Anyone use this to prevent hairloss? Does it actually work?
-
Yes it works. Most guys will need to resort to propecia though for front receding

That's about it. Or you could take proscar and split the pills in quarters. Saves you quite a bit of money.
-
It works so well that most bald men actually just shave their heads because they grew TOO much hair after trying this new secret tip to stop hairloss in men!

Anyone got any negative sides from taking propecia?
I'm going to be on it from next month onwards and I'm a bit concerned as I've heard some guys lose their sex drive while on it.
-
Tried it on my beard. I didnt last long as i didnt enjoy the headaches and water retention i got from it. However for the 6 weeks i used it it made some bald patch on my beard to grow hair.
I think it made my hair (on my head) fall too (its supposed to be normal at the begining)..

Didn't use for that reason. Enough guys yelling about it, some saying their mojo did not return even after stopping. Even if it's a small percentage, that's what I call an unacceptable side effect.
Just like with juice, I don't believe you can monkey with just one hormone and the rest of your system stays unaffected.

The only person I knew who took it said it made his refractory periods last 48+ hours. Like if he was going to see his girlfriend Saturday, he'd have to make sure he didn't masturbate after Wednesday. That was enough to put me off it
I'm sure that's an extreme example and being on juice probably helps but you just never know....I'd stick with hair transplants

No but PROTIP, RUB IT ON YOUR COCK!!!!
minoxidil is a med for malignant hypertension, high blood pressure that won't come down, same way it helps your scalp, provides blood flow, that's it.
It has been studied and found effective for mega boners, just rub on your dick.
The 2% mix was ineffective, 5-10% is needed

It smells pretty bad, no?

Propecia brought me to a very dark place. Too bad, it was working, but I'd rather have a working cock. Nothing has ever shot down my libido and took a while to pin point the problem. Was in a shitty ass mood like you wouldn't believe either.
It amazes me they can't find a solution to this issue without a med that fucks up your life.
I bet you guys feel better on DNP than I did no propecia.
-
My buddy at work tried this. He was one of the few that had the side effects of darkening under and around his eyes. 3 weeks in and he had a raccoon mask shadow going in the area. Stopped using it and it cleared up in a week.
-
I've had no problems with years of propecia. Kept my full head of hair and sex drive is fine.
-
Anyone got any negative sides from taking propecia?
No side effects at all.
-
A friend of mine(an actor) has been using both for over 10 years now and has all his hair well in to his mid 40's ...
only side effect he told me was lower sperm count and nipples were sensitive for about 15 days but then it went away ... No problem whatsoever with sex life though ,
Wooshhhhhhhhhh

wait, it's topical, it shouldnt be gaining systemic access at a significant degree, if you had mental effects, your blood pressure should have been low, that actually might of been the issue.
-
It works, but a small amount gets absorbed in the blood stream and can sometimes cause unwanted hair growth on other parts of the body and facial area. Some have even complained of it affecting their sex drive and erections but there is no evidence to back this up.
I used it for about a year on the front of my hairline, there was no actual regrowth but I think it did stabilize it and thicken the hair that was there.
Three months off now and no noticeable difference so we'll see.
The reason I stopped was that it is a chemical that is getting absorbed through my skin, and overall I feel better without it.

talking about the tab to keep your hair (finasteride) never used the shampoo minoxil.
I also used Need to build muscle hair saving shampoo which did fuck all.
-
I used it on my face for 6 months to enhance my beard and my beard now is twice as thick as it used to be and the changes are permanent so yea it makes hair grow! I never got any negative side effects apart from an increase in body hair too. If a drop touches a cat the cat will probably die, if your on blood pressure medication I think you have to be careful since it can slightly lower your blood pressure but other than that it's pretty safe.
Not had to use it on my head since I'm not going bald (yet) but it's probably just gonna sustain your hair for a few more years if you use it but not totally save it, the only way to save your hair is finasteride which has other side effects which ain't worth it in my opinion...
-
generic propecia and Nizoral shampoo twice a week saved my hair when it started noticeably thinning.
-
Ir might work but if you're a white muscle bear , you're better off shaving it all off and save them money for steak beers and cigars.

for real?
-
I'm between a 2 and 3 on the norwood scale (See below)
I jumped on generic finasteride 1mg per day about 3 months ago and have already seen some thickening around the temple region.
Take a look at your father/grandfather as a decent indicator of how your hair loss will progress.
I'm 27 and my only wish is that I'd thought about getting on it sooner. I'd kind of ignored it up until this point. I noticed an initial mild drop in sex drive although that seems to have stabalized. I don't mind putting up with mild side effects because I look like GARBAGE with a shaved head. Some people just don't have the skull shape/aesthetics for it to work.

