Imagine a 19 year old kid that’s struggling big time with hair loss. His “friends” make fun of him for it, women wouldn’t talk to him cuz of it, and he spent HOURS a day thinking and researching about it. He doesn’t know what to do, but then he comes across your channel, and is inspired to actually face the issue head on and goes down the medical therapy route. Years later he’s now in a much better place and can put his energy and focus in other areas of his life. You did that for me, whatever you choose to do to make yourself happy is what I fully support. You helped pull me out of a dark place and I’m here to tell you the people who have been with you since the keratin brotherhood days will never think any less of you no matter what.
If it can be of any help, I was in your same situation, too. Or rather, people made fun of me but not for my hair loss, but because I'm short. Anyway this story has to do with hair loss because I never cared about my hair until one of my friends went from a below average look to AMAZING by growing long hair. So I did that too and for more than 5 years I've let it grow. And that's when I noticed I was balding, fast. Anyway to make it short I decided to shave it all off after the 5 years mark, 100 to 0. Now there was my best friend (girl) at the time that is 6.1 inches and I'm 5.4. She always told me:"Honestly I would never date a shorter man because I'm just too tall and it would be uncomfortable to even bend down for a kiss. I would also not date muscular guys because I'm not fit and would feel bad about it" well long story short, as soon as I shaved my head bald it took me 2 months to get in a relationship with her. No kidding. Granted we already had a nice connection but I was deep in the friendzone for many reasons, but she told me that she started to feel something but was not quite fond of it because my hair looked like a mess and it seemed like I didn't take care of it, but bald? I look(ed) much better and that's how she started to think I wasn't a complete douche about my wellbeing.
So if anything... of course it wasn't because of my haircut alone but women do dig the bald look if done right, don't let it destroy your self worth :)
@@FilippoCardoni There is big difference between being bald and having short hair, even if it means the shortest it can be. That is the reason why people do micro pigmentation. I don t know your situation but i m assuming you are not bald nor shaved the head, just clipped at minimum
I am where you were and nothing is working for me. 20 years old and looking 30. 😢
@@FilippoCardoni Yeaaah... sounds like a... good girl...
@@FilippoCardoni that’s awesome man!
If I had your facial features, I'd not be worried about shaving it all. You'll always look great
Mans got the perfect head shape too lol
For real. Dudes very good looking. enough so that he dont even need hair. Very few people have facial features that good that balding doesnt hinder their looks.
At most, Smp would be more than enough and he’s good to go. He dont need a transplant at all. He just needs to get over the mental part of dealing with his hairloss for good, then he’s good to go.
Man has a golden voice .. and balls made up of steel ; if optimism has a physical form its probably him
I couldn’t agree more, very well said
Hair loss is like the most damaging thing for men to go through. It's like the one thing that you almost have no control over and it's not your fault. Hope you do whatever it takes to feel confident with how you feel.
Man I wish I had your positive attitude about hair loss. You may not think you come across as an inspiration, but you are to so many people who are struggling with this uncomfortable situation. Thanks for giving encouragement and voice to so many silent sufferers, myself included.
I appreciate that, Pushermann. It’s humbling to hear so thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.

takes courage to record a video like this! stay strong brother! greetings from Spain!
Thanks for the legendary content. You've helped a lot of us. 👑
@michael starks: It's been a while brotha! Crazy how long you've been supporting the channel. I appreciate it always!
-DJ
The struggle is real but we in the same boat.
Big up yourself DJ🤜🏾🙏🏽
Incredible journey man. You are a true inspiration
Thanks for sticking around over the years, liquidgold!

Important video that will definitely be a big realization for many. Cool that you shared this man!
Transparency DJ! Thank you for being your genuine self.
Appreciate the love, Richie! Hope you’ve been well!

wow, finasteride really does work then. I appreciate all you done man
At least for me it did. I never realized how much of a night and day difference it made. So I'm glad I documented my four years of taking it so other folks can see that it can work for some guys.
