People are complaining that they have hair loss in their 40s and 50s, do you know I haven't even turned 20 yet and already lost my hairs in my temple and crown area.
I don't understand why so many young men are having hair loss today. My parent's siblings didn't have noticable hairless until AT LEAST their 30s. I have a cousin that was pretty much bald before he was 20.
I'm 25 years old, I have only a few strands of hair left on the front and 90% gone on top. I'm having to comb over some long strands from the side to cover it and that only covers the mid part. you know how much that sucks. I honestly feel like crying sometimes just looking at the top of my head. it sucks.
1. Not giving enough time for results (min. 3 months - 1 year) 2. Experimenting with Minoxidil alongside (Minoxidil requires long-term compliance) 3. Sourcing propecia on the black market 4. Not capturing baseline 5. Unrealistic expectations (Finasteride only slows hair loss until you take it) 6. Starting too late 7. Poor hair and habits (improve hair washing)
Starting from most important/effective to least: Fin + minox + microneedling + laser + covet shampoo and a good conditioner. Hair will come back. Trust the process and be patient. Start early and maintain. Good luck gents
@@Byokku2013 my hair isn't that thin yet but my hairline is pretty bad so I've been thinking about starting finasteride. will the shedding be noticeable?
@@marcusfox7001 mid as well just shave it and hit it with all three. Finasteride 1mg every day, minoxidil once a day before bed, micro needling 1.5mm once a week(skip minoxidil that day). Your have a Bush growing back in
I’m 21 and the corners of my hairline have been receding since I was 16. I changed hairstyles to a middle part to allow my hair to flow to the sides to cover it. Now my hair is so thin you can see right through it anyways. My crown is beginning to get thin as well. Going to the doc to have a discussion about finasteride and monoxil. I hope it helps until I have enough money for a transplant, or better yet, cause me to not want one anymore.
@@tutu966 so it turns out my testosterone is pretty high. Which is good, but doesnt help the hair situation. Currently on monoxil. Possible Finasteride side effects turned me away from it. My hair hasnt gotten any better, but it definitely isnt getting worse, or at least not as fast as it was.
@@beastlydookie81 ohk, happy to hear that min helped you I have been on it for 6 months, no results, now just started fin. lets see what happens. anyway tc
Finestaride + minoxidil + dermablading. I have seen amazing results in 3 months. Crown area is completely filled and my hairline seems like it’s coming back although it’s finer hairs.
I can see many hair growing within just a month .. I also use monoxidal but I take 3 tablets per week because 1 tab a day is too strong for me. It gives me side effects. But yes, I stated 01/02/2022 .. I can clearly see partial results already.
You said the link to how to correctly wash your hair so that it creates a perfect growing environment you are gonna put that link ? But I could not find it ! where is it ? Can you post it again ?
WHY is everyone talking about looking for cheap fin? I just bought properly at a pharmacy... $55 and it’ll last me like 6 months. It IS already so cheap haha.
Mine is covered by Drug benefits in Canada, the generic 1mg costs $51 for 30 days, however with my drug plan i pay like 5 bucks lol... too easy. If I wanted to save a substanial amount I could get proscar but it doesn't really matter to me. If I had to pay the full cost it would be really shitty though.
I think why men face low libidio on finasteride is that by blocking a certain amount of DHT over time causes a lift in estrogen. DHT helps to regulate or control estrogen levels from rising excessively. An aromatise inhibitor would be required for these individuals
I heard that it can with receding hair but during testing phase is the only we’re focusing on the crown. So there’s some legal mumbo-jumbo tied into that. But some men have shown overall hair growth. But it mostly relies on genetics or something like that
It can regrow your hairline if taken early enough. The thing is that the hairline is generally the first thing to go in MPB, so by the time your start Fin, those hair follicles are usually pretty dead already.
You fellas should look into pure liquid caffeine applied topically with camphor oil. Also l-lysine and Taurine in combination with Finasteride. My hair has grown like wildfire.
@@dimitarmartinovski8101 the big 5 things as usual; finas, minox, biotin, dermaroller and ketonazole shampoo. But what make it different is the frequency and the ammount of those i taken. I avoid to consume them abusely or aggresively. Instead giving them sometimes slowly. I take finasteride 0,5 mg only every after 2 or even 3 Day then i combine in between each Day with biotin and other additional supplement which consist zinc, selenium and vit E mostly. In the first 3or 4 months i used to applied minox twice a Day. But after that(month 6 to 8) i only apply it once a day about an hour before i go to bed at night. In the month of 9 untill 11 i only used it twice a week. But i do dermarolling a bit more often like 3 times in a week, and i only spare time between dermarolling and applying minox for about 8 hours (Instead of common 24 hours) The same thing happened in the process of quiting finas, i reduced the dose every 2 months gradually and slowly, , untill i completely quiting finas in the month of 6 or 7. Ketanazole shampoo twice or only once a week. Now after 2 years quiting those treatment my hair still remains thick even still geting thicker untill Now. The key is take your time slowly and let the treatments periode go longer than usual pattern and avoid the abusing behaviour in using them. then You might gain more permanent and save result. And another thing is keep those biotin and multvitamins consumed gradually
@@azeiras Nice, I am surprised quitting fin didn't result in you losing ground ....maybe your hair loss wasn't that much agressive or maybe the other things work great for you.Good job and effort☺
Can you please tell the difference between dead follicles and dormant follicles? Does dormant follicles/very thin hair can be regrown thick by using fin?
If you got peach fuzz there it’s more then likely not a dead zone. A dead zone is no hair visible and zero chance. I’ve seen people grow hair on dead zones with fin micro needling and minoxidil though. Everyone’s different.
IT STOPS WORKING BY YOUR LATE FORTIES,then any hair saved wil be lost ,i know this myself took propecia for 20 years and monnox,now 58 downhill path not worth it in the end.
