Are you bald? Are you baylife?

 

[Diffuser44]

My temples are gone, but I am certainly not Bald. And no I am not baylife... just an average guy sharing my experiences. My only motive is to help people uncomplicate their lives.

K. This is a hairloss site for people who want to keep their hair. You're on here telling people to not take any of the three things in the world that actually help people keep their hair. Some people would like to try and keep their hair. Once it's gone it is gone for good.
Baldrus.com is a great pro bald site if you want to make contributions there.

Yeah, Baylife again...

If you look in the success sub-forum you will find many people, myself included who have far more hair after taking propecia and minoxidil than they did before treatment, people who inarguably and undeniably regrew and thickened hair and look better than they did pre finasteride/minoxidil. Many (most) of us have experienced no side effects at all. We are aware that some people do experience side effects though, and the obvious advice is to quit either medication of side effects manifest themselves, unless the benefits far outweigh the side effects (e.g. great hair regrowth vs watery semen).

Well thats good to hear, but are you yourself? what you were? can you confidently say that you can go camp in humid temperatures? OR are unconcerned when someone plays with your hair? Its not just about the hair, its about the image of yourself you are putting up to the world.

I'm pretty sure the majority of the people here think it's about results. I'm sorry none of the mainstream meds worked for you, but sides are typically uncommon and there's only a positive effect on your hair. Seriously, like GoldenMane said you need to check out the success stories forum. Countless examples of the effectiveness of both finasteride and minoxidil

I'm happy your hot topical treatment is helping you though. Do you have any before/after pictures? If you're using an alternative and natural treatment that's working for you then proof of it would be a great contribution to the forum.

Take a break? Of course not!

I've been on finasteride for 8 months, it would be ridiculous to stop now, let my hair go to crap, lose my confidence and looks and potentially never be able to get it back to what it is now!

And yes I can safely say that I am the same person and that my life has not been affected. If I went camping I would simply bring my finasteride and minoxidil with me, I don't care who knows, it's no secret.

Obviously if you were on minoxidil for 8 years you benefitted from it, maintained hair, and the fact that you stayed on it so long shows that you must have weighed up your options and found the benefits of minoxidil o be worth it. You had 8 extra years of hair, why would you begrudge other men the same?

 

[GoldenMane]

Well obviously...

 

[Notcoolanymore]

Just judging you by your posts, you seem like a pretty intelligent guy. Surely you could do a better job concealing your identity. Change up the message a little. The whole "you'll be better off not treating your hair loss" message on a hair loss forum is a dead give away. And New Delhi, India...yeah No!

 

[GoldenMane]

Well firstly thanks... and secondly you totally lost me about the identity thing. I am not saying to not treat your hair loss.. just saying there are ways to save your hair based on natural hair oils and lifestyle changes. Finally I am from delhi dude, Indian chap here..

lol, good luck with your snake oils! I'll stick to a medication that actually works!

The name of the game is prevention, once it's gone, it's almost impossible o get it back, why would anyone gamble their hair on natural oils with no proven hair loss prevention properties and diet (has nothing to do with hair loss), when they can use a proven medication? The longer you spend on unproven and ineffective treatments, the more ground you lose, and the less hair you have to prevent from falling when you do eventually end up on finasteride. And I know this is baylife, i'm saying this for the benefit of anyone else who he may dissuade from trying clinically proven medications

 

[GoldenMane]

I haven't got time to experiment and "expand my mind" hair loss is a race against time, the earlier you start on effective treatments, the more hair you save. I could spend years experimenting with diet and oils, but if they don't work then i lose ground and there will be less hair left to save.

 

[TheHandsomeLurker]

I am not begrudging other men.. I am just saying you maybe missing out on what life has to offer. Also if in those 8 years I had followed my current regimen, am sure I would still have had atleast what I had at 21... i.e. Norwood 1

So your argument is that you're "sure" what your saying is true, therefore it's true?

 

[GoldenMane]

No, his argument is that you should spend months or years trying alternaitve treatments for hair loss, all the while chances are you'll lose ground that only a hair transplant will recover, rather than try a scientifically proven medication that works for most people, and most likely save your current hair at the very least.

 

[GoldenMane]

You're right doctors don't know half of what they prescribe, but hair loss is genetic, DHT causes it, that's a fact, and living like a monk will not reduced your DHT levels or follicle sensitivity enough to ever save your hair. DHT won't prevent follicle sensitivity, but it will reduce DHT, that is a fact, and it works for most men, that too is a fact. Monks have gone bald for thousands of years, hair loss is genetic and hormonal, your diet will not change that. You present no evidence, whereas finasteride studies and users here have plenty of evidence. Feel free to present some hard evidence, because we have no reason to believe a single word you say, you have nothing to back it up.

 

[SayifDoit]

The way I cured my hair loss was by saying no!
NO TO HAIR LOSS.NO TO HAIR LOSS. NO TO HAIR LOSS. NO TO HAIR LOSS.
I repeat that hundred times and after that I start insulting my genitals and say "You are bad, bad, bad!" "You gonna cry? You make me sick!"
I also repeat that several hundred times,followed my meditation and balancing on my head for several hours.
This take ups about 3/4 of my day, I then proceed to drink grass water and lick the walls of my house.

I've been doing this regimen for 7 years, was a nw7 now a nw1.
Honestly I might stop, I have too much hair.....
Control the testosterone, seek enlightenment. It is the key.

Diabetic? **** insulin, what you need are some of them oils and a monks lifestyle!