Thanks for your support!
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood I thought u used dutasteride, why did u go back to fin DJ
I'm on Finasteride since Sept 1st '22 to current date and I don't think it's had any affect, it maybe have saved some of my donor area but other than that nothing has regrown or whatever. Also on Biotin, shampoo Palmetto, and Minoxodil... Duno if it's even having an affect but gona keep it up until HT later this year. So maybe it's retaining my hair but im unsure
@@brianlawlor4221your hair still thinning and falling/
@@raphaelfernandes5195 so continue to consume yea? I am doing so anyway. 1mg Fin daily along with the rest daily. So you say get another batch of these, as they run out next month. Zero side affects also thankfully
Great video! Your channel is one of the best that describes the social and emotional side of hair loss and restoration!
That means a lot, Jeff. That's always been my goal with my hair loss content. Appreciate the support!
-DJ
Forever grateful for the content you have put out. It's helped me a ton on my journey. Have sooo much respect for you thank you again!
Thanks for being honest and open with us regarding your journey. This can be a sensitive topic for a lot of guys.
Bro, I did the exact same thing as you. Went off of it for 2-3 months after being on it for 14 months and seeing such great results combining fin, min and derma rolling. Went back on all three in October last year because I went bald and thought it would be fine but couldn't really accept it so I went back on it! Having hair is part of our identity and it's so hard to let go of. SMP sounds great and will be something I'll consider once I discontinue taking medication in a few years time! Great video!
@Creative I would say the same if not even better because I've adopted even more better habits for managing stress etc which can also impact hair loss negatively :)
Why do you plan to stop fin?
@John Doe Yes it sure did... fell out quickly and a lot
@@unknwnfriend4686 I don't plan to stop fin anymore... I did because I wanted to se if I could go all natural and go bald, not because of side effects but because I wanted to be all natural :)
@@victoremery ohhhh ok, I am almost 17 and have lost 40% density. Currently buying time by using minoxidil till 18 cuz derm won't give me a prescription now. Hopefully I can start fin and not get any sides. InshaAllah!
It's perfectly OK to not be OK with it!
Thanks for the honest and sincere take on hair loss!
Thanks for the support, Geno! Appreciate it, brother!
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood of course brother. Did you continue monixidil? I stopped Fin last year due to sides myself.
I started losing hair in 2017 when I was only 19 , it came out of no where, in the span of 2 years I went from full head to losing most of my hairline, it was a struggle NGL , no one helped even my family, when someone point out the fact im losing hair triggers me so much.
Fast forward to 2022 I started focus on my studies, building my confidence, What I started to notice it wasn't as big as I was setting it to be , I know its a big change and a permanent one but , I started to make peace with the situation, in the end of 2022 I met someone who's having a similar case and he tried to suggest minoxidil for me , I simply said i don't need it , thats when i know i was ok with the way i look. the moment i accepted it didn't bother me as much , the comments didn't stop, I still hear some jokes -some of them are actually funny- but it just doesn't bother me very much , this is me and this how im going to be , if worrying about it won't change it why worry at all.
Its a difficult thing for a young man I know , and I hope everyone who is struggling finds his peace of mind ♥️
We support you with whatever you do DJ! You the legend of hair loss content on UA-cam
I commend your courage on going public on this, luckily for you you've been blessed with good looks and you'll look great with a shaved head. Maybe a bit of SMP especially in the scar area. If you want my advice I'd say forget about the finasteride, put a little SMP in that scar to take the edge off it and embrace the clippers. All the best.
Picasso SMP in LA is great.
It takes strength to be out in the open about hair loss, many men are not. A positive about SMP is you can start on the conservative side and progress with each session. With the right artist, you can get some amazing natural results. Let me know if you have any questions about SMP I would be happy to help how ever I can. On a side note.... Your a great father bro!
Keep striving to becoming a greater version of yourself everyday. This journey never ends, each stage in their lives brings new challenges. My kids are 21,20 and 16!
