the topical finasteride leaves my hair kinda sticky/oily and i think it is going systemic still, makes sense given how well the minoxidil absorbs and activates on my scalp? gonna first try 0.5mg equivalent topical at night daily, and minoxidil 2x daily as usual. back to oral and keep 3mg weekly if no improvement in sides.

Topical finasteride goes systemic, like 10% at least. So if you’re putting 2 mgs on your head, 0.2 mgs of it goes in your system as well. It’s know that 0.2 mg of finasteride suppress 60+% of dht in your body. To avoid sides I’ m putting on my scalp only 0.5 mg of finasteride

Do you do that once daily? Any studies to back up the 10 percent fact

Yes 0.5 mgs or below that daily. 2 ml at 0.025% daily. But my diffuse thinning is not aggressive like your. We are the same age by the way. If I don’t get gyno from finasteride, I will be using much more of it daily. In the Italian forum they said steroids like finasteride and dutasteride goes systemic pretty easily, they estimates 10-20% depending on the vehicle. With liposomial gel the quote that goes systemic is 1/18.

Honestly if I was 6'3 I wouldn't give two shits about being bald because being tall is the ultimate redeeming quality.

Sure it helps man but I think it’s human nature to focus on your imperfections so I’m gonna try to maintain my hair

Honestly. At your height you could probably work your *** off at the gym and pull off the dominant look. Short people like me at 5'9 can't really do that.
How tall do you think Jason Statham is? I'll give you a hint, you're taller then him.

Most sources say he's 5'10, although I've also seen people say he's 5'9 or '8 so idk.

For sure I’ve been lucky!
also, would you guys want to see a collation of the results through time?? I’ve taken a bunch more pics on my phone, tbh I’ve taken pics most days so you could click through the pics and actually see how it progressed day by day almost?
