hi all.

20 year old male recently been losing some hair in my right temple area. i want to beat this sh*t early since my hair is my only redeeming quality... lol

here’s my current situation:

baseline photos, disgusting fat pos.. two years ago

photo a month ago.


less fat but hair loss...

should i be doing half of 1mg finasteride to start? i already have a moderate sex drive so a little concerned about turning into a vegetable. i’m looking to just maintain what i have for as long as possible.


any advice?

I'd build up as much as possible you're likely going to take them for years. I currently take .5 dutasteride a day but I also take it in two doses morning and night at .25 and built up slowly over a few months. I had minimal sides which didn't last long zero gynecomastia. Finastride having shorter half Life I'd recommend taking smallest dose possible once a day for a few weeks then taking same dose twice a day till your 1mg dose is achieved. Then you can take your full 1mg once a day if desired. I believe all long term medication should be approached in this manner. The exception being maybe antibiotics, and anabolic steroids for gains. One can develop issues quickly switching certain diets ex, a high carb low fat diet to a keto/carnivores diet. Shock and stress are not good for any aspect of health one should attempt to mitigate it as much as possible.

Thanks for the advice.

Did you shed a lot when you started? How is your hair now?

My hair was so short it was hard to notice unless I brushed it over a flat service, but yeah it's been steady. Even with shedding my hair looks thicker and darker. Putting my hand over my hair it feels so much stronger. I wish I wouldn't of waited to treat for hairloss, but received bad advice from doctor telling me only option was surgery. But one should stabilize hair loss before any surgery. I haven't gotten surgery and looks like I won't need it but it's still early.

How bad was it when you started? Do you have any photos you wouldn’t mind sharing?

I'm thinking about making a post soon I'll have to get some pics off my old phone. But your hair is in way better shape. Didn't really care to much to photograph my recovery.