Honestly i think SMP could really look great in your case and I read online that when it is done well it can last for up to 5 or 6 years only than you have to refresh it which is great for a procedure that can be done so quickly. I personally consider to get one for myself within the next years because i am in a similar situation.
DJ, I just wanna say, my brother, this channel is a real hidden gem! I love how honest you are about how you're feeling, and your positivity is beyond contagious! I've been on fin and minoxidil for a little over 9 months now and I must say, those drugs really do work well, I'm at a point where I can finally look in the mirror and smile again, a stark contrast from when my hair loss was more accentuated and I couldn't even bear looking at myself. Aside from some brain fog every now and then (not like I didn't have it before taking fin anyways), I've been side effect free since the very start. Thank you for spreading the word about the drugs and helping so many of us. I hope that whatever you choose to do about the hair loss after trying for a kid works for you!
I usually hate the "just shave it bro " crap, but you are an ideal candidate. Shave that, you'd look excellent actually, and then forget about all the bs.
I also quit finasteride. Multiple night Boners back within 2weeks and before I was numb down there. Also, maintaining with fluridil as it's the only treatment with zero sides.
I really appreciate this content. I honestly don’t think you know how strong and courageous you are. I know you may feel a bit down about the loss but you have definitely helped so many people with sharing your journey. You may not know your subscribers but just remember we’re all rooting for your happiness and success. Much love you to and your family!
DJ you are the man brother. I don't say that lightly and I am sure you will make the right decision. I think you are right that SMP would look great with your current hair length. Hope the counselling is helping brother.
Good to see you again, Bart! Counseling is going well. I'm learning a lot about myself and how to move past old traumas. I'll have some videos that talk about it soon because I think some people need to hear it.
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood Glad its going well for you. I look forward to your upcoming videos. Take care brother.
Been a rollercoaster ride to follow. Started fin around the same time as u. Thanks for the content
Zach, man....roller coaster is the exact way to describe this whole journey lmao. Thanks for watching!
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhoodHey man question for you. Did you stop fin cold turkey or taper off?
Honestly dude, i reckon you would look awesome if you just shaved it off completely. You remind me of a younger Dewayne "The Rock" Johnson. Good looking, good facial structure, good head shape. I say go for it.
The Rock?? I guess I'll need to start hitting the weights and gear hard lol. Naw, but thanks for the kind words. While I don't like my head shaved, it's nice to hear that I could pull it off if I was so inclined.
-DJ
He has a huge scar on the back. That's what's holding him back.
He can get pigmentation tattoos (whatever it's called) on the scar tho.
Wow I'm surprised you lost that much after only 90 days! I've taken a month to six weeks off of Fin and not really noticed much difference, but my hair loss isn't as severe. You're convincing me not to take any more breaks... I'm 40 and still single so my hair is more important than if I were married honestly.
DJ thank you for your honesty and sharing your experiences with hair loss and life in general. I really appreciate you.
90 days into your hair loss and your hair line is still better than mine
I think his hairline is transplanted hair. It will not fall out
The fact that you have so much personality the hair loss don’t make difference in your outlook
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
If you're a great father you'll never feel like you are, as a father to 4 you will always feel like you can do better. I gave up my hair in my early 30's and just shaved it off. At that time I had two kids, my ex wife became a drug addict and ran off leaving me to raise a 11 month old and 7 year old on my own.
Needless to say my hair was the last thing on my mind, I just shaved it and focused on doing the best I could. Fast forward 10 years later I'm still doing the best I can and that's all anyone can ask of you.
Okay my opinion though I haven't tried it, honestly a hair unit is the least hassle and safest, change the tape once a week or so and move along, yes it probably will cost you $700-$1k a year but I think of all the options it has zero side effects while giving you all the confidence. Like I said I haven't done it YET, but I've researched it lol.
bro i been with your channel since day one, you have helped me alot!..thank you!....i am a "hair fiber guy"...i learned a great deal about my thinning hair and how to combat it because of you....I wish you and family all the best!..again thank you brother!