Finasteride is pretty straight forward, easy to take, and honestly the only solution to actually fight AGA. You can still look into topical Finasteride or other topical anti androgens if you're worried about sides.
@@stovespiegel - Take it from me, a 65 year old guy. I used Finasteride for 9 years. It lost its efficacy after 7 years. My Doctor prescribed Dutasteride, and not only is my hair coming in stronger, but it helps me with my BPH. Have your Doctor prescribe it off label because it's not FDA approved for Hair loss. Having used both Medications, Dutasteride is the Clear winner.
I started noticing hair loss when I was around 20. Now I'm at norwood 5 even with taking minoxidil 5% for a year and a half... Just started finasteride, wish me luck
@@abhijaywadhwani I would say try to take finasteride a couple more months with close monitoring to see if there is any effect. Do you take minoxidil? Derma roll? Are you getting enough nutrients? Nutrient-wise, I would highly recommend taking hydrolyzed collagen supplements and eggs, which have quite a few different nutrients that are supposed to be necessary for hair growth.
Hello... No finasteride here in my country. There is prostamed 5 mg, the equivalent of proscar. Can I use it instead? It's a brand of finasteride... Thanks
yes it is., inhibiting 5 alpha reductase results in blocking the levels of testootrent being converted into DHT, therefore it does block DHT, hence the label 'DHT blocker'
I HAVE A QUESTION !!!!!!!!!!! Stinging nettle and beta sitosterol are also dht blockers. Can I use ""TOPICAL""finasteride combined with ORALstinging nettle and beta sitosterol ? Will they interact and decrease efficiency of finasteride OR will they increase efficiency??????
20 year old whos been milding receding but thinning strongly. I've been on FIN for 8 months, 4 months in, I gained a lot of density and my hair stopped thinning.At the 8 month mark, my hair seems to be thinning again... I'm confused as a picture I took a month ago (7 months into fin) the hair looks strong whilst present day, it looks no where near as thick. As this is a drastic change in a month, I'm wondering if this is just a shed or?
@@DominusBeats damn bro, im a 19year old who still considering finas. My hair is already horrible right now. I don't know what to do if finasteride fail in me
Hey! I hope you see this comment! I have been using 1.25mg of finasteride and 50mg/ml minoxidil for about 2 years with great effect. My hair was at its peak after about 1,5years and I was really happy. For the last couple of weeks I have noticed that I am starting to lose alot of hair again, which I havent experienced since the first shedding (almost two years ago). Should I be worried? Or is this just another «shedding» fase? Hope to hear from you.
@@erlendhope5699 before shifting to dutasteride, please consult a doctor because it is a much stronger drug than finasteride. Talking about minoxidil, I would recommend you to continue. Stopping it immediately can make you loose all the hair you gained. Even if you want to stop minoxidil, first watch some videos on CZcams about how to stop using minoxidil and then see how it works.
@@pardhusunkara6311 Not till some months ago, I started to have issues at night trying to empty my bladder before going to sleep, I come back once and again and it never seems to empty completely. That's why I thought it could be due to having been taking it so long. By the way, thanks for your answer.
I think DHT is quite useless when your body is done growing, like after the age of 21. I feel like my body is over producing DHT, which was kinda confirmed to me when a urinary tract doctor said my prostate is slightly larger than average for my age (seen through scans). I've taken 1mg fin for hair loss for like 5 months or more while on a bodybuilding regimen, my performance at the gym did not get affected at all, and neither did my libido. I begged my doctor to prescribe 2 or 1.5mg but she didn't approve, thinking it would screw up my health, with pretty much no evidence that it would.
@@coskunaral8621 afaik if there are any detrimental side effects they would appear very quick, like in less than a month. If you took it for several months and saw nothing then most likely your body tolerates this dose. This doctor didn't even give me a reason why not go higher, nor tell me if she would prescribe a higher dose in the future when I see no bad signs, just a straight out NO.
Saturn Dont listen to that guy, Fin is very safe for the vast majority of users. Fun fact: comparisons of twins where one twin has 0 DHT and the other is normal reveals that DHT has little to no effect on muscle gain
Ive done the experimenting with minoxidil thing with little info i had at the time other than it would help a receding hairline and if you stopped using it might get worse quicker than before you have started i started and wasnt worried about it until i started to think about how bad it would be if i cant use minoxidil for a month straight out of supply . Am i going to lose my hair completely ? Am i going to have to go bald ? Now i just take it so i dont get my hair to fall out i have to commit to it now unless there is an actual shortage of minoxidil then sure ill go bald and have to live with it . Now the worry of going bald isnt so scary to me anymore if im going bald it is what it is i will try to change my fashion style into something more fitting to a bald person but for now as im still young in my 20s i prefer to preserve as much hair as i possibly can if i have to go bald then oh well not as scary of a problem to me anymore after long thoughts about it for months I will be in the future soon switching into a mixture of finasteride and minoxidil to further strenthen my receding hairline that is only being kept at bay by minoxidil im aware of the possibile sides as long as i pray and hope they arent horrible sides i hit the gym irregularly and i dont want any decrease in libido , man boobs , fatigue etc. although most of these are uncommon , some rare it still carries risk and im going to try it out and hopefully it works well for me in the long run with little to no sides .. So those of you already on minoxidil and afraid of losing your hair the day you dont have minoxidil just know its not a huge deal sure preserve your hairline if you wish but remember its not the end 🙏
Do I experience hair shedding with fenasteride? I want to start a Soon as possible! Or do all experience hair shedding with fenasteride. Or just some people only?
