Man, your positivity is one of my favorite things about your channel. You carry such a good energy about such a stressful thing to go through. Awesome results, DJ. Thanks for all the videos.
Regarding your transplant scar , If you want ppl to stop mentioning it always , you know you have options as in SMP that will eliminate it by at least 90%. For someone like yourself who is making a rep as a hair loss ambassador, you should really have an open mind when it comes to exploring different, viable options. I think SMP in your case would really make a difference . As always, great vids👍

17 months on finasteride and 7 months on minoxidil for me (you're still on minoxidil, right DJ)? Anyway, I completely agree with you on laying your hair down. When I do that, it looks much denser and almost conceals the diffuse thinning and patchiness of what's on top. It's when I stand it up or put it back that all is revealed and it's not a pretty sight. I'm a white man, but have the same hair as you (wavy/curly).
Dan! Love the regular updates brother. Are you noticing significant improvements compared to before fin + min? I recall you we a bit frustrated a few months ago. And yes I’m still using minox. Once per day. -DJ
Tight. I’m on 9 months topical fin 0.25mg/day and 13 months 5% minox daily. Just posted update video. I think progress is finally revving up. Do you still see progress from fin at this point or do you think you’ve maxed it out already?
Your attitude is awesome 😎 Curious if you’ve considered Ru58841 and CB 03 01 in addition to everything else. You look sharp man and you’ve just got a feel good personality. Thanks for sharing ✨
Honestly man it looks pretty good considering where you would be without treatment. I saw a vid of you from a few months ago (the one where you interviewed the guy about making topical fin) when you had medium-ish length hair and damn it looked good! You should keep it that length, it looks like you had a full head of NW1 hair
I did notice when i was working out a lot, My hair was growing like crazy.. maybe due to the increase in testosterone. I am taking finasteride for a year exactly now. I have to say That all of my hair has really thickened up a lot. I just wish my hair line would just fix itself 🤣🥲. Thanks for the update bro, stay positive❤️🙏🏾
@@rmartin6914 its just 1 mg finasteride.. I know there are different brands of fin. But it doesn’t matter in the end bro. Fin=fin. Its from my pharmacy, it is a subscription though.
I hv been taking finasteride 5mg film-coated for four months without side effects my hairs has stopped pulling off easily I guess the reason for no side effects is bcus i take finasteride 5mg film-coated in d morning and at night i take panex ginseng for overall health I guess u guy should try it It's really working for me
I've been on finasteride for over 4 years and on Minox for ~7 years. Used them for receding hairline. My hairline has recessed in spite of the treatments, but very slowly. I can't gauge the exact efficacy of Fin since I never stopped taking it. I occasionally changed the dosage from 1mg to 0.5mg. Regarding side effects, I have NOT experienced any major sexual side effects (e.g. erectile dysfunction or gynecomastia). However, I would say that my libido and genitalia sensitivity and semen volume are all lower than what they were before starting the medication. I am inclined to consider this reduction as a side effect of Fin, but it may be attributed to just getting older, depression, and reduced physical activity. I want to get a transplant and get off Fin, since my baldness is confined to the temples/hairline. So, my main concern is the possibility of more severe side effects after withdrawing from the medication.
@@carlosawad1132 On average a lower sex drive and less genital sensitivity. When I started the med 4 years ago, I had watery semen for a few months, but that went away. The only issue that has persisted is reduced libido and sensitivity.
The results looks good 👍🏻 may I Ask Why you didn’t transpoant hair on the crown? Asking it bc I am considering a HT myself In the future. Also appreciate for your videos and your honousty 😊
So true about the white ppl hair. My hair is blonde asf, and the hairs are very fine. When the light shines just right you can see straight across my head!
I just started finasteride two days ago and using minoxidil at the same time. Have mild patchiness and thinning so I started early to see how it goes and I’m only 28. Let’s see how this goes!
@@AmonEKO No I have not started shedding for some reason or I haven’t notice much at all. I have a small patch on the top of my head that’s thinning but everywhere else is still thick so I assume that since I started way early there isn’t much shedding.
You got a good shaped head, some smp and you'll look great. Another point, black guys have very similar beard and scalp hair. Consider more density at your hairline and fill the crown in with beard hairs. They take them from the neck, the part that most guys keep shaved.
transplants are absolutely failutres. I never understand why diffuse baldies go for them. I myself am diffuse thinning and never would do it. Transplants were almost meant for receeders with nice thick donor hair. I'm sorry for triggering all the transplant zombies in advance
hi bro...i have been using finasteride for a year...the shedding is still there...last week i switched to dutasteride.....i hope i get better results...what do think?
Hey bro, what finasteride brand do you use (should say MFG by)? I have used multiple ones and ASCEND has never worked and has made me shed like crazy. Only ACCORD and Aurobindo have given me great results. All generic medications don't work as well. I would really like to know which one you use.
@@Macmittens411 what chu mean you don know about Turkey bro? That's crazy. So you neva heard of Hair of Instabull before? And you neva heard of I think is FUE or FUT can't remember but one of them is a single hair transplant. Where have you been? Ima go to Turkey to do my hair transplant when I got the money myself. You should do some research.
he doesnt have the essential donor hair strands for replacement - he was unfortunately to have such frail hair quality - its just badluck - gotta live with it
Have you looked into the (very, very convincing) muscle tension theory for the cause of androgenic alopecia and botox being the optimal solution? I'm fully convinced personally. Finasteride works, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't really get to the root cause of hairloss which is chronic tension in the Galea Aponeurotica. Victims of male pattern baldness all suffer from this tension in the Galea scalp muscle without exception and start thinning according to where the tension is the worst which is where the 'pattern' comes from. Balding begins at the corners.
@@electrikevin that is extremely outdated and not true. DHT triggers growth in other areas of the scalp and body yet acts as a balding agent at the top. Why is that? Castrated men do not continue balding after losing their testicles but their hair never comes back. Why is that? Why does the scalp tissue physically change if androgens is the root cause? The DHT theory fails to answer all of this. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306987717310411
Dafuk about the scar who cares this isn't giiving a bad look, if i could trade a scar like this for 5% more density on the top of my head i would do that (but i wouldn't pay for it xD).
Bro I don’t watch your videos but judging by how much content you’ve been dropping about this topic I say just let it go man lol bald is ok bro. It happens for a reason
in this case you might be right he is half bald. Maybe try dutasteride for a year or 2 if that dosent improve his denisty then shave it off. Another transplant would make his scar even more visible. Black people have it especially hard to keep their hair cuz they have more test than white people or Asians.
Man, your positivity is one of my favorite things about your channel. You carry such a good energy about such a stressful thing to go through. Awesome results, DJ. Thanks for all the videos.
Appreciate the love, John. If I can help just one guy feel more secure about their situation, then I’m satisfied.