DJ, I have been off of finasteride for over 6 months (I was on it for 3 years) and I lost a bit on my crown, but I am nowhere near baseline (pre-finasteride). I am NEVER getting back on it. I am sorry you lost all your gains and more bro! My advice is learn to love yourself for who you are and what you look like. What's most important is what is on the inside and how you conduct yourself in life and you've already proven you're a great guy. For me, I just was tired of messing with my hormones. I still take minoxidil every day and perhaps that is one of the reasons why I haven't lost too much of my gains in the last 6+ months of stopping finasteride.
have you had any side effects?
You have beautiful teeth, amazingly warm eyes and an extremely if not perfectly suited skull-shape for a bald head! Do what you choose, but you totally rock NO HAIR as well! Thansk for your posotive vibes (strugglin with haitr loss myself).
The positive about you looking into SMP is you have the face structure for a shaved head. You have a nice strong jawline, the right shaped head and nice facial features.. so you would be golden, in my opinion if you were to opt for that 🙌
I had a hard time accepting my hair lost. Dealing with it now. I got some bad side effects from taking finasteride for two years. Been off it for awhile, I’m contemplating if I should get back on it. Anyway, great channel. Been following for awhile.
What were the side effects you had?
hate to see one of the warriors fall down , we will continue fighting as long as their is something to do about it
You should first use the SMP salon to have them cover your FUT scar. If you like the results, then go with the full SMP. IMO most SMP's look poor because the SMP salon insist on 3 treatments. Most guys look just fine with a shadow of hair and not some overdone dark tattoo.
Joe Tillman did a reaction to this video if you are interested.
You seem like a genuine guy, and you don't look bad without hair. I think being a great dad is all that matters at this point, and if people give you trouble about your hair, then those people don't see what is really important.
Hope for the best for you and your family.
damn , the finasteride was really holding on 90% of the hairs
I heard it's not good for pregnant women. I'm rooting for you no matter what you do.
Hey Dj it’s definitely been a while since I’ve seen your videos and I wanna say I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. We started Finasteride a month apart and I struggle daily with the when is enough enough. Sometimes I miss my glory days with my hair and others I’m like Fuxk this I can rock a baldy and move on and save thousands of dollars. Thanks for sharing your hairloss and gain and loss journey with us. You provide an education to people like myself who can see all sides to this. If I stop taking finasteride I must accept that inevitable hairloss. Thinking about a transplant but realistically I know if I ever stop finasteride I will have a terrible bald pattern. Good luck on the Baby making! You got this Champ! Please update us man if you decide on smp that’s another route maybe some of us will take! It’s ok mental health is so important I know exactly how you feel bro and just understand and realize you’re not alone you’re just brave to be sharing on a platform like this and are blessed with the gift to deliver great content! Stay blessed!
I think you could potentially get an FUE hair transplant and then get SMP I think it could look really good on you
Man, you're taking it like a champ. I'm really scared of stopping the meds, been doing fin, dut and minoxidil for 9 years. I want to see if I'll be in good shape for a transplant when I feel old enough (at least 30).
If you do want to quit finasteride, make sure you taper off VERY SLOWLY. In most cases, people who develop PFS get it from stopping the medication abruptly.
@@angelicannihilator I don't really have any sides to worry about PFS, but I'm willing to move to another country and Idk how easy it will be to get a prescription for all the stuff I take.
fin + dut every day or fin and dut separete days/
It's ok, man.
We all have our struggles.
Hang in there.
Peace.
Go for a hairsystem, I’ve seen them in real life and they’re GREAT. It’s crazy how real and untraceable it looks.
I’ve tried finasteride 0.025% topical, I got side effects within 4 days and stopped immediately, I wish I never touched that stuff.