Hi, I need your guidance my hair are very thin and I have lost many in temple area and other which should is better topical finasteride 1%+ minoxidil 5% or oral finasteride+ topical minoxidil
I love that number 5 is literally: oh yeah it doesn’t really do what they say it does and it’s actually pointless because at one point it just doesn’t work. But if you’re cool with throwing money away: fuck it.
Around 5 years ago, my haircutter told me I was starting to thin in my temples (I was early 20s then) and I freaked out. I asked my doc for a Propecia prescription and quickly realized I couldn't afford it, and I was told then that if I stopped taking it at any time the hair I'd retained would fall out or something. But I'm on a service now that offers actual prescription Finasteride for less than a dollar a day. I'm on month 4, I honestly don't know if it will work or not, I think there's a shedding period, but I know I can afford it for the indefinite future. I'm using Keeps, but there are other services advertised out there like GetRoman. They include the option for minoxidil. I recommend it so far!
pflynn581 sure? Often there is a misconception. Minox makes the hair you have stay longer on the scalp = thicker hair. But if you do not take minox in combination with fin hairs will still die. So it will be less hair for minox to show = minox helps but you still go bald. And because people thin minox is not working anymore. It does but hey it has only so much hair to work with = it looks like it’s not working anymore
@@litjellyfish The hair you have will be at the least maintained with fin and will not fall out.Minox works differently as you say giving a false impression in essence.
pflynn581 exactly! To be blunt. Minox is essentially an advanced “thickening shampoo” so to speak. And that is the danger that some people start to take it. See thicker hair. Thinks it solved their Hairloss and when they start discover the reality later they have lost years big lost hair that could have been saved if they had started with fin
@@litjellyfish hi exactly I I have used mino for years just thickens but still losing hairs but once I started fin 1 mg daily I gained lot's of hair never lost any since
If you stop taking Minoxidil and that hair loss in mass happens(as in point number 2) Does It mean those hair will grow again as they are in a tellogen phase ? (Though they may come up finner) Or will they just stop growing for good? I stopped Minoxidil and I'm seeing a huge hair loss
Stopping minoxidil can cause a severe case of telogen effluvium for months (time varies per person). Hair regrowth can happen once the telogen effluvium stops and the growth phase in your hair follicles start. The amount of regrowth is determined by the state of each hair follicle and how far along the miniaturization process is. If the hair follicle isn’t miniaturized then it should regrow after several months to a year. I went through the same thing 🙂
@@WingsWithWax my hair Is thin so i can be a bit miniaturized (but It Is been really slow thinning from years) It has been 5 months using Minoxidil, finasteride and ketokonazole cream and while i dont see the condition has worsened. It has not regrowed yet... Gotta keep on using It. After all this is a for life treatmemt
@@marysanchez4789 finasteride and minoxidil are both fda approved for treating hair loss so keep it up! These treatments can take up to a year to see significant results but know just because you’re not seeing it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening so don’t give up!
so i did the second thing where i compined mino and fin and stopped mino after 3 months and ive been experiencing sheeding for 2 months plus now even thow hair are thicker than ever.... for how long will the shedding from stoping of mino will continue
@@Zaxstar007 You sound like a water brain bro, If you’re so lazy that you can’t apply a liquid to your head for 3 minutes every day to keep your f***** hair then why even start it in the first place.
@N T so is the sole purpose to help with absorption of topics? Or can it be used just as a way to stimulate hairgrowth while finasteride ensures the regrowth of those stimulated follicles?
Dermarolling has an effect similar to Platelet Rich Plasma: it stimulates collagen production and blood flow. You can do it with or without minoxidil-though I don’t see why you wouldn’t combine it. Finasteride is a 5a-II inhibitor and has nothing to do with the mechanism of action that dermarolling has; you can definitely combine it.
@@Al0011235813 thanks for the reply. I know that dermarolling causes temporary acute inflammation, and I also have seen that DHT builds up in areas where there is high inflammation in the hair follicle such as the temples which have the most scalp tension. My only concern is that dermaroller can do more damage than benefit if used without the Minoxidil
@@Al0011235813 as far as why I don't use Minoxidil, any gains you have from that drug will go away if you stop using it so i want to leave it as a last resort.. hopefully the finasteride and dermaroller alone can work
@@alitherockandrolllover4723 Ive been dermarolling for over a year at 2mm depth every week. Its not made it worse i gained thickness on thinner parts and havent used minox or fin while doing it. (I do have minox and fin now but didnt used it yet for that whole year) also I use nizoral after dermapenning so you wont get bad inflammation keeping bacteria out!
Hi hair guard doctor : I am about to start finesteride 0.1% and minoxidil 5 % TOPICAL treatment. Does it work ? Please help with your opinion ? I am also thinking about adding your products with the finesteride and minoxidil topical treatment . Help please !!
Eh. So i did the 7% version and it was giving to me in a glass beaker instead of the plastic ones like Kirkland. And you are only supposed to do once a day 5-6 drops i didnt realize that by changing to the plastic i was like 3-4x the dose. And it really fucked me up for about 3 weeks. Massive headache, zero libido. Nothing couldnt even think about anything sexual. It was a really bad experience
It work in hairline? The study say that fina with minxo5 is the best way of treating aga. Minox have not side effects and it s not a problem tu use for life.
Interesting. You have some sort of Email I can write for questions perhaps? I have some strange observations and reservations concerning different things. Regards Jarl.
It's normal bro keep taking it I am taking it since a month and this happened to me too . There's nothing to worry about your weaker hair are falling down so that new stronger hair could grow .

