>caused by androgens attaching to androgen receptors in the scalp hair follicles >androgens attaching to androgen receptors
aren't they supposed to do that by default? wtf does that have to do with hair follicles?
Hair follicles have androgen receptors. Attaching to receptors is how hormones exert their effects in different tissues of the body.
I literally just explained it to you. There are androgen receptors in the papilla of the hair follicles on the scalp. Dht binds to these receptors and exerts its effects. The effects of androgens (and hormones in general) is tissue selective. In the scalp androgens reduce the length of the anagen stage of hair growth which causes balding over time.

What's your alterate theory for why higher scalp dht levels directly correlate with greater hair loss in test subjects, why reducing dht with 5ar inhibitors halts hair loss and how researchers were literally able to observe how dht negatively effected hair growth in vitro using human cells via the beta-catenin pathway?

Bad genes. That's why you never hear women say how they love bald/balding men.

You can try chemically castrating yourself with drugs only to delay the inevitable or go to Turkey, pay lotsa money to delay the inevitable.
Why do you keep making the same hairloss threads on IST over and over again?
We perfectly know what causes it (DHT, not testosterone) and how to treat it (5ar inhibitors such as finasteride or dutasteride, topical anti-androgens such as RU58841 or pyralutamide and growth stimulants such as minoxidil and stemoxydine). There will be no other treatment since all the ones in the research pipeline are either extremely expensive and only produce mild effects (verteporfin and the HMI-115) or have failed altogether.
If you are reading this and are balding, you have two options. Either start treatment now or shave it/get a system. There is no magic scalp massage bullshit that works. If you fell for tiktok scams you are moronic and deserve to go bald.
You can have low-moderate DHT but high sensitivity to it or high DHT but low-moderate sensitivity to it. In either case you will lose hair. As a general rule of bro-science, the earlier you got a beard and body hair the higher your DHT.
Creatine doesn't cause hairloss because there is no mechanism by which creatine could increase 5ar activity. The only study showing some effect on hormone levels was flawed due to the treatment group having lower serum DHT levels than the placebo group to begin with.
do you know how much money the industry makes on creatine sales?
whey powder and creatine are trillion dollar markets. any study that throws shade on those products are promptly buried and squashed
and fyi. anything legal is not worth using. all creatine does is make you hold more water aka makes you look bloated and fat, but i guess nattards need something to cope with in their pathetic lifting existence. muh creatine gainzzzzzz
Before any of you gays start slathering your Norwood 0.5 scalps in sneed science oils, google the (long) list of shampoo ingredients that cause hair loss, then switch to bar soap for awhile.

I wish. Finasteride has brought me back to a NW2 but without it my entire scalp was thinning and receding, even the back and sides. Shampoo is a meme.
I'm not going to unequivocally attribute it to finasteride, but it's the only change I noticed after getting on it. Could just be a psychological thing though.
Noob, I've been on fin for nearly 18 months with zero issues whatsoever. Still regularly shedding though and my hairline is regrowing only very, very slowly, one hair at a time.
I know I can't be assed to use minox on my hairline every day hence I'm still waiting for the 36-40 month mark at which results should've peaked. Once I have the money I will probably use either RU or pyr for half a year and hope finasteride can maintain gains made this way.
I've considered oral minoxidil aswell but I'm too scared of fluid buildup around my heart. Supposedly low dose oral minoxidil doesn't have that side effect (which only occurs at 10-80mg daily in 5% of people) but since my hair is not that bad, it's not worth it for me.

On the skin aging, minoxidil has been shown to inhibit collagen production. I'm not just on placebo on it. The beardbros who use it on their face have reported this as well when trying to beef up their facial hair. Having it coursing in your system daily stands to reason it will inhibit collagen production.
However, topical minoxidil did nothing for me. It's this or nothing.