I have been following DJs channel for 3 years and I have been extremely impressed. I really hope this channel doesn't stop because it's extremely refreshing and informative. I have incorporated some of his methods in barking my hair loss. Thankyou DJ for everything you have done 🙏
I feel like when you stop finasteride, all the dht just hits at once from being suppressed for so long and then eventually evens out again but by that time a lot of hair is lost
My main man, dont do SMP for the love of god, everyone and i mean almost EVERYONE regrets doing SMP after a few months/years. IT fades away, it looks like crap after a while, and in theory, its supposed to look like real hair, but in real life, i assure you it doesnt. I am a balding dude, only in my crown, and finasteride and oral minoxidil made me go from NW3 ( only vertex, hairline was only intact ) to NW1, not even kidding. BUt my father, who is now 67 and was 61 when he had SMP, dude it really goes to shit really fast, and till this day it looks like crap, and since its in his bald spot, which is huge, he only wears caps everytime even at an old age because he doesnt like how it looks. I really REALLY advice you not to do it, please.
Ah, that sucks.
who did his SMP ?
How many smp results have you seen in person?
@@maximt1401 My father had SMP, at first it looked kind of good, it never really looks like in the pictures if you look up close, it looks really artificial, but it looked kind of good. Fast foward 7 years and it looks like shit, as in really faded.
But im not basing my opinions in only him, ive been in reddits and forums of guys who did SMP and mostly all of them regret it later in life.
You seem like a cool dude. Just keep positive. I get how you feel. Im minoxidil and finasteride but with incredible results. Im happy for me but genuinely sad for u. The good news is your head shape looks good. And you good bald.
Im gonna be super real with you. Some people are bald no matter what....and thats you ,bro. No disrepect. But you tried so much.
Smp would work fine. Ive seen it up close...and never looks real in person.
Bro, you would serve yourself so much better...accept your bald.
Its def ok not to be ok with it.
But you gotta accept what u cant change.
Youre amazing, bro. Your hair doesnt define you.
Im realtively short...i tried doing the lifts in shoes...i was fooling myself. Im 5'9 and have so much going for me.
Your channel should be getting confidence being bald.
Good luck with everything. I'll still watch your vids.
Mate. Just be yourself. I liked this video of yours, just being your own self. Hats off to you fof your honesty👍🙂
This dudes voice needs to be on the radio!
you don't look bad without hair
Life wouldn’t be the same without your hair until we meet with it again in heaven.

Good to see you looking healthy DJ, hope all is well! I recently just started to add x2 Dutasteride to my regimen with x5 Finasteride and minoxidil foam once daily after your advice. But with the addition of Dutasteride I'm experiencing really low libido.
I know this is going to be quite random but it'll be nice to get your opinion after watching your journey and your videos helping me a lot the past few years and I think you're a very down-to-earth guy.
I feel like as a young guy in this kinda time of "hook-up" culture I feel a bit down that people are only looking to immediately have that aspect of it and not start with an actual connection(am I wrong in thinking like this?), it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong trying to meet people organically and not jump straight into bed and then that's it. I actually feel the Dut is helping me see things more healthily with that aspect rather than instinctively but I'm constantly getting the cold shoulder, maybe I've just been unlucky with the people I've met. I sort of don't get what the "right" way to do things are, because it's a decision I'm making but it's hurting me in the process.
You might want to stop those medication if having sexual side effects
Fuck that Fin off bro it ain't worth it. Minox and roller or bite the bullet and transplant it.
I completely understand you mate. I am on 0.5 Duta every 3rd day and it basically completely stopped hair loss. But i can definitely feel some lower libido, although no erection/or orgasm problem. I personally like it though, since i am in a long-term commited relationship, but even if i was dating, i would definitely like it because it would give me a much more rational mindset in regards to dating and spouse selection.
Basically i could see the person more holistically, e.g. her personality, our attitudes on things etc. rather than heavily rely only on her physical appearance and my sexual attraction to her etc. (as i was heavily used to do so). My view is simply that you haven't met the right person yet. Don't get stressed from the pressures of the current dating culture, just take your time and enjoy things and im sure you will find the right person.
