I say yay, not good for the scalp though.
I would be more worried about my prostate than my hair with constant use of masteron.

True from a health point.

Saw palmetto is supposed to lower your test.

It doesn't matter if Saw Palmetto lowers test in a drug user obviously.

There is the finasteride which I haven't dared to take. One fella on another forum says do just .25mg mon/wed/fri, that way you can avoid most sides. Usual dose I think is 1mg daily. The discussion was about hair but said it can help prostate too over time. He also said ORAL minoxidil is much more effective than topical. I think I will try this for my beard. I wish I had started some treatment when I started thinning.

bhank may be willing to try the oral minox? It will most likely not restore the hair but would be interesting to see if there was some regrowth.

I see there's now also minoxidil mixed with topical finasteride.

Yes there are a number of other compounds too. They are a bit of a gray area legally. I saw someone sell different mixtures here but they had to shut down.

RU58841
Azelaic acid
GHK-Cu
Ketoconazole

etc

I'm kind of hesitant to taking it aswell. Thers' those who say it is a "trash hormone" in adult males. Like Hair Cafe on youtube. But idk if you google finasteride side effects there are so many reports of ED issues. That leads me to believe that DHT has some role in sexual function in adult males. But idk, conflicting reports.. alot of people have no sides from finaseride according to them.

Another thing to note, the medecine people take to reduce sebum production in the skin, isotretinoin/accutane, also has effect on the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme(enzyme that finasteride also reduces). That medecine also has alot of people reporting ED.

So the common denominator here is recuction in DHT and then reports of erectile dysfunction.

My thought/conclusion would then be what's the point of attraction more females with better hair and/or skin when you have less interest in sex and erections are weak  :D

DHT definitely is very important in terms of sexual function. What scared me are the reports that it can be permanent, persist after you stop. That would suck. For various reasons DHT doesn't build muscle which is why no steroid labs produce it, there is a DHT cream for gynecomastia though. I speculate that DHT might be fantastic for mood boosting, but it's not available really...

I'm thinking it's likely because these medecications may "kill off" the 5α-reductase enzyme permanently.

If I read that correct the steroidal effects on the 5α-reductase enzyme are permanent.

Inhibition of the enzyme can be classified into two categories: steroidal, which are irreversible, and nonsteroidal.

and like you mentioned, DHT does seem to have many desired effects in adult males when it comes to mood
Quote
Gynecomastia, erectile dysfunction, impaired cognitive function, fatigue, hypoglycemia, impaired liver function, constipation, and depression, are only a few of the possible side-effects of 5α-reductase inhibition. Long term side effects, that continued even after discontinuation of the drug have been reported.[20]