Hey man, quick question: Can creatine be taken with finasteride? If creatine is known to increase DHT and thus speed up MPB, can finasteride negate these effects? would they be safe to take together? Do you have any personal experience with taking them together? Thank you!
@@AS-rd4xi Thats why I'm asking if finasteride would counteract it. Creatine is arguably the best supplement for performance and building muscle. I have spoken to some doctors who say that the increase in DHT from creatine is not enough to accelerate MPB when being used with finasteride but I want some more opinions before deciding to take it or not. Thanks for your input.
@@jbarnes4521 from what i've read even taking finasteride creatine will bustle your hair loss if you are DHT sensitive, there are not enough studies because creatine is a huge business but from others experience better not to risk it.

@@rezahealy7224 it's insane that it takes so long. Our dht is immediately stifled once you take the first pill. Why does it take 6 months to see any improvement?
@@TheDrunkHamster Because the hair goes through different stages of growth,from a resting stage which is around 3 months and then the growth stage which if you are already thin is obviously gonna take a while to reverse.
I've been on Minoxidil now for the past 4-5 months and the results have been okay, but not what I expected. I'm considering calling the doctor to see if I qualify for Finasteride to use in combination with Minox but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. My biggest worry is that I will screw up the progress with Minoxidil somehow. With Finasteride, is there a shedding phase as with Minoxidil? Anyone else been in the same situation?
Finasteride does have a shedding phase but it’s followed by newer thicker hair growth. Combining it with minoxidil can give great results. Actually I’d say it’s necessary. Using minoxidil alone does not address the root cause of your hair loss. It’s like filling a bottle of water when there’s a hole in the bottle. You’re just buying time.
I'm 23 yrs old(turning 24 in 4 months). I've recently noticed that my hairline is receding and I compared some of my previous photographs. However, It not a very aggressive hair loss in temple area. Now, it is taking a M shape on my frontal area. What course of action should i take to mitigate hair loss while concerning the plan for next decades.?
I would start by counting the individual hairs you loose each day in the shower. The first treatment would be Minoxidil for at least 6 months. If during the end of the 6 months your daily hair loss has reduced significantly, then just keep using that and you're set :). If it hasn't stopped the hair loss by much, then you could ADD finasteride (topical Finasteride seems to have significantly less side effects the the oral pill). Finasteride will start working in about 4 months.
i re grew some fine mini hairs on my temples but they havent gotten strong yet to re fill my temples. im derma rolling now. been on fin for 5 years. should have taken it earlier but at that time i wasnt sure if it was a mature hairline or receeding hairline. used rogaine before but got keep using it. fin is just easier to use. envy my friends who are my age 40s and no hairloss at all
I understand how a receding hairline can often deceive you into thinking that your hairline's maturing. I'm a Norwood 2 now cause of it. Also, it took you 5 years to get those little baby hairs coming in at the temples?
I have been taking finasteride and minoxidil for nearly three months. Is there anyway to come off minoxidil now that I've I've already been going with it for some time?
This that it do not give any effect after 40 I find it hard to believe. It must depend on the DHT levels still right. Also that the effects would wear of is strange. Usually it’s that the persons gets spikes in DTH due to training etc etc. I paused my finasteride a little when I was 44 and I started to shed and loose a bit. And started again and then I stopped and I regrew a little again.
There are a couple studies you can find online that shows Fin itself doesn't lose its effectiveness over time (serum and scalp levels of DHT always stay the same, something like that). Like you said, it's the amount of DHT during spikes, and overall increase in sensitivity to DHT the older you get.
Arno yea and to be fair. Is it really any good data that proves we get more sensitive to DHT when we get older? Often it seems that DHT is leas when older. So why do people perceive they are loosing hair when older? My own pure gut feeling speculation is this: We get older. Even guys with perfect hairlines and no real MPB get thinner hair. Our bodies get older. Grey hairs is thinner. Even body hair is thinner. We might get grey busky eyebrows. Nose and ear hair. But even that hair is usually thin in nature = summary. Old people have less thick and good hair quality for both DHT and not DHT sensitive hair. Above in combination with MPB Especially those with slow or semi aggressive thinning. It’s not more DHT sensitivity. It’s just the toll. If hair slowly gets thinner + my previous point. Well then you reach phases when it visually looks like you are loosing more. Like when you are 60 , 70. Also I think older me. Don’t care to style as much as before So my theory is we are DHT sensitive in the same way. It’s just progression and other factors that kick in at certain ages :) This said. Maybe there is data proving we get more DHT sensitive when older. Just never heard it. Also finasteride for Hairloss is about 30y old how. So it’s just now we will see people using fin hitting their 60+ It will be interesting to monitor if those will suddenly loose more hair. My bet is that they will loose very little. If finasteride hace kept them stable since starting I think it will continue to be stable until the end of life.
@@litjellyfish You're completely right, I haven't seen a study that shows that we become more DHT-sensitive the older we get aswell! That just might be it, taking care quite a lot of older people, I can tell you it's true that overall quality of their scalp hair is altered, and in a diffuse way, even on non DHT-sensitive hair, like you said. Even on females. But still: as we get older, our androgens levels tend to decrease, and yet we tend to increase our chance of developping BPH, which is caused by DHT. So yeah, I don't really know what's going on with DHT at an older age, I know it does bind to androgen receptors really well but it should be less present with the natural decrease in T... Well to be honest, I can only thing of Trump as a an older dude using Finasteride, but you know... Trump and hair doesn't go very well in the same sentence haha...
I have the same problem and I now have balding temple areas where previously I had hair, my hair loss is now happening alot faster I'm 3 and a half months and had 0 improvement
It shows ur government takes care of your citizens. Since we don't know what will be the side effects it brings & also they might not 100% sure of those medicines so for your goodness they have decided not to give prescription until they find true root cause medicine.
@@satwiksunkadmath3082 im gonna have a con with dr next month and I want minoxidil and im gonna ask him: 'can I (hypothetically of course) put pure finasteride in it correctly dosed' and 'would it penetrate the skin sufficiently in the solution'?
At the risk of upsetting people far wiser than me, I respectfully disagree. I am 55 and started using both Minoxidil and Finasteride about 9 months ago. I have had two friends (truly) grab my head to see if they can see if I have had a transplant. No the hair regrowth is not that good in my opinion, but even at 54 (now 55), the difference it made was noticable after about 9 months. It's cheap enough too. Other things I have played around with are little "derma rollers" with a depth of 1.5mm (google it). That may or may not have had some beneficial effect, I do not know. All I *do* know is that I was 8 years OLDER than you when I started and my hair is now visibly fuller all over and areas that were TOTALLY bald (crown) and areas that were sparse (temples) have made good progress. If you can afford to speculate a full years worth of both minoxidil and finasteride, then your doctor may well agree there is no harm in trying. For what it is worth, I use 5% minoxidil twice a day as a topical solution and take it with finasteride orally in the morning too. As always, your mileage may vary, but certainly with some people, a combined attack with both treatments DOES work even in the mid fifties. Not much point showing you a photo as I didn't take one at the start - so nothing to compare with.
You can, the only thing is that the older you get, the more sensitive your hair follicles become to DHT, it seems. So Finasteride might not be enough, but there's always Dutasteride, in case it doesn't work out for you. Beware of side effects tho, Dutasteride is a tad more powerful than Fin.
@@pantherXeroara Oh.. What country? I asked a drop in doctor for it, and took some blood tests for something else, but she said she'd have to read up on it, and look at blood tests. When the blood tests arrived I asked "And what about the finasteride?" and she replied she'd write me a prescription. But that being said, I got 5mg pills that I need to split in 4.. And right now I'm gonna go 3 a week instead of 5 a week which is gross overmedication. even 1mg a day is too much according to two australian hair loss doctors.. They have a channel here on youtube where they talk about hair loss A to Z. Dr. Knudsen was even one of the original doctors who did a study on .. i don't remember, finasteride or minoxodil way back when. They tell all their clients to take 1mg 3 times a week. If I follow the same regime, that turns out to 1.25mg 3 times a week.. No need to overmedicate when you get the same results. They also recommend minoxodil once a day as it's half life is 21 hours or something like that. (In tissue, not talking about plasma)

