That haircut in that interview is possibly the one best suited for you, Matt. You ought to have it like that rather than bushy/overgrown like you've had in recent years.
I think you're right about this. It requires frequent haircuts, but that's OK. I agree with you that it's more suitable for me.
I use two things. Finasteride 1mg per day and Minoxidil 5% spray 2x per day - after the morning shower and after the evening shower. Some people use up to 5mg Finasteride per day, but 1mg is the standard. Someone on Getbig even told me that you can skip a day here or there with Finasteride.
I was a video on Matthew McConaughey's transformation, and Finasteride. I am grateful for my have, and I'd like to preserve it.
At some point, we all need to accept these normal aging things. I've been lucky on a few of them...but for how much longer?
Edit: Sorry, I forgot the most important thing I needed to say. It looks to me like you've got brilliant, populated follicles. Even leading to the front. Mine have started to thin out there, whereas yours are great. I have a feeling that you'll be a silver fox. Plenty of pensioners with great hair that just turns white. My grandfather on my mother's side had a great head of hair. My grandfather on my father's side didn't. My brother is already going very bald at 45. I've got much better hair than him, but I've noticed mine regressing, too. Not so much at the front - but from the crowns going forward - like a monk thing it'll end up eventually unless I can stop it.
Yours seems very well preseved. If anything is going to regress with yours - it'll be the front edges going backwards but not by much.
^ EXACTLY my hair genetics.

My mom's dad had hair until he died at 81, but my dad's dad was bald. Is it from the mother's father?
If so, I can stop worrying.

But I would like to either run some gear [low-dose], or go on TRT. But I want to keep my hair...
Any choices we make - are all trade-offs, right? If I could be 220 but not eat nonstop, and still run fast...I'd do it. But...it's a trade-off.
I do like having a full head of hair...
I'm happy I got this cut. I've realized: I have a lot to be grateful for. Part of why I won't take risks anymore is because I don't want to face loss. So I take NO risks, and that's NOT a solution. But then a friend tells me he lost $950,000 in a divorce, and I go back in my shell.

I get a lot of shit here, but I'm in a good place, with minimal expenses, and can just chill out, train, spend time with the kids

, and post here. I'm afraid I may get into a bad relationship and lose everything.
You mentioned this:
I had a great head of hair until 2018 - I went on a crazy rampage after a relationship breakdown. 3-4 months of crazy parties, not sleeping properly, not training, not eating for days.
FUCKING MY STORY EXACTLY. Sheesh.
It ruined my life. I would have recovered by 2020, but then the pandemic gym closures prevented that.

By 2022, my life got kickstarted - could be my Anadrol cycle, or time healing...maybe both.
Dalnet - that's why I just don't want relationships. The strongest men have been taken down by one.
I'm happy to hear you got through it in a period of a few month, rather than a few years like me.

Being so conservative / not taking risks is safe, but it is not a long-term solution.
Life is a risk. Even cutting my hair like that - now I got a full assessment by you, and tips on how to keep it! So risks can produce good outcomes.

I hope you are right that I can be a silver fox.

Great post, Dalnet. I learned a lot.
