Baldness isn't a disease or sickness. Thus, no need for a "cure."

Its merely the result of inbreeding within the family.

You can't stop it.

What about the studies that shows that finasteride, when combined with synthetic testosterone, causes the production of steroid Type II 5α-reductase, rather than inhibiting it?   Sounds like the finasteride could actually be accelerating the problem.

I sincerely hope so for those who are suffering from it. Never forget when I went on a date with a cute 22 year old honey and she got a text message from a friend half way thru the night asking firstly how it was going, then asked her 'how is his hair?' (she showed me the message). Women, especially younger ones really give a shit about a good head of hair.

There is no cure and there will never be. Well, maybe when you are 80 years old with 7 inches arms there will be some progress in that direction. Currently, however, nothing could be done.

Look at Prince Harry with all his power and resources - yet still bald.

Same with Lebron.

They would be on the cutting edge of treatments - yet still bald.

So for us regular folks that means a guaranteed 10 years of little to no progress.

Unless you can manipulate the expression of genes, the thought of eradicating baldness will be difficult to execute.

There is no cure for being tall, short, having a particular eye color or having a certain skin color. These are all dictated by way of your genetics and while you can do much to camouflage their expression, it is what it is.

These drugs, that suppress conversion of Testosterone to its byproduct of DHT, can only keep your existing hairs on life support. The reality of it is that none of these drugs offer complete suppression of DHT, so even if minute amounts are getting to the hair follicle, sooner or later that hair follicle will succumb to the effects of DHT. In other words, the inevitable cannot be prevented.

You gentlemen are just cruising on borrowed time and crushing your libido in the process.

My advice, shave it off and move on with your life. Soul Crusher is a great example of a young man that sports his shaved head with pride.

"1"

P.S. I did read a while back that they were trying experiments with stem cells for the goal of eradicating hair loss. Whether or not that went anywhere is beyond me.

Excellent troll job, but there's no difference between synthetic testosterone and the stuff produced by one's body.  Same chemical structure

Any man that worries about his hair is a pussy. I am fortunate I guess in my asthetics but I know for a fact that even if I were not good looking and probably even if I was not built the way I am - that I would still always attract women. There is not a beautiful woman in the world that intimidates me - I would be silly to think I could have them all but talking to and making friends is easy enough.

Many gys are just so pathetic - women hear a man sound jealous and throw up in their mouths. A man gossiping like a bitch screams douche alert to a woman.

To hell with hair - I could cut a fucking ear off and have game - lol

Spending untold thousands on pills and creams for the rest of your life is a waste of time and money. If you stop, any gains are lost, and nature wins.

If you wear a hairpiece, everyone can tell. EVERYONE. You are the same as females who wear girdles to strap in their fat rolls and stuff their bras. In denial, uncomfortable with yourself, and announcing it to the world.

Transplants are expensive, and if they turn out good, great. But if they turn out bad, you are SOL. Just as obvious as hairpieces. Look at Stan Lee.

If a woman dismisses you because you are bald, she isn't worth your time anyway. Being comfortable and confident about yourself will attract worthy females. Fake hair, obvious cover-ups, and trying to be something you are not has no long-term sustainability. You will eventually be exposed.

Yes, our culture is obsessed with appearance and superficiality. But in the future we will all be hairless anyway. Evolution is heading in that direction, so baldies are just ahead of the curve.

Even if they do cure baldness, the underlying insecurity and enslavement to the meaningless opinions of others will remain. A strong man "owns" who he is, everyone else be damned.

I'm sure there will be eventually, with modern science.  There's too much of a $$$demand$$$ for a corrective measure, and not so much for these bullshit snake oil inhibitors that don't work.  I know tons of guys going bald/balding, and know of very few that use the current products b/c they're all shit.  Throw a hair growth drug on the market and it's game over.  It'd be bigger than viagra by a landslide.

Ha, ha, now I've heard everything. Someone advised me to make a mixture of something (can't remember what) and cayenne pepper and rub it into my scalp to regrow my hair. I may have actually tried it, I don't remember. But this I am sure of, it didn't work.

I have read an article with pics some years ago that in Japan they were experimenting with cetoconazol used topicaly to cause the regrowth of hair in already bald men. They had very promising results within 6 to 10 months.
Cetoconazol was used in very high concentrations, not only like in the nizoral shampoo concentrations. They didn't had any long term possible consequences of such high dose use at that time.

going bald

i take finasteride

but it just slows the process at best


steroids probably not helping


use nizoral 2% a couple of times a week, definately helps. Reduces DHT in the scalp without the nasty side effects of rogaine. Just dont use too often.

Make sure to take omega3/6/9 formula such as Udo's oil

saw palmetto

drink some nettle tea

get nettle shampoo

get a shampoo without too much crap in it.

use conditioner after every wash add some omega3 to the mix.