Finasteride lost its efficacy after 7 years. Got my Doctor to prescribe Dutasteride last July, 2020. Hair comes in thicker and stronger because it's more potent than Finasteride. I'm 65, also have BPH, so the Dutasteride is helping out greatly with this issue as well.
@@TheDrakulie - Believe it or not, stopping all Pornography /masturbation sessions, restores erections when you're with a real woman. Its actually called PIED. It can happen to men in their 20's and 30's. I'm 65, I'm taking 0.5mg of Dutasteride every day, and still have erections. But if all what I'm saying doesn't register with you, there's always Taldinafil for ED. But stopping all Porn might be a helpful, and taking Dutasteride will bring back your hair, much better than Finasteride. I have used Finasteride for 9 years, and it loses its effect at the 7 year mark. Dutasteride is the superior Medication by far.

hey buddy what about if I have been using minoxidil for a year , now I switched over to finasteride, should I continue with the minoxidil or scrap it?
People are complaining that they have hair loss in their 40s and 50s, do you know I haven't even turned 20 yet and already lost my hairs in my temple and crown area.
My shit started thinning at 16 lmao I’m 20 now I’ve managed to not go completely bald and still look ok but hair is thinner then a motherfucker
I don't understand why so many young men are having hair loss today. My parent's siblings didn't have noticable hairless until AT LEAST their 30s. I have a cousin that was pretty much bald before he was 20.
Its not a contest
I was 15 when IT started, NW3 at 23. Fuck
I'm 25 years old, I have only a few strands of hair left on the front and 90% gone on top. I'm having to comb over some long strands from the side to cover it and that only covers the mid part. you know how much that sucks. I honestly feel like crying sometimes just looking at the top of my head. it sucks.
1. Not giving enough time for results (min. 3 months - 1 year)
2. Experimenting with Minoxidil alongside (Minoxidil requires long-term compliance)
3. Sourcing propecia on the black market
4. Not capturing baseline
5. Unrealistic expectations (Finasteride only slows hair loss until you take it)
6. Starting too late
7. Poor hair and habits (improve hair washing)
Starting from most important/effective to least:
Fin + minox + microneedling + laser + covet shampoo and a good conditioner. Hair will come back. Trust the process and be patient. Start early and maintain. Good luck gents
You don’t need the laser and more then likely not the minoxidil if you hop right on finasteride

WHY is everyone talking about looking for cheap fin? I just bought properly at a pharmacy... $55 and it’ll last me like 6 months. It IS already so cheap haha.
Do you need a prescription?
Jake Daddio In Canada I did.
Mine is covered by Drug benefits in Canada, the generic 1mg costs $51 for 30 days, however with my drug plan i pay like 5 bucks lol... too easy. If I wanted to save a substanial amount I could get proscar but it doesn't really matter to me. If I had to pay the full cost it would be really shitty though.
My fin is 80 a month
Ricke Yuson That sucks.
I think why men face low libidio on finasteride is that by blocking a certain amount of DHT over time causes a lift in estrogen. DHT helps to regulate or control estrogen levels from rising excessively. An aromatise inhibitor would be required for these individuals
i do hair transplants for new growth, I've been using finasteride for 15 years simply to avoid further hair loss
@Eric Izaguirre good, no side effects
do you take everyday sir
@@pagenotfound- yes
15 years 😲😲😲
Did it thicken your hair?
I heard that it can with receding hair but during testing phase is the only we’re focusing on the crown. So there’s some legal mumbo-jumbo tied into that. But some men have shown overall hair growth. But it mostly relies on genetics or something like that
It can regrow your hairline if taken early enough. The thing is that the hairline is generally the first thing to go in MPB, so by the time your start Fin, those hair follicles are usually pretty dead already.
@@arno8327 Yes the key is to start before miniaturisation passes 50%

@@dimitarmartinovski8101 True!! I 've been through this scheme and gain more permanen result
@@azeiras cool do you use anything else ? And how long until you got noticeable results ?
@@dimitarmartinovski8101 the big 5 things as usual; finas, minox, biotin, dermaroller and ketonazole shampoo.
But what make it different is the frequency and the ammount of those i taken. I avoid to consume them abusely or aggresively. Instead giving them sometimes slowly.
I take finasteride 0,5 mg only every after 2 or even 3 Day then i combine in between each Day with biotin and other additional supplement which consist zinc, selenium and vit E mostly.
In the first 3or 4 months i used to applied minox twice a Day. But after that(month 6 to 8) i only apply it once a day about an hour before i go to bed at night.
In the month of 9 untill 11 i only used it twice a week.
But i do dermarolling a bit more often like 3 times in a week, and i only spare time between dermarolling and applying minox for about 8 hours (Instead of common 24 hours)
The same thing happened in the process of quiting finas, i reduced the dose every 2 months gradually and slowly, , untill i completely quiting finas in the month of 6 or 7.
Ketanazole shampoo twice or only once a week.
Now after 2 years quiting those treatment my hair still remains thick even still geting thicker untill Now.
The key is take your time slowly and let the treatments periode go longer than usual pattern and avoid the abusing behaviour in using them. then You might gain more permanent and save result.
And another thing is keep those biotin and multvitamins consumed gradually
@@azeiras Nice, I am surprised quitting fin didn't result in you losing ground ....maybe your hair loss wasn't that much agressive or maybe the other things work great for you.Good job and effort☺
Can you please tell the difference between dead follicles and dormant follicles?
Does dormant follicles/very thin hair can be regrown thick by using fin?
If you got peach fuzz there it’s more then likely not a dead zone. A dead zone is no hair visible and zero chance. I’ve seen people grow hair on dead zones with fin micro needling and minoxidil though. Everyone’s different.
If there is still peach fuzz, then you could bring it back. If it’s a slick bald zone, there is no hope.
@@ParkerH2020 there’s hope trust me
Long-term dormant is considered dead because it cannot grow back anymore.

