work out, eat riht and you don't even need finasteride. your body will get women regardless.
Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

you can just get micro pigmenting anyways if you already shave your head to make it look like its full.

they have ones that last 5 years or are more permanent. The 5 year ones are so that as your natural hair whitens you can get it updated as it fades to grey/whiten it over time so it looks more normal.

Its prob harder to mess up basically doing a tattoo than a transplant and transplant needs fin to protect it anyways

cope

Women don’t care about body as long as you’re not fat or a twig. A small percentage of women will be attracted to mogmaxxed steroidmaxxed body. Otherwise it’s all about face, hair, and height.

Even when I had a NW-1 I'd still get a buzz cut, it's too much hassle otherwise. I grew out my hair once into a beautiful mane, but it was a pain in the ass for a minimal ROI. The reaper came for me and I just no guard buzz it now.

The only complaint I have is that my head gets cold in winter unless I wear a hat.

1. It is safe for most people but it has risks.

But walking out has risks as well.


2. The claim that it is over if you have enough donor hair at the back even if you do not take fin/duta

The gene is in the follicle and that gets taken as part of the transplant so doesn't matter.

Just lol at OP using ED as an side effect of fin. What happens when you're bald and can only bang 2's - your dong def won't work then either.

Also, fin increases your test levels, just decreases DHT...

Being NW1 and buzzing it ≠ bald. You still have the 3D shape a full head of hair gives you. It covers any weird head deformities or the egg look. Many dudes look good with shaved heads, but not many baldcels look good with a shaved head. You probably look like ass now if you’re above a NW3 and shave it. Micro scalp pigmentation doesn’t give the fullness real hair does, and is easily spottable 100% of the time

Sword is probably the only one here that looks good bald since he’s a dark brah.. but even black guys look better with hair, just they can generally pull off the bald look better

Finacels are frauding baldcels, passing on their ****ty genes.

If we really want to get rid of balding we need to ban finasteride and cull all baldcels

Give or take a few generations and everyone will have slick NW0 hairlines with max density

Shiet, shots fired at antifincels

I just can't accept taking Fin knowing it MIGHT fuk my libido/dink up as well as bug my mind out. It's the last thing I need.

All of this while I am slowly looking at my hairline receding on the sides year for year

Oh, you're one of those misc circumcision conspiracy theory crazies. I see now.

Also, your cited paragraph is essentially theorizing...

"may contribute"
"has been implicated"

You might want to look at studies of people actually taking the medications with objective, scientific analysis and conclusions. And as one of the previous posters said, fin/dut increases your test by 10-20%.

Also, not being circumsized is a health risk. And not aesthetically pleasing.

I agree that shaving it entirely would be a pain in the ass and look worse than a receding buzzcut.

Plus, I'm not saying I look better without hair, I'm saying it doesn't impact me to the point I want to get on fin. Idk what a NW3 is and I did recede, but I look fine with my current buzz cut and I can still pull normal LTC women.

I think it was 5% of fin users reporting libido/ED issues from the studies but it could be up to 10%, i dont remember for sure but the 10 year study is out there. If its already receding you should pull the trigger before its too late, I had 1 buddy who waited and now hes on fin wishing he took it 3 years sooner. Once you get to a bad state you will take it due to desperation but the damage will be done.

You can also stop taking it if you notice any sides too.

you don’t have enough transplantable hairs to cover the whole top of your head

If you’re unwilling to take fin, just LDAR and forget about having hair srs

Thing is, if it can grow back my sides, I will stay on it (if I dont get side effects)

If it simply just "keeps" the sides I have by now, I'll jump off

fin is a hell of a risk. if you are willing to do that, might as well jump on that tech too. Realistically, tech is safer than fin in the right doses.

If you're 25+ there is a greater chance of regrowth from fin alone. Likely though you may need rogaine foam 2x per day to actually regrow. I got lucky to get some regrowth from fin when i was 22/23 and then added foam a year later for more regrowth.

My friend hopped on it after noticing his hairline maturing (slightly less than me). Been almost a year now. He has not grown it back, but it seems like his mature hairline is locked for now. Honestly, a mature hairline isn't that bad if you have a manly face (it's death if you have a low test face).

I'm waiting a little bit more to see if I somehow can't manage to lock it. As soon as I notice it's just way too bad to have any type of hair style, I might hop on it and hope I regain like 5-10% of the hair.

Might be too late by then though. I tried Minoxidil and it honestly only helps to grow half vellus half terminal hair, and only along the hairline, doesnt really do anything other than that. Not worth it

I was doing 5 mg of fin a day for like 3 months srs. I thought you were supposed to take a full pill a day and doc gave me 5 mg pills. My jizz was super watery but I was still smashing lots of sloots after I realized I was taking way too much I went back down to about 1 mg a day been taking for 4 years now and dick still works like a champ.
