bald-and-bearded

This is a very niche topic (because topical fin is not FDA approved, very few people administer it and there is no standard product with a common vehicle which everyone uses), so I personally doubt even doctors would give you a definitive answer (you should still ask though if you can find an expert). In my humble opinion, maybe don't take it so as to not risk your children's health? Or at least wait until they are old enough that you don't physically interact with them as much? Obviously pills are better in this regard, but you must've taken the path of topical to avoid side effects for yourself. I don't see an easy way around this. Edit: nvm just read that you said you're going to try pills now.

Umar Sanusi has some impressive cases on his Youtube and website where he has used body hair primarily.

Crowd pulling questions: 1. Do they foresee the end of hair transplants as we know it? If younger people start arresting their hair loss at a young age with a medication that works and causes no side effects, fewer and fewer people are going to need hair transplants. 2. Will this get mass produced so that it helps millions across the globe over the next decade or so? Not a crowd pulling question: 3. Is it wise to use this for people who have had beard and body hair transplanted on their scalps? Isn't Finasteride known to not encourage the growth of beard and body hair?

This guy was worse and turned out fine with body hair (considering where he started): I think even William would look much better if he did a procedure like this. He doesn't have a head shape for "just shave it off bro" and right now has a horseshoe shaped hair style. But it might be frowned upon since he is a royal family member.

If keeping hair is the only goal, oral Fin is a tried and tested approach and probably works best. This proposal was for the goal of keeping hair, but not at the cost of systemic DHT inhibition. It's an imperfect approach, but issues with asymmetry can be mitigated by extending the period of the test. It was just an idea to consider for those who aren't currently doing anything due to the fear of adverse effects of DHT inhibition. So there is no question of "sacrificing potential results" for someone like that.

Here is a proposal: - Apply the topical product on one half or side (left or right) of your scalp for a period long enough to expect results (3-6 months). - Compare the two sides using photographs and videos taken before, during and after the said period. - If no growth or improvement in rate of miniaturisation on either side, the product does not work. - If comparable growth or improvement in rate of miniaturisation seen on both sides, the product was absorbed systemically. - If growth or improvement in rate of miniaturisation seen on the applied side and not the other side, the product was not absorbed systemically (or little). Thoughts?

These days even people with high degrees of hairloss are getting great results from hair transplants. BHT has become common. If your projected degree of hairloss is not bad, you can avoid taking a hormone changing drug for the rest of your life. As you yourself said, it's tough to tell if you get side effects over time because they can be real or nocebo - no way to tell them apart.

Acting is their job 😀 Their job is literally to pretend they are in fictitious situations. "Looking genuinely pissed" must be an easy thing for them.

99.9% of the people won't realise that it was staged and the act will be a resounding success. 🤑 The lengths people are willing to go to get some eyeballs is astounding. Edit : I bump that figure to 99.99% after reading this thread 😀

Before the last transplant, what was your hair fibers regimen like? Would you apply it in the morning and wash it off every evening? And have you considered getting an SMP for an illusion of density? Hair fibers definitely look more realistic but you can get "caught" without them if you know what I mean.

Amazing stuff. I remember there was another guy just like you if terms of hairloss but much younger who had started a thread on his Eugenix journey. I can't seem to find it. Can anyone please link?

I meant only in the mid scalp area (to add density and not solely rely on scalp hair). OP looks young, isn't on Fin and doesn't appear to have great donor hair already. The only place you can manage to put body and beard hair for density is in the mid scalp. That way, if you want to fill lateral humps later on, you will still have scalp hair. Using beard or body hair in the lateral humps would look bad.

In your case, it would be a waste to use scalp hair in the mid scalp area when you can use beard or body hair. Go to someone who can use as much of body and beard hair as possible. Dr Umar, Mwamba and Bisanga are known to use body hair extensively.

1) plans change, some people stop taking it later on. It is not a vitamin supplement but a hormonal drug. 2) it's not bullet proof, donor area can still deplete over time