2:24 False, finasteride is NOT a "DHT blocker" .. It's a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor...
yes it is., inhibiting 5 alpha reductase results in blocking the levels of testootrent being converted into DHT, therefore it does block DHT, hence the label 'DHT blocker'

@The Joker 6 months more or less
I think DHT is quite useless when your body is done growing, like after the age of 21. I feel like my body is over producing DHT, which was kinda confirmed to me when a urinary tract doctor said my prostate is slightly larger than average for my age (seen through scans). I've taken 1mg fin for hair loss for like 5 months or more while on a bodybuilding regimen, my performance at the gym did not get affected at all, and neither did my libido. I begged my doctor to prescribe 2 or 1.5mg but she didn't approve, thinking it would screw up my health, with pretty much no evidence that it would.
Saturn 5 months are so short for see the side effect.
@@coskunaral8621 afaik if there are any detrimental side effects they would appear very quick, like in less than a month. If you took it for several months and saw nothing then most likely your body tolerates this dose. This doctor didn't even give me a reason why not go higher, nor tell me if she would prescribe a higher dose in the future when I see no bad signs, just a straight out NO.
Strange of you have a to big prostate that she did not want to prescribe proscar instead
Saturn how old are you?
Saturn Dont listen to that guy, Fin is very safe for the vast majority of users. Fun fact: comparisons of twins where one twin has 0 DHT and the other is normal reveals that DHT has little to no effect on muscle gain

@achraf bsl I live in Portugal and we can get genuine brand drugs in any drugstore without a prescription.
Ive done the experimenting with minoxidil thing with little info i had at the time other than it would help a receding hairline and if you stopped using it might get worse quicker than before you have started i started and wasnt worried about it until i started to think about how bad it would be if i cant use minoxidil for a month straight out of supply . Am i going to lose my hair completely ? Am i going to have to go bald ? Now i just take it so i dont get my hair to fall out i have to commit to it now unless there is an actual shortage of minoxidil then sure ill go bald and have to live with it .
Now the worry of going bald isnt so scary to me anymore if im going bald it is what it is i will try to change my fashion style into something more fitting to a bald person but for now as im still young in my 20s i prefer to preserve as much hair as i possibly can if i have to go bald then oh well not as scary of a problem to me anymore after long thoughts about it for months
I will be in the future soon switching into a mixture of finasteride and minoxidil to further strenthen my receding hairline that is only being kept at bay by minoxidil im aware of the possibile sides as long as i pray and hope they arent horrible sides i hit the gym irregularly and i dont want any decrease in libido , man boobs , fatigue etc. although most of these are uncommon , some rare it still carries risk and im going to try it out and hopefully it works well for me in the long run with little to no sides ..
So those of you already on minoxidil and afraid of losing your hair the day you dont have minoxidil just know its not a huge deal sure preserve your hairline if you wish but remember its not the end 🙏

I love that number 5 is literally: oh yeah it doesn’t really do what they say it does and it’s actually pointless because at one point it just doesn’t work. But if you’re cool with throwing money away: fuck it.
Around 5 years ago, my haircutter told me I was starting to thin in my temples (I was early 20s then) and I freaked out. I asked my doc for a Propecia prescription and quickly realized I couldn't afford it, and I was told then that if I stopped taking it at any time the hair I'd retained would fall out or something. But I'm on a service now that offers actual prescription Finasteride for less than a dollar a day. I'm on month 4, I honestly don't know if it will work or not, I think there's a shedding period, but I know I can afford it for the indefinite future. I'm using Keeps, but there are other services advertised out there like GetRoman. They include the option for minoxidil. I recommend it so far!
Well, if I get to keep my hair till I'm 50 or so, I'm good. I just don't wanna be bald so young.
So I started taking minoxidil 3 weeks ago and started finateride and microneedling.
Should I quit the minoxidil?
@Harut Hajin I would trade cancer at 70 for hair in my 20’s 100 percent
which brand do we buy?
I've spoken to qualified surgeons and doctors and none have said Finasteride effects wear off in time but they do with minoxidil.
pflynn581 sure? Often there is a misconception.
Minox makes the hair you have stay longer on the scalp = thicker hair.
But if you do not take minox in combination with fin hairs will still die. So it will be less hair for minox to show = minox helps but you still go bald.
And because people thin minox is not working anymore. It does but hey it has only so much hair to work with = it looks like it’s not working anymore
@@litjellyfish The hair you have will be at the least maintained with fin and will not fall out.Minox works differently as you say giving a false impression in essence.
pflynn581 exactly! To be blunt. Minox is essentially an advanced “thickening shampoo” so to speak. And that is the danger that some people start to take it. See thicker hair. Thinks it solved their Hairloss and when they start discover the reality later they have lost years big lost hair that could have been saved if they had started with fin

If you stop taking Minoxidil and that hair loss in mass happens(as in point number 2)
Does It mean those hair will grow again as they are in a tellogen phase ? (Though they may come up finner)
Or will they just stop growing for good?
I stopped Minoxidil and I'm seeing a huge hair loss
Stopping minoxidil can cause a severe case of telogen effluvium for months (time varies per person). Hair regrowth can happen once the telogen effluvium stops and the growth phase in your hair follicles start. The amount of regrowth is determined by the state of each hair follicle and how far along the miniaturization process is. If the hair follicle isn’t miniaturized then it should regrow after several months to a year. I went through the same thing 🙂
@@WingsWithWax my hair Is thin so i can be a bit miniaturized (but It Is been really slow thinning from years)

