Finasteride Side Effects, & Hair

Can someone tell me if the hormonal side effects of finasteride (which hypogonadism pretty much sums up) correlate with the amount of hair on your head as well? I'd hate to have breasts, a less-than-normal functioning genitalia yet be losing my hair after stopping taking the drug, so the way I saw it was, if my muscles improved naturally (due to DHT of course), and my libido was back, as well as a fully functioning penis and so forth, this is when my hair would start falling again.

On the other hand, if I quit the drug, and my hormones remain the same at least as far as DHT is concerned, then due to this, the hair should logically go nowehere right? Merck claims that if treatment is stopped, hair loss would resume, but at the same time claimed stopping the treatment would reverse the side effects (if only this was true in many, left out cases). This would of course make sense.

However in the situations where side effects do not leave, then the head hair will be doing good? I really hope so, because I really feel bad for Nick (the impotent propecia user on the youtue vid) mostly, but not only because he's impotent (I pray to God he's better and/or improving now) but looking at him in that old video he's also pretty much bald as well. I'm wondering if this was years after he stopped the drug, and his hairs have fallen by the time he was in the video, while still impotent? I doubt this is the case though, because like I said, impotence and hypogonadism is a result of DHT deficiency, and with that being deficient, what will be attacking your hair follicles now? I assume his hair just didn't get any worse after he stopped the drug.

I think this is the case, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

See, I find it odd, and I was going to make another thread though I'll just include it here, that an estimated TWO% (wtf?!?!?) of men (white men...I guess) would experience ANY sexual side effects, yet, regardless of who you are, finasteride at 1 mg is still a DHT inhibitor, which, regardless of the situation should lower your DHT by high percentages so why is it that TWO% (pffft..) of men experience sides while the rest do not? It doesn't make sense. Is the DHT just massively reduced more in some men, and notso to the majority? Again, two percent my ***, Merck.
