Do you have hair loss from Gear?

[JMan2010]

OK so I actually took the time to read the sticky post about Newbie Information and I saw the article about hair loss. I'm 30 with a full head of hair and both sides of my hair all have their hair, is this something I need to consider if I continue to use gear. My plan is to maybe do a cycle once a year, but the whole hair loss...hummm not so cool.

My question, you use gear, did you loss your hair?

 

[scotimusprime]

yes im losing more hair all the time now that im on aas.

fuck it. i was losing years ago with no gear

if you arent prone to MPB (full head of hair at 30 yo) you SHOULD be fine.

thats what i heard, just the aas speeds up that process if it's in your gene , just wondering from the readers

My dad is bald, both grandfathers were bald, my uncles are bald, my 3 younger brothers are thinning fast. None have ever touched steroids. I've been cycling for 8+ years (without using stuff like fina etc) and I have a full head of hair. Just depends on the person

there are tons of threads on this bro. search for it and you will find lots of good info

AAS won't cause it but will speed up the process. Most people who aren't prone to MPB and do shed on cycle typically gain it back. If you are prone then it will speed the process. MPB is genetically passed by the mother so your best evaluation is the men on her side of the family. If you are prone stay away from DHT derived compounds like masteron.

but dont totally believe that MPB genetically passed on by mother crap. all men on my moms side have hair still at 70+ yo but im loosing mine hard just like my dad and his dad

From personal experience. I'm just like you 30years old and have very thick hair always have. I have noticed WHILE on cycle a pattern of more hair loss than off cycle. However, it usually is nothing to worry about. Just make sure your PCT is correct and that you follow the time on ='s time off rule.

..and then they re me..on..my hair and fingernails grow at an alrming..ALL over..but then I m 46 and feeble.

I'm prone to hair loss. I will have to get something like finasteride or dutasteride to help.

 

[UserAt204]

Scott that is interesting because as far as I knew, that was the only way the gene was passed, which still could be the case, but I hear ya shit can happen no matter what the rest of the family is like. Do you use any finastteridr or dutast, what type of results?

 

[scotimusprime]

ya bro im not saying youre full of shit or anything like that, im just saying not to believe the hype about if your moms dad has hair, youll be gtg.

i dunno, maybe i got shoved in a microwave for a while when i was little and now its falling out? could be the case.

but ya i use 1.25mg of finesteride daily w/ nizoral shampoo a couple times a week and i would have to say it has really slowed down. the finesteride seems to be killing my sex drive, but im married so its all good.

 

[UserAt204]

No I hear ya. I'm using dutasteride and minoxidil. And that's how I feel, it has slowed if not stopped it but that's about it so far

 

[scotimusprime]

i couldnt stand using rogaine every day so i just quit it. couple years itll be BIC time anyway. but i do believe ive held on to my hair longer than i would have with the finesteride, especially now that i do AAS.

 

[UserAt204]

Yeah it definitely works but the bic is inevitable. I read somewhere about some new ways that were working to keep your hair but they seemed to be useful more during transplants and I'm not down for that. And with the minoxidil I only use at night cause that shits a little greasy

I was shedding like crazy till I found 5% spironolactone.

 

[UserAt204]

How often do you use spiro. ED I'm guessing?

 

[rockets]

with test and propecia, i saw none

on some of the orals ive run, ive seen significant hairloss
