Hi guys, i have tried natural methods over the past year of which none helped.
I have ordered finasteride and essegen 6 liquid but im not sure which one to use as i am shitting it about the side effects of Propecia (If i do take it ill take 0.5mg) and ive read some bad stories about essegen 6 liquid
Im only receding at temples and i still have quite a lot of it and want to keep it that way before its too late.

Can some hair loss guru give me some advice on this stressful matter?
Thank you

finastride and nizoral not enough? I only wish to maintain my hair not even to regrow the temples

finasteride to maintain the temples. Maybe once a week nizoral. Than in the future you can do FUE transplant on temples. Thats the only way to regrow hair there.

right so would taking 0.5mg daily be okay? or even a smaller dosage?
Besides what are your opinions or the essengen 6 liquid?

The standard dose of Propecia is 1 mg per day. According to Dr. William Rassman cutting the dosage in half to .5 milligrams per day will deliver about 80% of the benefit, compared to the standard dose. 1/4 dose of finasteride will be roughly 50% as effective as the normal 1 mg pill.

Don't know anything about essengen 6 liquid. The only thing I'm taking right now is Biotin and multivitamin for men.

I also have slowly receded temples and I'm on the edge of jumping on Finasteride. Still not quiet ready yet.

I'm planning a 1/4 dose. I assume you are 21. If you HAVE thinned (not imagining it), you probably have aggressive hair loss. It is up to you. You can always start with 1/4 dose and move up. Take it 3 months and then decide. I also am taking a saw palmetto supplement which supposedly blocks dht naturally. I also use nizoral every day although some say it is too much.

You might also want to think about dermarolling. I'm going to start a regimen of twice a week.

Out of curiosity, what natural methods did you try?

my hair has not thinned at all and i reckon if i jump on finestride i can save it (as mentioned before im scared of the side effects that is why i want to take smallest dosage possible), just the f*****g temples, you wouldnt be able to tell unless i uncovered it. I Tried saw palmetto for good 5 months consistently, no results. Also castor oil, rosemary oil and other sh*t, but i did not use these consistently, might work for some but not for me. I am currently taking vitamin D, zinc and VItamin E, along with Hair loss Revolution Elixir and Shampoo. I legit lose like 5 hairs a day (thats how many i notice), but i dont really shed that much anyway.

The reason why im mentioning essengen 6 is because its a topical consisting of 0.5mg of finastride and 6% minoxidil, which by applying topically can POTENTIALLY reduce the POTENTIAL side effects, but ive also heard minoxidil can mess up things a little.

my hair is pretty much the same, just the f*****g temples, you wouldnt be able to tell unless i uncovered it. I Tried saw palmetto for good 5 months consistently, no results.

I don't shed at all either which is what blindsided me when I noticed thinning. Good news is you caught it young. I'd be optimistic in your situation. Are you sure it is definitely happening? If it makes you feel better, there is quite a bit of evidence suggesting the side effects of finasteride are exaggerated.

Updated my previous post...





Lol Nah not really that is why ive got an appointment booked with a trichologist (DOctor who specialises in hair follicles) to let me know what is happening. THe reason why im so unsure about my hair loss is due to my big boi forehead and my fucked up hairline, basically i NEVER had a straight hairline, as in its always been Kinda V Shaped, thats why i grew it out, i got told i look bald by my class mate at the age of 15 lol. But even though ive not had the straight hairline, ive seen some miniaturised hairs fall out and and this is deffo a warning.
Went to see a doctor today and he said that there is nothing they can do. He also said that fina will ''knock out my testicles'' and its used for elderly men, she didnt seem very imformed about it, lol she didnt even know what a trichologist was. Anyway i walked out v sad didnt know what to do (ps ive ordered fina online lol), 2 hours later she called me and told me to come in for a blood test stating that they will try to help me, which im guessing she changed her mind about fina as she had to speak to a senior doctor lol.


sorry about the mistakes, cant be bothered to correct them

This guy is what you should aim for. Also, did you notice any I'll effects from the saw palmetto? I just started taking it.
Nah saw pamletto did nothing besides making me gagg when taking it :(, in terms of ill effects nothing either, still was able to get it up whenever i damn wish, never had morning wood until recently when i started hitting the gym which im guessing is good

Well, I think in either case, your outcome will be good. I too am in the same boat as you. I'm almost positive it has thinned, but not quite 100% sure. I had the thickest hair possible until 33 or so. Losing it would be a downer. Also, there is so much conflicting advice, it is extremely confusing

Honestly this sh*t has been tormenting me for ages, i just wanna jump on fina but im just gonna wait for what the doctors say. Had blood tests taken about a year ago and my testosterone was in a normal range, but slightly above average.

Also i know that since testosterone is not COnverted into DHT, it is naturally converted into eastrogen and prolacting which are stress hormones, obv they are not good for you in excess levels, therfore i might start taking ashchwaganda and do some eastrogen lowering activities ( if there are any).

I think you're over stressing. If your testosterone is slightly above normal that isnt something to freak out about. I thought that part of testosterone did convert to dht.
