Using natural oils during scalp massages really works in hair fall control. Oils such as coconut, onion, and rosemary can be especially good. I mix a few drops of rosemary oil with my liitlexttra cooconinon shampoo with hair oil, and this really helped in seeing good hair growth.
This liittlextra coocconion hair oil has transformed my haircare game. It features a great herbs. You can tell by the smell it contains key ingredients such as coconut, onion, rosemary, fenugreek. What's really great about this product is that it has significantly reduced my hairfall and make my hair thicker than ever. This hair oil is a must have.
I’ve been taking it for 20 years. I haven’t had any negative side effects. I would completely bald without it.
And at what norwood step are you?
@@johndoe_1984 i also want to know
I was at a Norwood 2. My hair didn’t grow back but it has slowed down the hair loss. I would say now I’m a Norwood 3 but my crown isn’t that thin, meaning I don’t have a bald spot. I had a hair transplant for my temples and front at 40. Baldness is on both sides of my family and my brother and dad are completely besides the back. I started getting a receding hairline at 17.
@@tp8332 Thank you for sharing that information. Have you always taken the recommended 1mg daily dose? Or did you reduce it at some point? Also, have you used any other help like derma-roller or Minoxidill at some point? Thank you.
T P Thats amazing, thank you for sharing
Started Finasteride at the age of 21 when I was experiencing severe hair loss. Hair loss stabilised due to this. Now age 34. 13 years so far. Still have a head full of hair. Stopped only twice for a month each time in 2016 & 2018 when me and my wife were planning children. Would have been bald if I had not started Finasteride at an early age.
any side effects?
Why did you feel like stopping when planning children?
Thank you very much for that, it gives hope. Would you mind telling me what exactly is "stabilise"? Is it stop hair loss or slow it down?
@kropinak ... finestaride reduces your sperm count which makes it more difficult to get your partner pregnant
This gives me hope as I’m 22. Are you using any other adjunct treatments as well?
8.5 years here with great results. Have slowly lost ground I'd say but it is very gradual. Plan to get a hair transplant in the next 5 years
When do you take it? I mean What's the routine??
@@syedyusufalieram1873 you can take it when ever you want during the day just try to take it at the same time every day
but when you do hair transplant you have to still take finasteride, am I wrong?
@@Cssaarr yes u still need to take it
Could you please elaborate more in a separate video about the ‚turning on’ and especially the ‚turning off‘ of the hair loss gene, and what it means for finasteride treatment when getting older (40, 50, 60 or even more)? For me, that is a concept I have never heard of so far. Thank you!
Same.
Yeees
He pulled that out of his ass. Hairless is a gradual event that happens from years of DHT slowly killing your hair follicles
@@SmashBrosBrawlNo he didn’t. There are periods in your life where your hairloss slows down and times where it speeds up. This is what he is talking about, not as simple as on or off but that’s the idea.
This is medically backed and google is free, you have to read the full papers not just the taglines.
My goal is to be on Finasteride for 10 years, as long as I don’t suffer any side effects, and then have a hair transplant or hopefully there will be a more effective treatment by then
What if finastride improves your hair loss to a degree that you don’t need a hair transplant? Will you stay on it then or will you get off of it and let your hair loss resume so the surgeon can actually see where they need to transplant the hairs?
@@jayfadeaway8931 this is highly unlikely for fin to reverse balding and regrow much hair.Dude even if you have a hair transplant you will still need to use the drug to maintain.
Dimitar Martinovski, unlikely but not impossible. Minoxidil worked wonders for me. I think the biggest factor as far as the effectiveness of any preventative treatment is how soon you catch it.
I had no idea I was even going bald until a girl brough it up to me. I got on minoxidil and the rest is history. I recently started topical finastride because I don’t know how long minoxidil alone will hold it off. From what I understand, minoxidil only stimulates the hair follicle and finastride blocks the conversion of dht. I figured attacking it from 2 angles will be more effective longer.
Dimitar Martinovski, I recently watched a video on UA-cam about a physician referring to a study that showed the if you implant hairs from the donor zone to the thinning or bald areas they won’t fall out. More interestingly he stated that the study showed that if you transplant hairs from the the thinning areas of the head into the donor zone, the the hairs would still fall despite that.
@@jayfadeaway8931 that's because it's the follicles that are damaged. The reason for taking finasteride after transplant is to prevent the un-transplanted hair follicles from getting damaged by DHT.
