Anyone here got experience with finasteride? Any uk anons know where to get it?
Tried minoxidil for about 9 months (been off now for about 6 months). Got a number cut every 3 months to check but never saw any sign of hair coming back.
I was just looking at some old photos earlier, I think minoxidil may have actually had a negative affect on my hair.

This. Nothing looks more pathetic than a guy desperately trying to hold onto his hair. The shit completely wrecks your self-esteem, too. That's my biggest reason for advocating shaving; I remember what it was like before I did it, and it was awful. I just threw money at remedies, and none of them actually did anything to make me feel better, there was still a constant anxiety about how I looked, and whether not not the balding was getting worse. Shaving made all of the anxiety go away, and it's probably one of the best choices I've ever made. A guy that's comfortable with being bald is always going to lead a better life (and look more attractive through displaying confidence) than a person who's constantly worrying about how bald he looks.

Transplants are a pretty awful solution, too. Shit's expensive, takes forever to do (which you're awake for), has an awful recovery period, and doesn't actually do anything to stop hair loss. You'll still loose hair, just not where the transplant it, so you'll either need to keep getting transplants, or end up with a weird, unnatural hairline and a lot of scars.

Elon Musk is also rich as fuck and can afford all kinds of experimental treatments and upkeep that no one here can ever dream of. The same goes for most actors that suddenly went from being bald to have great hair, like Matthew McConnaghey. That kind of thing is always going to be out of reach for most people, so it's not even worth comparing his results to what a normal person is going to get.

Most average people who get a transplant end up paying a bunch of money for a horrific procedure that, at best, is going to have mixed and probably temporary results (of they make it through the incredibly demanding recovery procedure and it takes). That's just the way it is. And like I said, it's really important to think about your mental wellbeing during this whole process. Balding is fucking rough on you emotionally, and that never really goes away while it's still a threat. Shit, that's why you see threads like this posted all the time on multiple boards. I guarantee that no matter how good Musk's hair looks now, there's still some fear in the back of his mind about balding, and he still probably gives himself panicked checks in the mirror to make sure whatever he's paying for is still working.

And at the end of the day, dealing with that stress and anxiety over a trivial thing isn't worth it. That's the one thing everyone who shaves their head agrees on - how absolutely freeing it feels. All of that confidence-destroying worry just becomes a non-issue, and that's absolutely worth it.

You can purchase it online in the UK from a UK pharmacy website. Get generic finasteride, it's not that expensive.

If you understand how hair loss occurs, you'll understand how it works and how it is the best thing for you. You'll also understand all the other advice such as take this vitamin etc. are bullshit and useless posted by people who don't understand how hair loss occurs.

Generic minoxidil is 100% the same as branded. If you are on fin, I would probably just stick to that though as you have diffuse thinning and you'd need to apply minoxidil on a large part of your head.

Fin has very little reported side effects, never had any issues with it. Just remember the bad stories you might read online is because when something goes bad people post and rant about it, people who have success don't tend to go online and post so much about it, they just get on with life.

As a temporary solution, your hair would look fine if you sued something such as Toppik Hair Building Fibers. Yes that scares most people off using those things but it really does look natural and real, especially on diffuse thinners.

Fin should cost you about £75 for 6 months. So £150 for a full year isn't bad at all.

>how is someone who literally shaves his entire head so he doesnt have to show his thinning less insecure than someone who tries to keep it?
For me (and it seems like most others), it doesn't really have anything to do with security, or insecurity, the way you're probably thinking about it. No one does it to cover up balding, because that's just retarded. It's a matter of realizing that worrying about balding makes you feel like shit, then deciding to get rid of your hair so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Eventually, it ends up giving you more confidence because you're not constantly worrying about your appearance in the same way you do when you're in OP's position and you're constantly thinking about how to make your hair look not shit.

Whether something is an expression of insecurity is entirely a matter of perspective, though (clearly, the way you're trying to phrase it). To me making a decision that "fuck it, I'm bald, I might as well not hide it" is definitely less insecure than taking pills and/or having plastic surgery to cover up something inevitable because it hurts your confidence. That's the most obvious example of insecurity I think of.

This guy is speaking the truth

[Anonymous No.13614989]

I just skimmed the thread but I wanna help a poor soul, so here's my experience.

