the only moment i stopped my hairloss was when i was doing min it stops my recession within 3 days that's insnae
I find it weird that oral min works worse than topical min when in reality they both should work the same. And many respond to oral better than topical min. If topical works why not just apply it once a day?

Which ages your face the most oral min or topical? I use 5mg oral min once a day. I wanna skip applying topicals. My hairline hasnt moved in many years I just got diffuse thinning.

Is your bro also on dutasteride or finasteride?
dutasteride but also not working fir him . we both started loosing hair at 21 we caught up right away at a Norwood 0.5 starting with finasteride but we both noticed it wasnt doing anything after a year so we switched to dutasteride still nothing and added min and it worked instantly just i stopped as it was messing up my face

Just catching up on your comments. There probably are a few mutants out there with high sulfotransferase in their scalps who may do better on topical than oral. The Welshman was one such case. However, it’s quite rare. Still I think you should get off dutasteride.

what do you guys think?Basically in the video he says that traditional blood tests for dht (dont know if its the same for t and e)
are not accurate.
Did adri did the test mentioned in the video or other more accurate?
