@Men, my hair is starting to go! Has anyone here tried finasteride & minoxidil for hair loss? What has your experience been like? Does it work? Any side effects?

I’d get on fin.. min works but you’re on it forever because your hair will become dependent. Basically, the long and short of the hair loss game is to tough it out on treatments then eventually save for a decent transplant if it continues to go. Look to Turkey when that time comes... best of luck.

Lol this was clearly written by a hairo (what we call men with head hair). They even admit ‘It is true that balding is dependent on testosterone.’

F here, it works but you need to keep using it. The efficacy also depends on the stage of your hair loss.

Go for 1 mg finasteride. Would not recommend minoxidil, unless you have high stress, if you do, go for 5% version, but long term won't solve anything.

I’m definitely looking for hair loss prevention than anything else right now, I still have a pretty decent head of hair. I was just leaning my head on my hand the other day and it was pulling my hairline back and I definitely noticed it’s beginning to go, so I want to stop it!!

Maybe try consulting with a dermatologist. I’m on derm TikTok a lot and I see recommendations to use rosemary oil as it helps with hair growth. Good luck!

I’m in the same boat that I feel like it’s starting to recede a bit but still pretty full right now. I know it’ll go at some point so want to be preventative. Thinking I’ll start low dose Finasteride soon

I’ve been on min for a few years and now going to start with topical min+fin. You can buy this from Hims. I think min has worked pretty well to maintain but I never got any regrowth so want to do something stronger and make sure I don’t get worse. If it gets too bad I will probably get an HT eventually

Get on minoxidil fast, don’t waste another minute. I have female hair loss and have been using it daily for over 20 years. Full head of hair still.

If your hairline is receding you will need finasteride. Nothing besides a transplant can regrow your hairline. But if it’s thinning/balding in the back minoxidil can work to help regrow.

Been seeing this guy for 1 year now. I just became an American citizen so have been getting more into politics. I lean left but the guy I’m seeing leans more conservative. He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?

But dog hype and what dog owners get away with in terms of occupying human spaces, jumping on strangers with dirty paws, going to a friends house and having the dogs harass you for food, and obsession on the dating apps is next level obnoxious.

Dogs can be great, not a hater. But if you can’t control your dog you’re a massive piece of shit for imposing that on everyone else.