>34
>on min/fin since 20
>no side effects at all. never had any
>hair status is okay. only minimal recession in the corners, crown is full and thick


Most valuable things I learned over the years:

Fin side effects are often reported by people who would have had those problems sooner or later anyway, and just blame it on the fin. In fact the worst ingredient of fin is the coloring agents they put in it, especially the blue coloring. Those are known carcinogens and they serve no purpose at all except, well... coloring the tablets. If you take Proscar, take a knife and scrape off the blue coating before cutting the tablets.

One of the major problems in hair loss that is 99% ignored by men is their oily, flaky scalp. You need to understand that your hair is just the product. It's your SCALP you need to take care of. You need to keep the scalp clean, regulate oil and prohibit excessive growth of thick skin. A lot of times the parts where hair grows the skin appears thin, pale and rigid in texture, whereas the balding parts are thickened, appear swollen/spongy with a leathery texture and produce excess oil. Keys are massaging, killing bacteria and funghi in the skin and keeping it clean so it can breathe.

Applying minox by simply dropping on skin is a waste. 90% of it evaporates or seeps in the upper layer of the skin and causes oily dandruf. It literally dissolves your scalp skin and works against you. Therefore you need to make sure it enters the deeper layers of skin where the follicles are located. Key = Dermarolling. I always roll lightly before applying minox, then massage it in with one finger. You'll notice immediately how the minox 'disappears' within seconds, because it goes right through the micro punctures. A lot of people will disagree on this, but this is my experience.

I know it's tough, but there are far worse conditions than losing your hair. Try to stay positive.

>Getting vitamins like Iron and B12 is super important for your hair though. Hair thinning can absolutely be caused by poor nutrition regardless of if you have MPB.

No. That's horseshit. That's a vitamin and hair "nourishing" marketing sell. Do you see people in starving 3rd world countries all being bald or with receding hairlines? Lol. By the time lack of nutrition starts to make your hair fall out, your internal organs and your whole body will already be failing at that point.

Not to mention the majority of posters here are from the West and are not suffering from lack of nutrition. Every hair loss thread on here is MPB.

Furthermore it's not even an exact science if vitamin products even work or are a gimmick.

>>13613085
You answer a few questions on the websites regarding your hair loss and an online doctor from the website completes the prescription and they are posted to you. So no, no actual prescription from a physical doctors office.

If fin makes you worry about getting hard when you need to leading to actual performance anxiety (in your head; not by fin) you can also order Viagra online the same way in the UK too!

>>13615351
I used to be insane and took huge needles to my scalp once a week, but nowadays I just use either 1mm or 1.5mm, depending on what I want to achieve. Honestly for weekdays I just use something that allows to 'roughen up' the scalp surface to let the minox seep in. On weekend I use something with a bit more force because I want to draw blood to activate the growth factors. Dermarollers are cheap and they last a long time if you treat them carefully and clean them after each use. Don't forget to use disinfectant spray too.

you probably have something other than traditional MPD. thats what is on the X-chromosome.
there are other factors that lead to baldness, MPD is just the biggest and most common

[Anonymous No.13621328]

I'll post what I did, hope it helps you fags.
I used to smoke and fap daily, smoked over 5 cigarettes a day and my hair was thinning at 22.
I decided to stop watching porn and fap only 1 time per week at saturdays and NEVER watched porn again, fapped using only my imagination and still do it today, only 1x/week, 7 years later.
Also quitted smoking on a daily basis, today I smoke very rarely but actually never quitted full time.
At the shower I started to scrub my hair very gently and slowly, the hair that was falling down reduced a lot.
My hair stayed the same as it was 7 years ago, the thinning marks stayed the same all over those years.
This is what I did, Placebo or not it worked and my balding was slowed down or it stopped (I'm 29 now with the same hair I had at 22).

[Anonymous No.13621341]

I feel like fapping might be the source of my hair loss. I never cared about my hair until I was 17, I was born with a 5 head/shit hairline so never paid attention to it. It might have always been like this but it almost looks like I have diffuse thinning? I’ve only noticed it in the past 4-6 months which correlates with me being in bed for 16 hours jerking it 2-3 times a day. Good chance that it’s natural and I’m trying to link a reason to justify it but it really feels like there could be something to it.