When you said minoxidil. You mean oral or topical thanks?
Topical.
Can you combine finasteride with 1.5mm weekly dermaroller without using Minoxidil?
@N T so is the sole purpose to help with absorption of topics? Or can it be used just as a way to stimulate hairgrowth while finasteride ensures the regrowth of those stimulated follicles?
Dermarolling has an effect similar to Platelet Rich Plasma: it stimulates collagen production and blood flow. You can do it with or without minoxidil-though I don’t see why you wouldn’t combine it. Finasteride is a 5a-II inhibitor and has nothing to do with the mechanism of action that dermarolling has; you can definitely combine it.
@@Al0011235813 thanks for the reply. I know that dermarolling causes temporary acute inflammation, and I also have seen that DHT builds up in areas where there is high inflammation in the hair follicle such as the temples which have the most scalp tension. My only concern is that dermaroller can do more damage than benefit if used without the Minoxidil
@@Al0011235813 as far as why I don't use Minoxidil, any gains you have from that drug will go away if you stop using it so i want to leave it as a last resort.. hopefully the finasteride and dermaroller alone can work

Why would you do that? Raising DHT when trying to fight hairloss is nonsensical
@@AS-rd4xi Thats why I'm asking if finasteride would counteract it. Creatine is arguably the best supplement for performance and building muscle. I have spoken to some doctors who say that the increase in DHT from creatine is not enough to accelerate MPB when being used with finasteride but I want some more opinions before deciding to take it or not. Thanks for your input.
@@jbarnes4521 from what i've read even taking finasteride creatine will bustle your hair loss if you are DHT sensitive, there are not enough studies because creatine is a huge business but from others experience better not to risk it.
Everytime I take creatine it fucks my hair
If you are going to take DHT, use Dutasteride instead of Finasteride so at least you are suppressing more DHT
thx for the info, what do u think of oral MINOXIDIL
good luck getting a doctor to prescribe you oral min
Matthew Lambrianou i think only doctors that know about hair loss will do it
oral minoxidil is not prescribed for hairloss. it's for cardiovascular reasons if I'm not mistaken
Matthew Lambrianou its for high blood pressure, it can be used for hair loss, but only doctors that do research and are knowledgeable with latest treatment for hair loss will prescribe it

Im at 6months but still hair shedding should i stop?
Fuck
@@rezahealy7224 it's insane that it takes so long. Our dht is immediately stifled once you take the first pill. Why does it take 6 months to see any improvement?
I’m similar
@@TheDrunkHamster Because the hair goes through different stages of growth,from a resting stage which is around 3 months and then the growth stage which if you are already thin is obviously gonna take a while to reverse.

I've been on Minoxidil now for the past 4-5 months and the results have been okay, but not what I expected. I'm considering calling the doctor to see if I qualify for Finasteride to use in combination with Minox but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. My biggest worry is that I will screw up the progress with Minoxidil somehow. With Finasteride, is there a shedding phase as with Minoxidil? Anyone else been in the same situation?
Combining the 2 will only help your gains, as they both work differently.
Finasteride does have a shedding phase but it’s followed by newer thicker hair growth. Combining it with minoxidil can give great results.
Actually I’d say it’s necessary. Using minoxidil alone does not address the root cause of your hair loss. It’s like filling a bottle of water when there’s a hole in the bottle. You’re just buying time.
I am currently on Minoxidil and am planning on switching to Finasteride. Will I lose the hairs that were retained by Minoxidil?

Use both. They have different functions.

Husain Ismaeel use both it works better because minoxidil will give u thicker hairs and finesteride will give you growth it works trust

I'm 23 yrs old(turning 24 in 4 months). I've recently noticed that my hairline is receding and I compared some of my previous photographs. However, It not a very aggressive hair loss in temple area. Now, it is taking a M shape on my frontal area. What course of action should i take to mitigate hair loss while concerning the plan for next decades.?
I would start by counting the individual hairs you loose each day in the shower. The first treatment would be Minoxidil for at least 6 months. If during the end of the 6 months your daily hair loss has reduced significantly, then just keep using that and you're set :). If it hasn't stopped the hair loss by much, then you could ADD finasteride (topical Finasteride seems to have significantly less side effects the the oral pill). Finasteride will start working in about 4 months.
@James Grieve yes, I use topical finasteride and no visible aging
What about shedding
I did the mistake starting finasteride with minoxidil
what do you mean? should you start minoxidil first before finasteride?
Hahaha
i re grew some fine mini hairs on my temples but they havent gotten strong yet to re fill my temples. im derma rolling now. been on fin for 5 years. should have taken it earlier but at that time i wasnt sure if it was a mature hairline or receeding hairline. used rogaine before but got keep using it. fin is just easier to use. envy my friends who are my age 40s and no hairloss at all
I understand how a receding hairline can often deceive you into thinking that your hairline's maturing. I'm a Norwood 2 now cause of it. Also, it took you 5 years to get those little baby hairs coming in at the temples?
I have been taking finasteride and minoxidil for nearly three months. Is there anyway to come off minoxidil now that I've I've already been going with it for some time?
If you have to, slowly taper down.
Nah bro, you gotta keep using minox to keep your gains unfortunately.
Well i dont want to use min for the rest of my life but then it's not optional. If i want to fight hair lost its either fin or min. So i got no choice
Better yet, both
This that it do not give any effect after 40 I find it hard to believe. It must depend on the DHT levels still right.
Also that the effects would wear of is strange. Usually it’s that the persons gets spikes in DTH due to training etc etc.
I paused my finasteride a little when I was 44 and I started to shed and loose a bit. And started again and then I stopped and I regrew a little again.
There are a couple studies you can find online that shows Fin itself doesn't lose its effectiveness over time (serum and scalp levels of DHT always stay the same, something like that). Like you said, it's the amount of DHT during spikes, and overall increase in sensitivity to DHT the older you get.
Arno yea and to be fair. Is it really any good data that proves we get more sensitive to DHT when we get older?
Often it seems that DHT is leas when older.
So why do people perceive they are loosing hair when older?
My own pure gut feeling speculation is this:
We get older. Even guys with perfect hairlines and no real MPB get thinner hair. Our bodies get older. Grey hairs is thinner. Even body hair is thinner. We might get grey busky eyebrows. Nose and ear hair. But even that hair is usually thin in nature = summary. Old people have less thick and good hair quality for both DHT and not DHT sensitive hair.
Above in combination with MPB Especially those with slow or semi aggressive thinning. It’s not more DHT sensitivity. It’s just the toll. If hair slowly gets thinner + my previous point. Well then you reach phases when it visually looks like you are loosing more. Like when you are 60 , 70. Also I think older me. Don’t care to style as much as before
So my theory is we are DHT sensitive in the same way. It’s just progression and other factors that kick in at certain ages :)
This said. Maybe there is data proving we get more DHT sensitive when older. Just never heard it.
Also finasteride for Hairloss is about 30y old how. So it’s just now we will see people using fin hitting their 60+
It will be interesting to monitor if those will suddenly loose more hair. My bet is that they will loose very little. If finasteride hace kept them stable since starting I think it will continue to be stable until the end of life.
@@litjellyfish You're completely right, I haven't seen a study that shows that we become more DHT-sensitive the older we get aswell!
That just might be it, taking care quite a lot of older people, I can tell you it's true that overall quality of their scalp hair is altered, and in a diffuse way, even on non DHT-sensitive hair, like you said. Even on females.
But still: as we get older, our androgens levels tend to decrease, and yet we tend to increase our chance of developping BPH, which is caused by DHT.
So yeah, I don't really know what's going on with DHT at an older age, I know it does bind to androgen receptors really well but it should be less present with the natural decrease in T...
Well to be honest, I can only thing of Trump as a an older dude using Finasteride, but you know... Trump and hair doesn't go very well in the same sentence haha...