Daily? That's loads! I took 1mg Propecia daily with aggressive loss by 26. Halted it but didn't grow back. Have now cut down to about 1mg every third day for about the last 4 years and notice no difference. Be careful taking so much.
@@ln5747 sorry the foam is once daily, the tablets are mentioned weekly
Stay strong man, MPB is really trash. I managed to stabilize mine with topical fin and dermarolling. But having to apply that shit twice a day is kinda burdensome.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself though. Just imagine what's going on in your kid's head if you show insecurity about it.
This is a really powerful video. You look really good bald, embrace it! Full respect, king
Great video, very recognisable, struggling too. Good luck with your journey.
You have a good look bald so I wouldn’t worry about it. Finasteride actually restored my hair. Gave me a rewind instead of a pause. I have more hair now after three years of Finasteride than I did 10 years ago.
We met on a shoot in Korea for a CES commercial.
Your eyebrows are on point.
You look fine king.
Chin up.
Hey man, I understand if you are not ok with your hairloss, but
1. your headshape is good
2 . your face fits a balding look
3. You can cover your head with SMP
I did smp ... looks great, i think youre gonna look good because of your skin color ... so go ahead and try it !
Great video man…needed to see this - respect for finding the confidence to do the video too
Yes, SMP is an ideal move in your situation. Just get all the terminology down--soft finish, faded hairline--and you'll be golden.
Hugely important video. Thanks for sharing this 🙏
Legend. I've been watching these videos for years and years. SMP will look great on u, and it may even fully conceal your scar. Peace
I have always admired your attitude when it comes to your hair loss journey. Keep it up. Maybe FUe + SMP could be an option down the road...
Let me start by saying, you are the PERFECT candidate for SMP. My buddy and I (both about 40) have been fighting the fight for 20 years. He started later than I did. I have had 3 transplants and use everything to keep my hair to the point where I have enough tricks up my sleeve to look like I have a full head of hair. Not thin and full but absolutely full. My buddy started too late to be so lucky. He has very light skin and did it. I thought he was crazy. I was especially nervous for him for what it would look like in the bright sunlight. Truth is, he found the right guy and he looks amazing. Very good looking and successful guy. As if he has a full head but chooses to shave it. No harm, no foul if you choose to shave it. But personally I can tell you, if I’m you and I want children but also want a full head of hair, especially with darker skin, find the right SMP person. Cheaper, No worries and forever. They can even fix your scar. I have done SMP for my original scar because my first transplant was FUT and I like short hair on the sides. I can now go down to a 1 attachment and nobody knows I have a scar. It works.
I don’t comment on UA-cam. But I felt this was important because we all struggle but when it comes to these types of commitments, it’s nice to hear from others. If you want to talk about it at all, I’ve done it all and can speak on what my buddy has done as well, reach out. Would be happy to talk. I would bet that he would too.
I’m just a regular 40 year old dude (single by choice) living in south florida and in medical sales and love the single life for now. You seem like a good dude. And you’re a good looking dude. I would guess that SMP will change your life. You will never think about your hair again. Just depends who does it for you. I wish I could show you his pictures to see what he has done but privacy is important. Reach out if you want. All good. Rooting for you.

Hey man great story, I'm 34 had transplant for receding hairline 2 years ago. Looked amazing and still looks amazing but I can tell the thinning is starting to happen mid scalp towards the back. I presume I have 2 more years takin no meds before it starts to becoming noticeable.. I will probably not go for another transplant as I don't want any more scaring then I may or may not have on the front and back. I'm worried if I shave it it's going to look really weird with the island hair at the front. I was considering smp but I'm worried it will be noticeable at won't age we'll. I'm also high level buis exec so tattooing my head and adding to my possible issue if front island hair well just make me look like a fool and won't hold out well as I age to an old man... what's your thoughts with all your experiences?
@puccigroup5624 Same exact situation. Unfortunately don't see many SMP artists with post transplant clients, so not sure if we'd be candidates?