You are absolutely correct and the kind of balding you have is reversible. Stop jerking off. It's either that you ignore my warning and keep jerking off, or you might try not to touch your penis just for one week to see the difference. It's up to you.

I imagine it’s a sudden change and mix of stuff leading to it. i.e. going from working 30 hours a week, cycling every other day, masturbating maybe 1-2 times a week. To gaining 40lbs in 6 months, sleeping from 7am to 8pm, laying in bed for 80% of the time I’m up and jerking it twice a day. I feel like the start of this was the masturbation, it made me tired and drowsy all the time. I need to fucking stop soon or I might irreversibly fuck up the rest of my life.

>Do you see people in starving 3rd world countries all being bald or with receding hairlines?
Uh, yes? You literally fucking do. Not from MPB, obviously, but thinning hair is certainly common enough. How fucking sheltered are you?

Hair loss is a well-documented effect of chronic malnourishment and malnutrition. If it's not super obvious to you, it's probably because (along with the fact that you probably don't hang around with starving third worlders that often) inadequate nutrition tends to come with poor hygiene, limited access to healthcare, stress, shitty working conditions, the whole suite. And ALL of these take a toll on ALL of the body's systems.

Who do you think will probably look older, a middle-class American 40-year-old, or a laborer in West Africa who literally cannot afford enough to fucking eat? Of course starving third worlders aren't going to look just like you but with premature MPB, that's asinine. Poor health isn't just evident in the health of your hair but the condition of your skin, fingernails, teeth, eyes, lips ... when the body isn't taken care of for a long period of time, it shows in dozens of ways.

In the main you are right that taking a random supplement will not stop hair loss, even absent the question of whether multivitamins etc are effective, deficiency simply isn't that much of a problem in the west. If you're a western dude, it's not your diet, you're just going bald. But acting like inadequate nutrition has no significant effect on hair health is really stupid.

>any pro tips for applying minoxidil?
Not really, except the obvious. Your skin is the protection mechanism of your body to keep away outside contaminants, so naturally it will fight the minox from entering. Try to have an oil-free scalp to apply it (easier said than done) and like I said, just dermarolling gently to create micro incisions helps a lot. Definitely massage it in. Look at it this way: The worst thing you could possibly do is to just drop the liquid on the scalp and 'do nothing'. Anything over that is an improvement.

Guessing your mother's father is/was bald.
>Maternal grandfather has X*Y chromosomes, X* containing the balding gene
>Maternal grandmother has XX chromosomes, X being unaffected.
>Uncles get XY, unaffected
>Mother has XX*, carries the balding gene but the dominant unaffected gene is expressed over it
>Your mother gives you the X*, father gives you Y.
>You are X*Y
Balding is X-linked recessive, and so skips a generation. Works the same as colourblindness. Just a coincidence that your dad is bald too.

Give me a quick rundown on mpb vs loss from stress. I've been through a tonne of emotional and physical in the last 4 or 5 weeks, along with very limited sleep and terrible nutrition. I've noticed I'm get around 5 hairs when I run my hand through my hair and as someone who's always had thin hair and as far as I can remember, a bit of hair shedding daily I'm starting to worry a bit. Should I shower and brush my hair forward or take the pic wity hair dry?

Been on minox + fin for 4 months now, noticeably less hair falls out, people have been saying my hair looks thicker too.
Hairline seems to have improved very slightly.
Increased physical activity (gym, cycling), a better diet and the fact that I started to use better (natural) shampoos and conditioners probably made a difference as well.

No side effects so far, hope it stays this way.

I don't think I'm able to take fin, I had a testicle removed last year for cancer preventative reasons and I'm fairly sure that threw off my hormone or testosterone balance. Taking something with fairly radical side effects is probably the exact combo to make me have those side effects. Will be getting some Regaine soon tho, my hairline as a whole is fine. It's just the shit on the top.

This has to be shaved right? I think it looks horrible, but my parents think its barely noticeable.

I don't wanna spend $30 a month for the rest of my life on rogaine. Some people equate it to brushing your teeth. But if you don't do that your teeth fall out then you starve and die. If your hair falls out you save time and money.

I think that people from their generation just hate baldness for some reason, why else do you see older guys desperately clinging to that last ring of hair?

Is there a middle ground? Like do you think I could get away with anything other than a #0?
