i am 20. been experiencing gradual temple and (i think, slight top hairloss) for the past 2yrs. everytime i look in the mirror i worry to f***, i used to have amazing, thick hair and girls loved it. so when i realised it was going i was really gutted.

i have debated about finasteride for a year and now made the decision to no ever think about it again, i wont use it. i am very happy for all the people it has helped on here but i PERSONALY believe its not good for me, and i dont want my body messed with in such a strong manner.

i am going to use saw palametto (orally and sprinkle it into emu oil,) nizoral 2%, t-gel, tricomin, folligen and minoxidil (just on the temple areas.) i dont expect MAJOR results but even if it helps slightly i will be happy.

at the end of the day guys, hairloss is wank (fact) but it MUST NOT take over our lives! there are far worse things happening in the world, and it is important to put hairloss into persepective (how cliche!)

all i can say is stay fit and strong, look after your skin, make an effort with clothing, wear a smile on your face, concentrate on being a good laugh and DO NOT let on to any girl in your life that your worried about your hairloss!! couple this with a high income and a sense of family and there should be no problem with getting the ladies!

this is merely my opinion, but i hope that some people out there take heed from this and hold their heads high.

i would be happy to hear if anybody has any suggestions/advice about my hair regime too please.

take it easy!

I think you can add some topical anti-androgen to your regime. And I agree with your viewpoint. We should make more effort under the scalp than over it. But in my opinion now, I want to recruit follicles as much as I can with combining proven treatments. I hope everyone here will have a great result. Even though the result maybe not reach our desire, we have done something at least.
Good luck!

Just wait till you get 'proper' , Norwood 3 style hairloss. Then you can comment on how easy it is to overcome.

You'd probably feel like an arse if he had it worse. Regardless of their Norwood, some people do overcome their hairloss you know random.

This is kinda how I feel now. I am 26 and really don't care about hairloss as much as I used to. I'm not saying that I am not using treatments, but I simply try not to dwell on it as much. There is much more to life. Get your self on a decent treatment and move on with your life. If you want to use an anti-androgen use spironolactone or fluridil. I would not recommend revivogen.

you are ignorant. what makes you think that saw palmetto does not have side effects.
It is more dangerous than finasteride. The side effects with finasteride are for very few people.
It is ok to say you don't care for finasteride. But to use saw palmetto is stupid.
sorry to say this.

You should definitely give finasteride a try. Keep in mind the posts on this site are from people who've had the worst side effects, and it's usually only a mild shed or temporary loss in libido. It didn't work for me--nor did it cause any crazy side effects and I'm glad I tried it. I suggest you do yourself a favor and try it, too. Then at least you'll know if it would have worked for you.

If saw palmetto reduces serum DHT levels like finasteride it will have a range of side effects similar to finasteride.

If saw palmetto does not reduce serum DHT levels it will not have side effects like finasteride, nor will it show any of the benefits.

Take your pick.

Unfortunately you cannot cherry pick the benefits of DHT reduction without also having the side effects, indeed hair growth itself is a possible side effect for those using finasteride for an enlarged prostate, whilst prostate size modulation is a side effect for those using finasteride for hair growth.

Natural remedies are not necessarily safer or better.

Tabacco is a naturally occurring plant, synthesized ascorbic acid is not, one will do you immeasurable damage in the long term, one will be of great benefit to you.

PS saw palmetto reduces DHT almost entirely in the prostate and has no effect of scalp DHT levels.