Almost on my 7th year I forgot my hair loss problem my life is totally change full of confidence with full of hairs 1mg is my dose I am father of baby girl and soon to be father again in few months I am not facing any single side effect
Sounds like a dream life to me

I'm 21 , been using finasteride for past 1 year along with 5percent minoxidil .
I got great results , hair loss completly stopped .
And no side effects overall
Hi yash! Can u please tell me the brand name of finasteride you are using!! It would be really helpful 🙂
Hi bro, I am also from India, I need your guide pls, can u tell me about how u started using it, I mean the doctor things, every day doses, the costs, etc etc
@@meenakshinaidu195 go for cipla or Dr Reddy
Any regrowth ?
Hii yash
Can please tell me your dosage and is it 1mg or 5mg?
Doctor please clarify how the balding gene can just turn off at a certain age ? This is the first time hearing this.I always thought once you start losing your hair it won't stop untill you go bald.
Genetics controls the hair loss process. Not everyone that loses their hair ends up being shiny bald.
@@TheHairLossShow Do you have some idea if Diffuse Thinning patients can end up shiny bald?? I have a diffuse pattern (on the top) hairline and crown are preety good. However, I don't find as much content as common pattern baldness. 31 y old and I realized I had it 1,5 year ago. I have no idea if my case is severe or not.
How long do you need to be on Finasteride? Until hair cloning comes out
Do you think that will happen within the next 100 years?
I took finasteride 3 times a week with minoxidil 5% twice a day for 3 months and the results were great, I regrew my hair and it was perfect, but I had to stop because my wife is concerned if it may lead to a health condition and I don't wanna risk it and regret later since I already have 3 kids. But it definitely was worth it and it made me happy for time it grew my hair.
Bro ..after stop take medicine...is regrown hair..still there?
@@venkatmech2508 No bro, after 1 month you will lose what you regrown. I'm doing again my medication after 8 months and will try to regrow my hair then stop minox while continuing my finasteride 3 times a week.
@@enargy5890 bro....what i understood after using finasteride , hair follicle becomes more sensitive to dht , after immediate stopping finasteride, DHT shock wave will attack hair follicle. so we need to make adapt hail follicle against DHT, which is similar to train the muscle against the load.
for that we need to reduce the finasteride dose gradually 1 mg , 0.75mg, 0.5mg ,0.25 mg like that. all are same interval of time.
i believe that after completely stopping, the finasteride people must not do any sexual activity about 3 months to adapt the hair follicles, body normal testosterones to DHT conversions.
if any one doing sexual activity after stopping the medication, there is sudden increase of testosterones levels up to 30 percentage. which cause massive damage to hair.
@@venkatmech2508 I was not aware of this bro, but in my case, it did not give any adverse effect other than losing the hair I regrown from finasteride. Now I'm retaking finas+minox, I already see that I regaining it again.
@@enargy5890 Bro, How much mg did you took 3 times a week? Because my doctor recommend 1mg/day
Whenever you say "stabilize" instead of "stop" hair loss, I start worring. Thanks for the video anyway doc.
That's unfortunately because Nothing stops hair loss permanently.
@@codybell6882 I think we don't have enough proof of that yet since finasteride has "only" been around for 20-something years and minoxidil for 30. Let's hope CB will do the job if finasteride at some point fails.
Cody Bell but he just said that the hair loss gene turns off at a certain age
@@briocheoleary5043 by that point almost always people who suffer from AGA will have already advanced the NW 6 or 7 pattern. With the help of Finasteride its possible to prevent that extent of balding but some balding should still be expected.
I love this channel.. its like i think of a question and then i find it here lol
Glad to help.
You mentioned how the balding genetics could "turn off" at a certain age. It makes sense to me theoretically that as you age, you produce less T, therefore less T to be converted into DHT. So would you assume that reducing Fin as you age is a good idea? Perhaps lower the dosage after 35-40-45?
As men age, they produce less androgens, however, follicles get more sensitive to androgens as you age. It's an interesting paradox.
Interesting indeed!
@@Nelafix couldn't you use adrogen blockers
I have a finasteride dosing question. I'm a woman with post-menopausal overall hair density thinning and miniaturization that occurred over a 3 year period. So gradual that it took me awhile to even notice what was happening until the volume loss began to seriously impact hair styling.