Testosterone metabolizes via the 5ar2 enzyme into Dihydro-Testosterone which men's scalp follicles have a spectrum of negative sensitivity to based on genetics.
It's as simple as that. DHT damage to the follicle is the root cause. To stop hairloss you need to stop DHT damaging your follicles. There are a number of approaches to this.
1. Ingest a 5ar2 inhibitor to saturate your body in it and lower your system DHt thus lowering scalp DHT.
2. Apply a 5ar2 inhibitor to your scalp directly to lower DHT locally, while accepting that some will also go into your system.
3. Use varios other topical anti-androgens like Pyrilutimide and RU88541 which are currently experimental.
4. Use """""""""""""""natural methods"""""""""""" like Saw Palmetto, Peppermint Oil, Castor Oil, and others which haven't been shown effective.
>But what about minoxidil?
Minoxidil is a growth stimulant but does not prevent the destruction of your follicles.
>But what about a transplant?
The non-transplant hairs will continue to die off leaving you with a moron looking hairline of transplant material only up there. If you get a transplant you have to take one of the above treatments to maintain the rest.
That sums it up pretty well. Note on pyrilutamide, you should use at least the 1-1.5% solution because the 0.5% solution failed to improve hair beyond placebo. Kintor shot themselves in the knee by using such a low dose in the phase 3 trials.
Imagine being a man and caring so much about your appearance.
You’re either a sexless queer in your 20’s or a hopeless moron in your 40’s trying to cling onto your youth.
I'm a hopeful moron in my 30's who just in the last couple years seems to have come into an age where hot college girls with issues want me to frick them with my belt around their necks while they call me daddy and I know that will go away if I lose my hair to a certain point. I already have the "mature hairline" that I have to style a certain way to look good and it's teetering on the brink of doom. I take my finasteride and some minox and preserve for as long as I can.

>balding is genetic, not a symptom of excess DHT
DHT is directly resposble for balding. If you lower DHT, you stop balding in over 90% of cases and regrow hair in over 2/3 of cases. There is a clear mechanism for how DHT does this too.
>theres no 1:1 relationship and causation between DHT and balding
There literally is.
We know from clinical RCTs that lowering DHT via 5aris stops and reverses balding. From in-vitro studies, we even know how DHT destroys human hair follicles. >balding is 99% genetic
And how do you think GENETICS cause balding? Either you have too many androgen receptors at your hair follicles or you have too much DHT. In either case lowering DHT helps.
however theres a cap on how far your balding can go and that is determined by genetics
take a guy who isnt genetically prone to balding and soak his hair in literal methylated dht. He still wont go bald
Now take a guy who is prone to balding and you will have to neuter him completely just to halt the shedding a bit
Therefore we can conclude that genetics > hormones plays a much bigger role in regards to balding

>however theres a cap on how far your balding can go and that is determined by genetics
Given enough exposure to DHT, every single hair follicle on your scalp can and will eventually die if you are even a little bit susceptible to it. >take a guy who isnt genetically prone to balding and soak his hair in literal methylated dht. He still wont go bald
It depends. DHT derived steroids can cause balding in people who would otherwise not be balding naturally. >Now take a guy who is prone to balding and you will have to neuter him completely just to halt the shedding a bit
Actually no. We have multiple 10 year studies in Italy, Japan and South Korea showing that both finasteride and dutasteride will maintain and regrow hair in over 90% of cases. Once DHT is low enough, you will not bald any more. >Therefore we can conclude that genetics > hormones plays a much bigger role in regards to balding
As I explained, part of GENETICS is high DHT/5ar activity which can be safely and effectively suppressed via 5aris.

Given enough exposure to DHT, every single hair follicle on your scalp can and will eventually die if you are even a little bit susceptible to it.
>take a guy who isnt genetically prone to balding and soak his hair in literal methylated dht. He still wont go bald
It depends. DHT derived steroids can cause balding in people who would otherwise not be balding naturally.
>Now take a guy who is prone to balding and you will have to neuter him completely just to halt the shedding a bit
Actually no. We have multiple 10 year studies in Italy, Japan and South Korea showing that both finasteride and dutasteride will maintain and regrow hair in over 90% of cases. Once DHT is low enough, you will not bald any more.

As I explained, part of GENETICS is high DHT/5ar activity which can be safely and effectively suppressed via 5aris.
do you know what methylated DHT orals are? i assure you if everyone had the same proclivity for going bald, then I would be bald by now. Yet I am not
Genetic anomalies will always exist. Reagan had a perfect hairline at the age of 80 while some poor 16yo somewhere is already a NW5.
Side effects of DHT?
How old are you? I used to be like this until I hit my late 30's. There seems to be some age component to dht influenced hair loss. I shed slowly on my trt dose now, when before I could blast grams and use mast with no effects
>settled science
tf u mean
How can it be settled when we don't know how to cure or prevent it, let alone without side effects
