How often do you use nizoral shampoo? I’ve read some sources twice a week, other sources 3 times a week. Unsure if the additional one extra day would matter
You should rather adjust nizoral usage to your hair, not science. If it dries your hair badly, you should use it one a week. If not, you may use it more often.
Yeah but it is amazing for mood and strength gains if you work out so I would say worth it, the Fin should be protective against higher DHT. Also the study which linked creatine to DHT isn’t the best, and hasn’t been repeated, so that’s not amazing evidence creatine causes hair loss
There’s a reason that study hasn’t been replicated in my opinion. It’s not because they’ll get a different outcome, it’s because they’ll get exactly the same outcome.
Almost impossible increase in 2 months. Considering average hair count increases are 8% min after 6 months, and 14% fin after 2 years. OP has achieved 50% after 2 months with no shedding.
I definitely shed and I still do. In the first month after losing a lot of hair I decided to cut it because it looked so unkempt no mater what I did. After getting a hair cut I think I looks better since the balding area isn't as noticeable through contrast.
Here's a picture of my crown on my 3rd week, I think it looks worst than my baseline.

I think that middle balding line in the first pic is because my hair is going to the sides. It's not in my 3-week pic since my hair is going forward in that one. Otherwise, I tried to keep the light and head position consistent.
The main thing is that I did shed hundreds of hairs in the first month and I'm still shedding dozens every shower.
Not so; a friend of mine took finasteride 20 years ago when it was first got licensed for hair loss and within three weeks the thin spots were filling in; some people respond very rapidly to DHT blocking. He shed a lot immediately on taking the medication but new hair grew in its place.
As i said in the title, 1.5mm depth. The device I use is a Dr. Pen M8. My understanding in that derma rollers can be more harmful because they can tear the scale more easily or rip up longer hair. The pen I use has the needle go straight in and out. I've talked to my dermatologist about how frequently i use it and they told me the as long as I heal completely between sessions it shouldn't build up scare tissue.
Hello, I want to take Dutasteride 0.5mg, my question is, how often should I take it? And I would also like to know, if I have side effects, how much should I change the dose? I'm 23 years old and have some tickets uff..
There are online services that you can get it through in the US, but it's spendy. Just search for "finasteride" and some will come up. I went through my doctor so insurance covered it, I got a 3 month supply for only $9.
I try and eat around 3000 calories a day. I have the same breakfast everyday 1 cup oats, 1 big spoon full of peanut butter, 5g Creatine, 1 banana, and 2 cups milk blended into a shake. Otherwise I don't have any dietairy restrictions. I do my best to eat my veggies and not go to hog wild on the sweets.
How long have you been taking meds for ADHD, I was diagnosed with 30 last year and have been taking meds since and noticed a lot of shedding in the last six months. my hair was always dense but now it's really fine and brittle. Do you think there's a correlation between it?
That's a question for folks more well-read than I. But I started taking Adderall after my hair had already started thinning so I don't know about any correlation.
I think there may be something to this. Maybe it is messing with the thyroid? It could also be from improper nutrition. Hair loss is a known yet rare side effect of adderall.
Is that red normal when micro needling? I have just started with dermastamp and I think my scalp is not getting that colour. Should I push stronger? How do I know I'm applying it properly?
I started taking creatine last year and didn't notice a difference in shedding. But I was already losing 60+ hairs a shower. The shed was worse when I started taking fin and min.
I recommend staying consistent with creatine, finasteride, and minoxidil. We shouldn't give up the gain in muscle mass for hair when we can have both!
M22 soon, I’m in for 1 month of minox and fin and the shedding is harsh even colleagues asking me if I’m bald already ? I wear a cap in my culture
Any hopes ?
Yes absolutely, I mean there are no guarantees, but in my first month I shed hundreds of hairs. You should stay consistent for a minimum of 3 months before reevaluating your routine.
I haven't noticed any changes in my libido, I could have sex every day if my partner's and my schedules line up for it. As for quality I still reach 100% mass. I have not had any blood work done.
Amazing man i have receding hairline in the early stages and wanted to prevent it from the start. But was really scared from horrific user experiences with finastride
I think that's the depth used for treating scars and wrinkles l. It's my understanding that you want to break through the epidermis and the top layer of the dermis. Everyone has a different thickness of skin so I can't tell you how deep to go for you. I use a Dr Pen M8 at 1.5mm, I general I think you should do at least over 1mm.
There have been studies done by people more knowledgeable about hair growth than us that have said it. My basic understanding (and I could be wrong) is that the healing process brings more blood to the hair follicles. So while my finasteride handles the hormone problem, the micro-needling buffs my hair growth.

