You take siblings as an example, but not twins, this is a little different.
It's an interesting observation, but I don't think I've seen a case of a bald twin and the other a NW1, just more like lagging a little behind. I think environmental factors do play a role, but ultimately don't decide your destiny.
Right, I thought the same until I saw this post. Maybe of course a person is lying, but I honestly do not see any need for this.
Interesting. Identical twins tend to practice the same lifestyle so usually you wouldn't see the full potential for environmental differences in them as they have by and large the same environment. You do see more hair loss in the twin that smokes, but not that significant. I think it's pretty uncommon for one twin to do all the things that promote early Androgenetic Alopecia whereas the other one does none of them. If that were the case then maybe you would see a more significant difference. Perhaps that's what is happening to that twin, or perhaps he took a medication that triggered his Androgenetic Alopecia. I would like to talk to him and try to pinpoint what it could be.
Thanks for sharing. Did you start treatment at the same time as him, and were you also NW1 until you quit treatment?
we did start on finasteride in 2013 or 2012 we were both exactly Norwood 0/0.5 perfect density but obsessed with our hair . regular dose of finasteride + min did't work so we found that using minoxidil in massie dosage ( 10+ ml) was what was really working for us . after 4 years due to facial sies i decided to drop min and switch to dutasteride but my hairline kept receding so i quit totally but as i started approching Norwood 3.5/4 this year and seeing how hideous i looked i'm trying to at least stop it by going back on dutasteride + massie dose of min to try to maintain until hmi. he is on dutasteride + minoxidil himself and it's working well for his hairline recession he just lost some density . btw we lie together in the same house and we hae the same exact lifestyle so it's not a factor here , he is michel sapin from the forum
I agree. It would be interesting to know how they are both doing today. Also, if you haven't read this post, here he is talking about his father and brother, who does not use any medication for baldness.
He does say he is 45 and has been losing hair for 1.5 years. He has very minor hair loss, especially for his age. Perhaps his brother is just a few years behind him.
That's right, he also says that his baldness started aggressively and suddenly. Apparently we will never know for sure what happened to his brother and can only guess, since he has not been here for quite some time.
Out of curiosity, did you do 10ml of min in 10 different applications during the day or just increase the amount applied morning and evening? I personally found benefits using min 3 times a day, so a total daily dose of 3ml, but stopped due to it being quite arduous to keep up and of course the benefits went when I stopped.
After you stop finasteride, you will lose all the hair it has retained and grown back at an accelerated rate. There are many such stories. As for those hairs that by this time have not been exposed to DHT, most likely they will remain and will fall out at the same rate as before.
I heard about it, my friend takes minoxidil 4 times a day and says that it works, maybe there is something to it. Now I imagined what would happen if I took it 4 times a day orally.
The only good thing ever to happen to those poor Uighurs lmao
Even if it wasn’t prohibitively expensive, there aren’t many people willing to hook up an IV of mystery juice from china every week. It’s a lot different than chucking a little bit of lab tested powder into your minoxidil.
Well the GBs are never that bad because it’s some lab ripping off the compounds… but yeah sounds way too complicated.