@@brandonlabrecque3175 I seen tons tbh, they look really good. I ended up shaving my head and to be honest it looks really good at a 5 guard. I’ll probably never grow it out again and would definitely consider a second transplant now that I seen myself with a buzz cut. With the transplant the buzz cut looks so good and actually masks the thinning better then the longer hair does.
@@puccigroup5624did u take finasteride after hair transplant?
Much love and respect man! After conceiving think about coming back on finasteride but on a lower dose, that may be enough! In combination with SMP you could look better thank before 😉
Hey CrownZac, I'm seriously considering SMP but as for fin, I don't know if I'll use it again. We'll see, I guess!
-DJ
@@keratinbrotherhood yes of course if you’re happy after SMP no need of considering finasteride
Hi CrownZac and DJ, using Finasteride can't conceive?
@@syafrs915 in theory finasteride doesn’t have teratogenic effects on the offspring (always remember that pregnant women should never touch nor take finasteride pills), but practically speaking the drug can lower your sperm count or cause defects in spermatozoa (that in that case are useless). This of course should be checked with a spermiogram, since if you have reasonable numbers you could conceive while on finasteride. However, in general, in order to increase your chances of conceiving and also for peace of mind of the patient finasteride is stopped 3 months before conceiving. (Btw: I’m a medical student, this is not broscience)
Great video...also...if you ever dressed up as Barack for Halloween you would absolutely kill it. I feel like you have a similar voice and cadence. Here for the review and got distracted 🤣
You're doing great man, I know it's easier said than done but with time you'll have an adorable baby and your hair back. UA-cam is like your baby, you put lot of work into it and it's not going anywhere
Yeah bro go for it do the smp i think it will suit you very very well
Your daughter is bilingual, I forgot to mention that! Thats cool !Smp with the low fade will look great on you. These smp artists are getting better too.
They really are though! They're MUCH better than even just 5 years ago.
I’m literally in the same spot as you. Have a hair transplant with a strip scar and the back of my head is totally bald. Hair transplants when you have aggressive balding are a bad idea.. Don’t let scammy doctors tell you otherwise.
I did the same thing, I got frustrated and buzzed mine too.
What age did you get the transplant? I'm trying to figure out what would be considered aggressive hairloss
DJ, I truly appreciate you sharing this video with us! I am doing half of 1mm Fin pill every other day.. I started 3 months ago and honestly not sure if this tiny dose is making any difference. Regardless, Thank you for sharing your journey! Much love & respect brother.
Love you for the transparency. Helps to see people being genuine, not the fake stoicism we usually get from guys. The hair looks good from the front thanks to the hair transplant and you have good skin. For most of your videos this is the most important angle. The SMP should make a huge improvement on your scar in the back. I'm very interested to see how it turns out.
I have to go watch your other videos, but I'm curious why you didn't just switch to topical finasteride.
You're a good looking dude. I think that SMP would look great on you. Shaving all the way down is fine too. You're not in the states - but look up Scalp Logic if you want. I can't do SMP until I go into remission. Happy New Year to you and the family!
As someone with the same thinning pattern as you, I know exactly how you feel, although mine is still in its early stages (I am 25).
I am still puzzled on whether I should start taking fin, after reading about all the side effects. But I am not happy with how my hair looks, it looks bad no matter how I style it. It's very thick on the sides and thin on top, it looks uneven and I feel insecure about it every time I look in the mirror. It's even worse when someone shows me a picture they took and I was facing backwards... God.
I always knew I was going to bald but I never expected in my twenties. It's rough man...
I want to take finasteride but I also don't want it to mess up my muscle gains and sex drive. It's a real monkey's paw situation.
Anyways, all the best to everyone dealing with this! ✌
I started finestride at 26. I had the same thought about wether to start it since I heard about the same side effects you mentioned. I’ve been on it now for 3 yrs and I don’t regret it at all. I have not noticed any side effects at all and my hair looks like how it looked before any hair loss. I also started oral minoxidil 1 yr ago and it’s helped as well
@@BlackCheckrdVans Thank you so much for sharing, I really needed to read some reassuring stuff.