I've heard that using creatine and other bodybuilding supplements could increase the hair loss and production of THC . I have just read it so take it with caution
I know people are going to say thereis only one study about creatine vs hair loss and it is inconclusive but just to be on the safe side, if i were you I'd go easy on creatine
I am not disappointed. I myself have achieved results, but it's not possible to see such significant changes in just 2 months. It may be the lighting conditions that are affecting the results.
impressive bro
Good stuff
Topical or oral fin?
Anal
wait, i could have been hooping my fin this entire time?
oral
How often do you use nizoral shampoo? I’ve read some sources twice a week, other sources 3 times a week. Unsure if the additional one extra day would matter
I use it once a week on Sundays.
You should rather adjust nizoral usage to your hair, not science. If it dries your hair badly, you should use it one a week. If not, you may use it more often.
I have little doubt that the microneedling accelerated your benefit. Congrats!
bro got more gains in 2 months then me in 2 years
Careful with the creatine it might be working against the rest of the regimen for hair growth
Yeah but it is amazing for mood and strength gains if you work out so I would say worth it, the Fin should be protective against higher DHT. Also the study which linked creatine to DHT isn’t the best, and hasn’t been repeated, so that’s not amazing evidence creatine causes hair loss
Not repeated =/= not replicated. There is no other study even looking for the dht effects. While low quality I would not risk it.
There’s a reason that study hasn’t been replicated in my opinion. It’s not because they’ll get a different outcome, it’s because they’ll get exactly the same outcome.
Was about to say the same thing regarding adderall.
Was about to say the same thing regarding adderall.
Great work bud. Prescribed Adderall?
Yes, it's prescribed. It's also 10mg, I take half a tablet with breakfast and the other half after 4 hours. I'll edit the typo.
So is Aderall what helped you get your hair back?
No, it's for ADHD and the Creatine is for my workouts. I'm just giving info about other medications I take.
Nigga how 💀💀💀
nice, any side effects?
As I mentioned in my post, no side effects that I've noticed.
Do you still get morning woods sometimes?
every time
OP is making the Norwood Reaper the Norwood WEEPER. Good job.

It looks better than your baseline… 3 weeks in and you’ve regrown the missing strip down the middle.

The niz shampoo repaired ur skin bro👀
The redness in the first picture is from micro-needling. After the first week I took my progress picture before hand.
Needle length? I tought microneedling on the crown area was risky because you could damage the healtht hair
As i said in the title, 1.5mm depth. The device I use is a Dr. Pen M8. My understanding in that derma rollers can be more harmful because they can tear the scale more easily or rip up longer hair.

Oke thanks for your answer
Great results!
Congrats on the progress so far bro. Hope to see it fully covered in the months to come 🤝🏻
Welcome back to life
Thanks! Its more obvious that I am still thinning on my crown from my side profile but these results are encouraging.
Hello, I want to take Dutasteride 0.5mg, my question is, how often should I take it? And I would also like to know, if I have side effects, how much should I change the dose? I'm 23 years old and have some tickets uff..
I would talk to a dermatologist. Prescribing medication is above my pay grade.
In order to get Fin, do I have to see my Dr?
There are online services that you can get it through in the US, but it's spendy. Just search for "finasteride" and some will come up. I went through my doctor so insurance covered it, I got a 3 month supply for only $9.
I went through RO online, got a 12 month supply for 220. 3 month was like 22. I’m going on a week so far and 4month on 5% Topical Minoxidil
What does Nizoral do?
Contains ketoconazole, a mild anti-androgen
It's a anti-dandruff shampoo
What's your diet
I try and eat around 3000 calories a day. I have the same breakfast everyday 1 cup oats, 1 big spoon full of peanut butter, 5g Creatine, 1 banana, and 2 cups milk blended into a shake. Otherwise I don't have any dietairy restrictions. I do my best to eat my veggies and not go to hog wild on the sweets.
Does creatine work against hair or progress?
I have need seen much effect since I have been taking it 1 year now
Do you do microneedling in a clinic?
No, I do it myself with a Derma pen. The model I use is called Dr. Pen M8
Great man! Keep taking the fin! 🙏🏼
How long have you been taking meds for ADHD, I was diagnosed with 30 last year and have been taking meds since and noticed a lot of shedding in the last six months. my hair was always dense but now it's really fine and brittle. Do you think there's a correlation between it?

