I've always masterbated since i was 16, now i'm 18 with Norwood 2 or maybe 3........


but I stopped masterbating for a week, and shedding decreased by like 50 hairs. I'm serious, does it have anything to do with it?


TY,

and can someone brave stop fapping and post here in a week or 2 weeks to tell me if their shedding decreased?

no.

Shedding doesn't decrease in 1 week. Shedding is triggered weeks in advance

Shedding also doesn't occur at a constant rate. It varies for no particular reason that is controllable

Okay, you've got it backwards : during puberty, testosterone levels increase dramatically, part of this testosterone is converted into DHT.
The need to masturbate is triggered partly by DHT (though it does not mean low DHT causes the absence of sex drive), DHT is responsible for progressive miniaturization of sensitive hair follicles.
If you have high DHT and your hair is sensitive to it, you'll lose it, and you'll likely need to mastubate a lot, but there is no real link between these two things, except they're partly caused by the same hormone. People who have low DHT can lose their hair too because it's more sensitive to it, and there can be other factors too.

After a week without masturbation, studies show there is a peak of testosterone levels (145 %), which may cause an increase in DHT (or not, excessive T doesn't necessarily mean excessive DHT, if the same amount of T converts to DHT, DHT levels will be normal).
There is no scientific proof that masturbation causes hair loss.

massa'al hir ya mohammed,

I am myself abstaining for more than month , but I doubt that it would have caused you to go NW3 just in two years, I did it for 3 -4 years before stopping and it didn't do more than a (mildly ?) thinning NW1.

however I confirm about the decreased shedding , this is something real that lots of us have experienced.

it's not just ejaculation , it's sex arousal in general.


vlatch has it right for DHT.

you can both have high levels of DHT and not lose your hair , or have very low DHT and lose them.
