Let's do a group trip to Turkey!

Following this one..I am in. I got one shot left to do it and then if not will have to embrace the baldness
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.

Whenever I think about fin I remember this article

I often think to myself, what would Dwayne The Rock Johnson do? And then be proud of my bald head. It’s a sign of increased testosterone
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.
I just shaved my head when it started. Easy peasy
Oh, I use clippers once a week to take it back down to the skin so I’m always a little fuzzy. Actually shaving is a nightmare, I did it for a while and stopped.

This. Let it go then get it fixed while on vacation in Brazil / SoKo / Turkey
Anyone look into PRP injections? I know a person who did it and has had good results so far.
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.
Use it as an excuse to get on TRT, embrace baldness, grow a beard and get swole.

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.
