even frick her. Or I would frick her once or twice after popping a cialis.
Almost every dude goes through some degree of hair loss. Look at every guy north of 40 years old. It's natural. I dunno why the immediate response of most guys online now is to hop on hormone drugs for the rest of their life.
Dude, just shave it brooooo
Why do you gays let the most minor of hairloss nuke your self esteem?
This board is mentally ill, it’s all about mogs, copes, jawlines, pills of various hues, chads, hunter eyes, freaking out about hairlines and getting depressed because you are few centimeters off a meme height limit… instead of being fit and healthy. At least the general threads are comfy and readable most of the time.
Lmaoooo
Why have you not just shaved that pitiful scrap of hair off. Just let it go dude.
I really wonder if any of you "just shave it off" fricks are gonna follow your own advice when Reaper comes for you (and he will, unless you're troon). Will YOU shave if off? Or you will perish like a dog?
why doesnt IST or IST have some definitive guide for this yet?
fricking kys moronic thread op is a fricking autist
Really tho. I don't have anything to back this up outside of "stress bad" but fixating on your hair so much is absolutely making your hair loss worse.
true. had the same fixation a long time ago. had some recession on my hairline back then. took the buzzpill. stopped giving a frick about hair. hairline got better now though lol
this one works
estrogen softens up the skin
his hair is still fricked, can you actually not tell these two pictures are taken at different angles?
Sorry to hear this boss. My brother in laws hair looked like that three years before he went bald. Now he shaves his head every day.
I'd value your hair while you still can tbh
Wtf are you talking about, your hair looks fine
I'm thinking about going to turkey to get a hair transplant I still have a hairline but it's fricking week in the front (few hairs per sqcm) VS lots of hair on the sides.
Do you anons know a good clinic?
You'll need multiple operations to maintain.
transplants fade unless you stay on pharmaceuticals and get touchups through out the rest of your life. get some blood to that head and start a routine

Been shedding on fin/min for literally 3+ months. Literally clumps of hair daily when I comb after a shower.
same, but I'm seeing some hairs sprouting up in the bald areas too
Just comb it, bro.
>been on fin and min for over a year
>still diffuse thinning all over
IT AIN'T ME IT AIN'T MEEEEEE
why are these threads always savage arguing and no consensus on anything, i dont want to go to reddit for advice
Hairloss is one topic where reddit is usually better than IST. They aren't great but at least they stay on topic and report progress after X amount of time on various treatments.
okay I'm 19
how bad is it?
Here, check out mine, it is receeding yet I still get complements that I look younger than my age, I have never cared about it until I came onto this site, I'm planning to keep caring for my look until like 35 maximum and then switch to strengthmaxxing to care for my family.
I used to lose my hairline because I used protein powder with creatine. It messed with my hormone levels. I stopped using it and eat 4 eggs per day now and my hairline stopped receding.
I'm at Northwood 2 so close call there.
