I am so confused right now I do not know who to trust so I will explain myself
There is the side that says “I should go on finasteride,minxodil and dermaroller”. I did minoxidil 5% and dermaroller 1.5 mm.
I do not want to mess up my hormones though, I just need my hair while I’m young at least. It is so unnatural for a 18 year old to be bald or semibald.
To the side saying “I should not even use minoxidil”...what should I use then? Should I just accept my fate being bald at the age of 19/20? I do not want that. I will take my chances to save my hair at least for a while.
I am not the kind that jerks off all day and sits in his room without any social contacts.
I go to the gym, I want a good body to compensate for the baldness later.
I meditate, I take care of myself and I am a very friendly, confident and positive person.
Point is, I try to make the best of life as I can.
Kid i totally understand you, i am diffuser just like you. and balding is smt that i have been dealing with for 10 years now. So i am going to tell you my own experience. According to me there is nothing uglier than being bald in this world, thats my thought. I wish i could do large hormonal blood tests before beginning any type of treatment. So my very first suggestion is that you getting a good hormonal tests to find out what your T,TT , DHT, Estradiol, LH,FSh, TSH, T3,T4, Progesterone, levels are(the list can be extended providing its affordable.
I started developing the idea that i should do whatever it takes to save my hair as male pattern baldness progressed throughout years. i can say that i been NOFAP followerfor good 10 years,stopped smoking, stopped drinking. this is me in 2016
in 2016 i started PRopecia&Rogaine treatment , and couple of months later, i had amazing regrowth amazing(hair quality 10/10)!! it was my best days ever. it was all what i ever wanted!! i was under the impression that i could beat anyone in any competition but sadly very same treatment gave me horrific side effects , very first one being hairloss, yes its true the same treatment made me lose all my gains that followed sexual deterioration , gyno (got it removed surgically) and all these nasty side effects you can imagine.
I dropped the propecia and one month later my hairs started growing again( yes without propecia (hair quality 10/10)) but it also lasted just 45 days or smt and from that time my hair got only worsened. and i walked around for more than a year NW6 (For the record i never stopped using rogaine) till couple of months ago when i started doing trt dose 100 mg per week after i found out my T levels was 354 or smt which was at the low end. Guess what happened my hairs started growing again!! much strogner and thicker((hair quality 6/10). i did PCT and my hair got raped again(thanks to tamoxifen and clomid). Now i draw the conclusion that low T is f*****g solid reason to lose hair! look at this pic i have everything in my arsenal to find out what is the thing made me regain all my hair back and then lose everything.
Anyway kid do hormonal blood tests get your T level, find out where your thyroid stands. i am also believing it might have an impact on people like us