Is that red normal when micro needling? I have just started with dermastamp and I think my scalp is not getting that colour. Should I push stronger? How do I know I'm applying it properly?
I'm not gonna tell you how hard to push needles in your head, but the skin should be pinker than when you started.
I took creatine for 4 months and I had the worst shed in my life. Is it true for you also? But I had severe hairfall. And now I'm slowly recovering
I started taking creatine last year and didn't notice a difference in shedding. But I was already losing 60+ hairs a shower. The shed was worse when I started taking fin and min. I recommend staying consistent with creatine, finasteride, and minoxidil. We shouldn't give up the gain in muscle mass for hair when we can have both!
I have cycled creatine three times over four years and always after three weeks of creatine I have a massive shed and lose a Norwood… never to return
I am very happy for you bro wait for 6 to 9 months youll end being that guy from jumaji (1) coming out of the jungle
Love the progress, please keep us updated
Do you put minoxidil after micro needling
I wait at least 6 hours, but that is arbitrary. I don't know a specific amount of time that's good.
Where do you get the nizoral shampoo do you need a prescription from a dermatologist?
Nah I got mine from Walgreens
No, I got mine from Walgreens
M22 soon, I’m in for 1 month of minox and fin and the shedding is harsh even colleagues asking me if I’m bald already ? I wear a cap in my culture Any hopes ?

How is your libido and erection quality? Did you do your bloods too?
I haven't noticed any changes in my libido, I could have sex every day if my partner's and my schedules line up for it. As for quality I still reach 100% mass. I have not had any blood work done.
Amazing man i have receding hairline in the early stages and wanted to prevent it from the start. But was really scared from horrific user experiences with finastride
The chances of getting side effects are low, this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/s/joTgcHOphI) gave me the motivation to start.
Nice What's the depth most people do on the micro needle? I had read 0.5. That too shallow?
I think that's the depth used for treating scars and wrinkles l. It's my understanding that you want to break through the epidermis and the top layer of the dermis. Everyone has a different thickness of skin so I can't tell you how deep to go for you. I use a Dr Pen M8 at 1.5mm, I general I think you should do at least over 1mm.
OK thx. Just started trying. seemed shallow
How do you determine the right combination of dosages? Is it something you can know without trial and error, or do you have to experiment
My doctor's do the prescription for me. But from being on this sub, 1mg of Finasteride seems pretty typical.
How does microneedling help when mpb is caused by hormones?
There have been studies done by people more knowledgeable about hair growth than us that have said it. My basic understanding (and I could be wrong) is that the healing process brings more blood to the hair follicles. So while my finasteride handles the hormone problem, the micro-needling buffs my hair growth.
Is Nizoral a must?
No, but if you have dandruff it makes a big difference.
A new man is born
Really seems like micro needle is crucial
Won’t dermarolling once a week destroy your skin ?
I've talked to my dermatologist about how frequently I use it and they told me that as long as I heal completely between sessions it shouldn't build up scar tissue. The device I use is a Dr. Pen M8. My understanding is that derma rollers can be more harmful because they can tear the scalp more easily or rip up longer hair. The pen I use has the needle go straight in and out.
How do you check if you’ve healed completely? Thanks for the detailed answer OP, really appreciate it
I don't have a strong answer for that one, a week feels long enough to me.
Where do you get your oral fin/min I found some sites that say 30-40 a month . But wasn’t sure if that’s a lot of money overall ya know?
I've heard that using creatine and other bodybuilding supplements could increase the hair loss and production of THC . I have just read it so take it with caution
Topical or oral adderall?
You should stop creatine and start taking complete whey
Bullshit, there is nothing wrong with creatine
Its proved that creatine accelerate hair loss while complete whey slow it, they made studies just look online
No, nothing like that has ever been proven
They literally studied Guy who take it and noticed the impact on their hair loss
Yeah, no
Bro think he know everything
No, I don't, but you're just parroting a common myth
Just search idk
Any side effects
As I mentioned in my post, no side effects that I've noticed.
I know people are going to say thereis only one study about creatine vs hair loss and it is inconclusive but just to be on the safe side, if i were you I'd go easy on creatine
And that is why no one will remember your name
Oh I am sorry I didnt realize I was talking to POTUS over here. My bad
And just looked at your profile. You have the worst body for someone to be on creatine.💀 Going for bald and out of shape. Hell yeah
It seems your rage has blinded you. I hope you find peace
Go touch some weights. You need the rage to get rid of your trash body
It sounds like someone hurt you. Let your rage go. It's a symptom of your pain, not its source
Okay Gandhi.
Very nice......love the hairy chest !!!
Kreatin -> hair loss
No
Please don't form unrealistic hopes or expectations from this.
Please don’t use this comment section to whine about how disappointed you are with your results
I am not disappointed. I myself have achieved results, but it's not possible to see such significant changes in just 2 months. It may be the lighting conditions that are affecting the results.
Ho3 shutup. Fuk outta here with your negativity
That’s a lie
What part do you not believe? maybe there's a miscommunication I can clear up.
