Rate My Norwood, Fellas. It's Over For Me.

His last post said that he got sides on finasteride. RIP genetically_cursed.

f*** me. Here was as a 30 year old NW2 preparing to start a thread and pics.

First few pages are poison.

Unfortunately he said he had sides. Treatments should be started at NW1.5, anything past that and you are already late.

@genetically_cursed I can tell you're a handsome guy even without seeing your eye area. You have that pretty boy phenotype, balding is gonna absolutely destroy your looks if it happens.
Anyway, look up Danny Roddy on Youtube and follow his protocol. I've been doing it and seeing regrowth at the temples.

 

[GreekGod_of_Aesthetics]

And what exactly is his protocol cos i watched a lot of videos of his and he seems really smart indeed bu i did not see any solution, at least from what i watched yet...

In principle, it's about getting to an optimal hormonal environment, defined by:

• peak thyroid function (TSH around 1)
• high testosterone, moderate DHT, high dopamine
• low cortisol, adrenaline, prolactin, serotonin

This can be achieved through diet, lifestyle and supplementation. Blood tests needed too to know what you need to improve.

Diet:

• he promots Ray Peat principles
• high carb (high fruits and sugars, but low in grains), moderate protein, low to moderate fat (only saturated fats)

Lifestyle

• minimize stress as much as possible in every possible way
• minimal cardio (too much) stressful on the body; walking / hiking is best
• weights lifting, but careful not to overtrain and not to suppress testosterone
• hair massages, ACV rinsing

Supplements: these vary on a personal basis, according to what everyone might need the most. I take the following:

• daily Aspirin
• thyroid hormone (endo prescribed)
• Vitamin D3, E, K2
• Magnesium Glycinate
• Zinc

My shedding has 95% ceased in the past 3-4 months, and lately been seeing baby hairs around the temples. So, I'm optimistic.

Diet and lifestyle definitely plays a huge part in male pattern baldness (or at least hair quality) and people don't want to hear it. I've been eating like sh*t during my summer vacation and my shedding increased a huge ton whereas it definitely became much less after starting finasteride in April. I'm going back now and hopefully things will change.

Clearly must be the food. There's no evidence for this claim apart from your anecdotes and if you wanna hear mine I have noticed that the people with the worst junkfood diets often have the best hair.

 

[disfiguredyoungman]

But not male pattern baldness or predisposition to it, so it has nothing to do with those people, we are talking here about people with male pattern baldness not by the hobos i also see everyday on the streets with full head of hairs!

Exactly, predisposition is everything, or at least so important compared to all other factors that they pale in comparison.

 

[INT]

Well that does not mean that if the hobo with a full head of hair is eating all the sh*t and still keeping it, that a male pattern baldness affected dude can eat the same sh*t without it impacting his hair or accelerating his loss... I saw a lot of studies and materials that suggest that nutrients don't go to the follicle of a male pattern baldness dude compared to one that does not have this... Maybe because of the clogged follicles, maybe who the f*** knows why but there is a lot of evidence if you search for it, that diet actually makes a difference even if not that much as other things do, i also experienced it on my skin, and even if it's anecdotal, for me it's enough...

Can you maybe link these studies?

 

[Capone]

Aspirin is a PGD2 inhibitor if I recall correctly. I heard some guys in the past saying it helped with their hairloss.

It helps my hair indeed. So what can I take/use to mimic the effects of it without the increased chance of bleeding?

 

[Capone]

Seti or fevipiprant.

With dermarolling.. could be decent. What’s the story with Fenugreek?

Take Vitamin K2 alongside.

 

[Capone]

Take Vitamin K2 alongside.

Along side?

Any update @genetically_cursed

Life doesn't forgive and doesn't forget.

Tried finasteride for a year, had absolutely zero improvements, still shed 30 hairs a day, got sides, hopped off of it, took nothing, kept balding, now I'm about to start rogaine foam.

Brutal how life fucks your over.