I am considering getting on fin really soon.
Also, I have a question, does fin regrow lost hair, or does it just stop hair fall? I am on something of a budget, and i don't think i can get minoxidil on a consistent basis. One more thing, how many miligrams finasteride are you taking per day? Thanks in advance.
@@mxkinist finestride helps regrow the hair that isn’t completely dead. You will notice regrowth coming from the hairs that have thinned out over time but have not died out completely. The finestride alone should help out a lot. I take 1 mg finestride daily. The minoxidil can come later if you want, I take oral minoxidil.
@@BlackCheckrdVans Thanks for the helpful insight. This comment gave me the confidence to start my finasteride journey. All the best
@@mxkinist Brother dont take it: Research post finasteride syndrome. It will ruin your life, They are censoring comments, i hope this reaches you in time.
You're a legend bro 🙏🏽
We are all legends, Brian.Thanks for your support!

👍🏼 good luck with your future endeavours brother!
Love the honesty dude. This struggle is real. Go back on or shave it. You have a good shape to your skull and you're black. Black guys can rock the bald head so much better. Jordan looks better bald.
You look healthier off the stuff - good luck for the future and thanks for the content
As always, thank you for your transparency!
Love your strength brother!
I think your the first UA-camr to ever do what you just did!!! Remarkable and shocking. You are definitely admirable. I do agree that SMP would look great on you but to be honest, if fin never really affected you sexually, then I don’t know why you would pick a treatment that is less Tun having your own hair. To be honest, I’m with you at your journey and have considers your actions!!! However, one day I will get old and by then I hope I don’t care.
Please reconsider your content because it will be sad to not see you educate us all on your position of hair loss. I’ve always looked up to your position of not covering your donor scar and find your content to be of interest,
Sincerely,
Long time subscriber

Halfway through, I was thinking, damn this guy has a goood voice! Then noticed the channels name lol
SMP would do wonder for you btw!
Howdy, hadn't watched your UA-cam in about 3 years and this one popped up suddenly. I can totally relate with what you've shared in this video. Please upload any information about smp clinics in Korea as I have been contemplating having the procedure done for a few years now. All the best to you and yours!
Bro you do you, I still appreciate the positivity!
As a man just buzz the hair and get on with your life. These drug side effects are worst then being bald… I buzzed my head at 23 and it was the biggest relief
That’s not your place to decide how to deal with this as a man. Glad it worked for you, but not everyone likes the bald look
Thank you bro! Maybe you can try an all natural method. Daily scalp message to relieve scalp tension and weekly dermarolling sessions! I'm getting ready to try that
Great thought! Maybe I will start dermarolling again. But for now, I'm just slap on my daily minoxidil and go about my day.

Man I passed on transplant and medication options years ago. 10 years ago I stopped researching and worrying about all that goes into the medication and transplant route once I found out about SMP.. I know its there when i want it and I'm booked to get it done in 2 months (My guy has a waiting list).. Im so glad the last 10 years I didn't worry about my continual hair fall knowing what I would do when It got too bad.. Now is the time.. Good luck
I honestly believe that scalp micropigmentation would fit you amazingly! It usually fits better in darker skin... Greetings from Greece!
You were so inspirational to me especially few years back. Maybe you should try the hair system root or whatever makes you happy. All the best bro with whatever it is you do.
Great video, and you're a great guy! I wish you well in your hairloss treatment, buddy.
This shocked me, but respect for putting this video up
If you go a year without FIN, might as well just stop permanently. Like you said, you already lost probably 90% of what you were destined to lose anyways. Going on FIN might not gain you much back also.
SMP might work. Especially since your hairline is intact
Love your energy bro. I do think your best option would be SMP and keeping your hair short, you rock the short look. Also have you considered Turkey maybe?
