>>713308145im just gonna bother answering you cause I recovered my hair from other anons endorsing fin+min across multiple boards
balding gene isn't just rng. It's linked to prostate problems and overproduction of testosterone. Around 10% of testosterone in your body gets turned to DHT, dht isn't harmful and helps you stay a man essentially. But if you produce too much testosterone then you also produce too much dht, which then affects the follicles in your hair much more than they can recover and that leads to balding hard at an early age instead of at 60 onwards. too much dht also leads to prostate problems.
Finasteride is used to treat prostate enlargement, caused by an enzyme, the same one that turns testosterone into dht. Fin has been around for years and inhibits the enzyme production, so eventually someone made the connection between the prostate, testosterone overproduction and too much dht in the system of young bald men. Finasteride for hair just regulates a bit of the enzyme, thats why it's at 1mg instead of the 5mg used for the treatment of prostate enlargement. Minoxidil only helps the follicle grow faster and stronger which is also why some women use it in their later years, but solely using minoxidil doesn't help most men. B12 is something your body already needs but it helps for keeping your hair well into the 60s/70s. Vitamin D is good all around and considering this is /v/ most of us don't go outside to get some sunlight.
the side effects of Fin only occur to 1% of men and it really is either reduced sex drive or ed in the absolute worst of cases of real cursed men.
If a man has his hairline mimic that of a 60 year old grandpa when they are 20 then the medicine is what's most likely to actually help. Personally I used it as a last resort before shaving cause I had the same believes as you, I only wished I used it sooner.
>t. anon that had Trevor from GTA5 hairline at 25 and now has hair back where it used to be at 27
