my hairline returned back by forcing it to grow through dieting, needling and topicals. If I had done nothing then it would have just stayed the exact same.


I damaged my hair and had a bald spot at the back of my head too which is clearly some for of male pattern baldness. It was a combination of malnutrition, pre-triggered hairloss and depression


The camel diet works for Everyone
I agree at this point. Hair loss has many causes, which lead to a cascade event. Mine is driven by androgens, stress and chronic problems with digestion.

Alright: I havent started taking it yet, but...

Bicalutamide IS in my eyes a HEAVY stronger version than finasteride, when you just think about the medical usage and indication of it.

So it just MAKES SENSE to use it in severe and aggressive hair loss (like mine), to just STOP the loss. I still try to figure out how to do the regrowth, as I want to avoid topicals (my scalp is not very ok with substances on it, and hair as well).

You switch up pretty fast based on the opinions of others. If I had told you I used minoxidil I'm sure you would not be talking like this.
Whose opinion would that be? European diet might play a role in some hair loss, but don't you think most people here figured that sh*t out before jumping into hrt?
Edit: How ever impressive is your hair recovery, it has no significance for people with just androgenic alopecia.

I wouldn't want to waste my time to fight off my nature, genes.... with snake oils lol... and in the end... nature.

You just can't fight off nature WITH nature xD.

If you are destined, like me, to go bald, there's nothing you can do against it, besides taking medical action.

Its NATURE vs. CHEMISTRY

May?

If I didn't use minoxidil but fixed my hairline out what could it be? I'm not on any regime right now but yet still maintaining. Hmmm mystery indeed.

Minoxidil/finasteride and other stuff that you're running is the ONLY thing that works clearly.


Like I said before, if I told you i used minoxidil you wouldn't be doubting and the excuse that apparently I didn't have male pattern baldness when I had a bald spot at the back of my head.

Do whatever you like mate. No one is selling you anything at all. Someone earlier on quoted to see pictures so I showed.


It just gets annoying when you're discredited for not using any hardcore stuff like finasteride or minoxidil.

Very true! I appreciate the point you made here! Everyone should consider and re-view their diet, lifestyle. It plays a big role. You are what you eat, but sometimes, you have to combat androgens to sufficiently act against ANDROGENetic Alopecia.

You are not being discredited for your regimen, im just saying that no amount of "nutritions" will help with AA. And further more if you maintaining without a regimen that just confirms that you didnt had AA

If you are eating a diet that significantly decreases endogenous sex hormones, or perhaps is high in equol (and you have the genes to be an equol producer) then a diet can impact AA. The chances of this working are low because most people do not have minor hair loss that will stabilize on its own. Nonetheless it is still possible.

Diet can certainly impact inflammatory markers as well. It's just a matter of how sensitive you are to all these things.

AA is progressive, I have to agree here.

If I understand correctly, Bridgeburn took 0.75mg of Estradiol (1 press of Estrogel), and then switched to 1.5mg. Perhaps just 0.75mg is enough to lower T
But I still don't know if it's better than 75mg of Bicalutamide, which should block all receptors. Or maybe both?

I don't think it makes sense to apply it to the scalp. This is uncomfortable, the gel will remain on the hair, etc. More comfortable wrist
Nah. It blends right in and if anything, it is cleansing to the hair. If you want to do exactly what @bridgeburn did and I do, I would at least put it on the hairline since this is just skin so it by definition won't hurt your hair style. You want you hair back but you seem to be kicking and screaming before you will do what works, which is fine but maybe the HRT route isn't for you. I tell lots of young guys that this isn't probably the right path for them. HRT is the right path if you are essentially willing to do anything that doesn't harm general health to get your hair back.
