With the increase in Testosterone is the increase in DHT. After your steroid cycle, your testosterone levels actually plummet to well below what they were originally (for a short time). So does the DHT. You should only really experience extra hairloss during cycle, and even that can be countered...

I've got a receeding hairline, dunno what on Norwood. Still fairly thick apart from that (but not as thick as it used to be!). I've been using finasteride (Proscar / 4) for about 3 or 4 months now, and Minoxidil 5% for a couple of weeks. I let my hair grow a bit (is usually shaved) to see...

Chop your balls off. This is scientificly proven (no sh*t) to stop baldness as well. Seriously though, why would you want to? The finasteride is capable of countering way more DHT than what is produced by the slight increase in testosterone from using it! And testosterone is good for you.

Of course it's linked! Testosterone (DHT mainly) has a strong influence on both. I really doubt it's got much to do with insulin though!!! By inhibiting the formation of DHT, Finasteride counteracts baldness as well as body hair growth, all though the latter is most often referred to as a...

I read somewhere that testosterone is increased by around 15% in finasteride users as the body searches for equilibrium. But that extra DHT is still blocked by the finasteride. So it would make sense to taper your dosage down over a few weeks. Start taking your usual does EOD for a week or two, then E3D...

I don't think so mate. Bodybuilders use huge amounts of anabolic steroids (the main form of which is just synthetic, injectible testosterone) and they take finasteride to counter the DHT buildup which would lead to much increased hairloss while they are juicing. They also, needless to say eat...

I would not do that, no way. It's well known that waxing hair on other parts of the body gradually leads to thinner and less hair growing back. Waxing little baby hairs that have just sprouted sounds like a bad idea to me!

Bump. I'm interested to hear peoples experiences about this too...

Shave it mate. You'll never look back.

If I had a dollar for every person that looked at my shaved scalp and said, "Yeah I'd do that too, but it wouldn't suite my head shape", then I'd be a rich, rich man. :) Hell when I shaved mine I had people saying, "Don't do it! You still have plenty of hair! Your head is the wrong shape!"...

It sounds like your body has upped your testosterone output because of the reduction in DHT. I read somewhere that it happens worse for some guys. On average you expereince a 15% increase in testosterone output on Procepia due to your body trying to find equilibrium for the DHT that is being...

What the...? Seriously mate, it doesn't look like your balding to me in the slightest. Maybe they're just funny photos but farkin hell. They'd have to be pretty funny. When i read your first post the bit about "ridicule" I thought to myself, "yup, been through that". With everyone telling...

Wow thanks guys. You're making me feel pretty optimistic about all this. I hope your predictions are right. I can't notice any real difference at all, but I guess looking at those photos it looks like it might have been thinner in the first one. Hard to tell because it's so short. Kramer3...

Hmmmm. I'd like to see where your source your statistics from, unless it's pure speculation on your behalf. I can't imagine that monks would have any greater hair loss than anyone else. But as a sidepoint, I once read that more fat man are bald than skinny men. Whether this is because being...

Hey cool. I hope your right, that would be great. :)
