Started Taking Dutasteride Today, Here's My Log (with Pics)

[joshcrd]

Can u please post it exact regimen and frequencies? Ur hair looks great

Thank you mate No problem.

Dutasteride 500mcg daily for first month then 3 times per week from there.
Ketoconazole shampoo 3 times per week left in for 3 to 5 minutes
Minoxidil 5% 1ml hairline, 1ml crown, morning and night (I know this is double the dose)

Simple things that have some evidence behind them seem to help me.

Before January I was just doing the second two, no dutasteride or finasteride. I think the dutasteride and finasteride work in synergy somebody mentioned earlier.

Okay guys here's my hairline and crown after the 3rd smp session. Might be one more to go.

Here are some progress pics one week after 4th smp session.

Have been off minoxidil for a month, not sure if that had an affect but will start again using alcohol free aquagaine in 3 days. Might even try dermarolling.

don't drop minoxidil bro this is too risky .
Still on duta three times a week ? no sides ?

Testosterone is converted to DHT in the skin.

I think for guys who have thick skin, or have a muscular build, dutasteride is OK.

But I saw one picture of a guy who went down three Norwoods, but his skin looked transparent, and
not in a healthy looking way either.

I had to man just for the week after the each SMP session. I'm going to be real strict with the minoxidil and yeah havent stopped the dutasteride 3 x per week and keto shampoo 3 times per week

Some more pics, prior to ceasing regular minoxidil I noticed my scalp was a lot less dry. I also had to stop the me to shampoo for 4 days post each smp session and I noticed some new little hairs growing back.

The alcohol and chemicals might have been making it worse.

Once a week I'm now going to bed with some regular old moisturiser mixed with some bio oil to improve the scalp health (hence the slick lock).

Many of you know the receding is more noticeable on wet hair than dry but I really think stricr the big 3 made the difference, switching from finasteride to dutasteride seemed to be the most dramatic for me. The SMP helps with the contrast and when I saw my barber after much longer than usual he actually thought I had done fue when I first walked in.

This guy was only maintaining his hair. Nothing dramatic.
