Jo - I had a question for you, what length at the top do you find provides the best coverage of you hair. Do you find it best at leaving the top a certain length like 3 inches or more? I've heard keeping it too long longer than 3 inches for a person thinning provides less concealing as opposed to just at 3 inches to provide a better overlay effect.

What are your thoughts and experience regarding that?

An interesting study I found at the link below. I am kind of hesitant now to continue working out in case I end up losing more hair. Anyone here working out but are on Rogaine or Propecia and have not lost more hair or have lost more hair since working out.

It'd be nice to hear what others have experienced through weightlifting vs cardio in terms of hair loss being accelerated on someone already losing hair.

Sugarhighs, this is what i've read and have kind of noticed in the last year where once I have started lifting weights regularly my crown got noticeablly thinner compared to the rate it was thinning before. It was much less noticeable in the past years even though i have been losing hair for more than 5 years now.

Did you try Finesteride?

I wonder if aerobic type exercise such as running would also speed up hair loss.

I'm just a bit confused on this. I understand that Testosterone converts into DHT and so if i am already balding because this conversion is happening in my body and if i work out where working out increases testosterone won't it be that there will be more testosterone which will be converted to DHT?

Would finesteride help in such a case or should i stop lifting weights and take finesteride but if i work out then no point in finesteride since there will be too much conversion happening for finesteride to control?

Has anyone heard that if a person is already losing hair, weighlifting or other exercise only speeds up the loss because of the increase in testestorone?

Do you think Finesteride would be of any benefit or the working out will increase more testorone than Finesteride can reverse in terms of DHT?
