This is going to sound crazy but I seriously, 100% believe that I have temporarily managed to stop my hereditary male pattern baldness. I believe that I have achieved not by design, but by accident, as a result of changing my hormonal balance via body re-composition.
In 2016, my hairline had just begun receding, at the time I was unaware of this, but at the same time I decided to get into shape because I looked like sh*t. My face was very bloated and my bodyfat percentage was around 15% and I had no muscles, I was a skinny-fat guy at 23 years old. I started by putting on a lot of muscles for an entire year, I went really hard and made some pretty crazy gains, this spiked my testosterone and funny enough I upon my 2nd year of transformation, my baldness had started to accelerate much faster than what my brother experienced at my age. I went from norwood 1 to 2.5 in a very short time.
I started going insane, trying to find treatment online, looked up all research on dht and medication, but eventually decided it was not worth it and I was just instead going to be a bald guy with an nice body (as i expected to loose my hair like within 2 years based on the tempo of the hairloss). at this point I had already put on a bunch of muscle and was relatively lean apprx. 10% body fat. But then I had a change of thought, I decided i wanted to get more slim instead of bigger, this was impossible before I started working out as my body at the time couldnt sustain such low BF as i had no muscle and was already thin and weak. I switch direction and started cutting calories very drastically, I quite carbs entirely, lost about 6kg within 2 weeks went down to 7% bf that messed up my leptin levels and I regained the weight within 4 days. did it again after 3 weeks, but failed again. Now, I am cutting my third time, but with carbs and doing it slower this time. I have now managed to stabilize my weight at 7% bf, and ever since I have started a month ago, my hair loss has completely stopped. I believe that my heavy dieting has negatively affecting my hormonal balance, my testosterone has gone done drastically, and I believe it will stay down while i'm at this extreme level of bf%. i will report if it changes. I have even stopped worrying about my hairloss at the moment.