You need to look at your mothers father. Not your dad or his father

Yes, that would do it, lol.
Curcumin is really good for boners also.
-

Works. Doesn't grow new/replacement hair. Just stops you from losing the hair you currently have left.
I used it for about a year and then got a rash on my head. >:(
I started losing my hair at 21. I just shave it now. I'm fortunate to have a nice head.
The fucked up thing is no one in both sides of my family are bald. Both grandfathers died with a full set of hair.
-
I know someone who started growing hair on their forehead and under their eyes but it eventually went away when they stopped.

Yes. I should keep al my hair. Tho' I've noticed some thinning over the last year, but not in one place, like on all head. I think I've overused one hair styling product (my hair are very un-controllable if longer). I'll have to look what are the most effective supps/shampoos for good hair health.

it can skip generations

Still no worries in my case, father, grandpas, and grandgrand pas all had full heads of hair at any age. Best way to check is do a tren test :D Good dose of tren for three months, if no changes, one can be pretty worry free.

yeah same here. I'm the only baldie in generations.

i guess at 30 I'd already have some bald spots lol, esp after quite some test. The thing is - hair became thinner on whole head, like less shiny and I have a feeling I've overdone with the styling product I've used a lot for the last few years (wanna be sexy to dem chiks), have to find some good stuff to regenerate them.

The only why product is going to effect hair growth, is if you have a fungus. Buy some tree tea shampoo

Not entirely true, weird how genetics work sometimes

That statement holds a lot of truth in regards to most the people on this board. Not in a good way...

Not true. The belief that it only helps restore hair on the top of the head and doesn't work on the front is also a myth.

And went did I say top of head only?
-
Another thing to consider is that many people using it having complained about accelerated aging in their face and thicker pores since it apparently can reduce collagen production.
-

This absolutely happens.
It reduces collagen around the face.
It makes one 'ugly' within days.
Absolute poison. Avoid.

Didnt see this post but poster is spot on.
I have experienced the disgusting effect within days.

Haha what the fuck, I used it directly onto my face for 6 months and have 0 of the side effects you just mentioned, It just gave me a thicker beard.

Poison? Or Secret of immortality?

Gived me a dry, sore scalp when I use minoxidil for extended periods of time. But I do believe it has some desirable effects on my hair, so I kind of cycle the stuff :)
-
A hair thinning friend of mine used this stuff everyday for years. He did not grow hair, but stopped losing it. His hair and scalp dried out a lot. As soon as he stopped using it, his hair fell out within a month.

Anyone ever think to stop using steroids. Sure you will lose your temporary drug muscles but it will stop hair loss for many. Rather be in real athlete shape than look like a balding bodybuilder.

real athlete shape coming soon
-
Kirkland brand from Amazon (best value). Yes it does work, but must use everyday. Also works in front area where there is receding.

But then we would not have these important first world problems to solve anymore?

Tried the generic rogaine from wally world since it had good reviews. NEVER AGAIN..I could hear my heart beating in my ears. And it was very hard to catch my breath on occasion. I looked up the half life since i was doing the standard 2 drops per day and cut the dosage back to see if that made things better. It didn't.. I thought about propecia but wanted a natural alternative and looked into saw palmetto and biotin and zinc. My hair filled back in on the crown and temples on these. Just my 2 pennies.

Will make your hair healthier and help recover hair lost from medication or stress, but won't really help with hereditary male pattern baldness.
Though, I've heard some people have had success with Saw Palmetto since it apparently reduces DHT or the conversion to DHT.