@@Originalzzzz OK its best to discuss with doctor everything before you start medication. Make sure you are clear with everything.
Can you plz tell me is there any difference between 1mg Finasteride every day or alternate days dose 🙄 please reply?
Both the same broski don’t stress over it finasteride stays in cells for months so makes no difference
If your worried about sides, 0.5 mg everyday is better than 1 mg every other day, because DHT levels as well as finasteride levels stay consistent
@@c_4ldn.official No it only last 6 to 8 hours in your blood that's why doctors insist to take it daily at specific time
So I guess at age 47 there’s no point in me even starting finasteride then.
Yeah, follicles are shot by then
At the risk of upsetting people far wiser than me, I respectfully disagree. I am 55 and started using both Minoxidil and Finasteride about 9 months ago. I have had two friends (truly) grab my head to see if they can see if I have had a transplant. No the hair regrowth is not that good in my opinion, but even at 54 (now 55), the difference it made was noticable after about 9 months. It's cheap enough too.
Other things I have played around with are little "derma rollers" with a depth of 1.5mm (google it). That may or may not have had some beneficial effect, I do not know. All I *do* know is that I was 8 years OLDER than you when I started and my hair is now visibly fuller all over and areas that were TOTALLY bald (crown) and areas that were sparse (temples) have made good progress.
If you can afford to speculate a full years worth of both minoxidil and finasteride, then your doctor may well agree there is no harm in trying.
For what it is worth, I use 5% minoxidil twice a day as a topical solution and take it with finasteride orally in the morning too.
As always, your mileage may vary, but certainly with some people, a combined attack with both treatments DOES work even in the mid fifties. Not much point showing you a photo as I didn't take one at the start - so nothing to compare with.
Of course you can.It works well at all ages especially if you still have a decent amount of hair.Your follicles are not shot,that is rubbish.
You can, the only thing is that the older you get, the more sensitive your hair follicles become to DHT, it seems. So Finasteride might not be enough, but there's always Dutasteride, in case it doesn't work out for you. Beware of side effects tho, Dutasteride is a tad more powerful than Fin.
One of the best response to treatment I’ve seen was on a man 42-45 years old. Try it out and then see if it works or not.

3:42 that's strange to be honest, it's very easy to get prescription on finasteride.
Right? They practically give them away
@@pantherXeroara Well no, but you just have to ask for it, have a blood test and then you might get it. (in my experience)
@@AndreasEUR they prescribe it at hims over the phone. I just had to answer a few questions (but it's more pricey than a regular prescription)
@@pantherXeroara Oh.. What country?
I asked a drop in doctor for it, and took some blood tests for something else, but she said she'd have to read up on it, and look at blood tests.
When the blood tests arrived I asked "And what about the finasteride?" and she replied she'd write me a prescription.
But that being said, I got 5mg pills that I need to split in 4.. And right now I'm gonna go 3 a week instead of 5 a week which is gross overmedication. even 1mg a day is too much according to two australian hair loss doctors.. They have a channel here on youtube where they talk about hair loss A to Z.
Dr. Knudsen was even one of the original doctors who did a study on .. i don't remember, finasteride or minoxodil way back when.
They tell all their clients to take 1mg 3 times a week. If I follow the same regime, that turns out to 1.25mg 3 times a week..
No need to overmedicate when you get the same results. They also recommend minoxodil once a day as it's half life is 21 hours or something like that. (In tissue, not talking about plasma)
@@AndreasEUR in the US but I think Hims is international. The prescribe 1mg for daily use. Just ordered it last week waiting for it to arrive. They a sell minoxidil bundle too

Finasteride lost its efficacy after 7 years. Got my Doctor to prescribe Dutasteride last July, 2020. Hair comes in thicker and stronger because it's more potent than Finasteride. I'm 65, also have BPH, so the Dutasteride is helping out greatly with this issue as well.

But if all what I'm saying doesn't register with you, there's always Taldinafil for ED.