I've been using minoxidil for 6 months and so far, so good. I recently added finasteride. My doctor prescribed 1mg per day. So far, no side effects. I got a second opinion on the dose from another doctor and was told that anything less than 5mg is not an effective dose for a woman. Both doctors are board certified dermatologists who specialize in hair loss. If 1mg per day truly is insufficient for a woman, I may be wasting valuable time. What has your experience been in your practice with respect to effective finasteride dosing for women?
Any update? Did you took 1mg or 5mg and did you see a result on it
1mg a day keeps the hair loss away, no pun intended. Its safe mostly unless you develop unwanted side effects
women should not use that
Using finasteride 1mg for 5 years by now. Had side effects but whenever it's starting I stop it for few weeks and then start once again after it subsides. I do also reduced my dosage to 4 times a week now
Hello, and thank you for sharing that information. Could you please be so kind to answer a couple of questions?
Is it 1mg you are taking 4 times a week?
how long has it been since you reduced the dose?
Have you noticed any difference in hair loss after you changed the dose?
Thank you in advance 🙂
I had mild hair loss (crown thinning and at temples )Starting taking finasteride at 46. I’m 50 now and have a full head of hair. No side effects.
Existing hair is Thicker and fuller as well.
i can only see that your comment is full of lie and fake supported by finasteride company 😂
@@fenemonia428why did you take finasteride
OMG MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED. ..
TALK ABOUT FINASTERIDE AND BODYBUILDING.
WILL IT AFFECT MUSCLE GROWTH/MAINTENANCE, STRENGTH ANS AGGRESSION. ETC
DHT isn’t as effective at binding to the muscle tissue as testosterone, so in my research you shouldn’t notice any effect with bodybuilding, I bodybuild and I haven’t noticed any problems while on finasteride

Have you regrew your hair?
Im happy for all those who have had success with finasteride. Unforturnatley I was not one of them. I took the topical version for less than two weeks and totally crashed physically and mentally which took me nearly 4 months to recover. It was a living hell. Never again for me.
Damn, would you mind explaining your experience in more detail? I'm planning to start taking it and as you might be able to imagine, I'm quite scared of getting any sides myself. I'd like to know what to look out for.
@@eray2805 It was like living in a chronic panic attack for 4 months.
Unable to sleep, heart palpitations, drowsiness, exhaustion, brain fog, nausea, zero sex drive, total erectile dysfunction.
Testosterone dropped from 18 to 6!
I was like a living dead, it was totally crazy. Then from one day to another I woke up and most of the symtoms were gone. (Note: I started taking LDN and quickly got better. I dont know if that was just a coincidence or not) This was in the end of may 2020 and today I am more or less recovered. I will always remember the spring of 2020 as the worst time of my life by far. I never thought that this could happen from a simple hairloss-liquid.
Well, its your choice if you wanna roll the dice and take it. The majority dont get this extreme kind if side effects. But I did.
@@motorpsycho2366 Thank you for your response! I'd like to ask you one more thing if you don't mind.
Did the side effects all appear as soon as you started taking finasteride or did they build op over time? I think I'll just stop taking altogether as soon as I notice something of a side effect.
@@eray2805 I first took it for 3-4 days or so and noticed nothing except but a feelling a bit dizzy about 1 hour after application. I applied it right before bedtime so I was going to sleep anyway... Eventually the dizziness got stronger and that was kind of weird. After a week I took a pause for maybe 3 days and then started taking 0.5 ml instead of 1 ml which is the recomnended dose. The dizziness remained although cutting the dose.
And then, after maybe 5 days or so when I woke up one morning, all hell broke loose. I immediatley stopped taking it but it was too late. It was like on another planet. Extremely hard to explain the feeling unless you have experienced it yourself.
The product I used was named "Dualgen 15 plus - no PG" from Minoxidilmax which is a mix of finasteride and minoxidil.
I have almost 3 full bottles at home, you can get them for free if you want to, if you live in Sweden :). I will never touch them again.
Hope that helped. Pardon for poor english.
@@motorpsycho2366 this is bcz of minoxidil...heart palpitation,head ache are the side effects of minoxidil not finasteride
You say "until your gene for hair loss turns off" Could you elaborate what gene that is but more importantly, How would you know when it turns off if you're on finasteride already? There's no way to know until you stop the treatment and then your hair either stays stable or keeps balding.
You answered you own question there :)
@@kylekeenan3485 Exactly..
Gene can not be altered but certain environments can suppress that gene to fire everytime . And that all comes down to great lifestyle and mental management so that your harmones remain balanced ultimately bringing your whole body to harmony. So finasteride along with great lifestyle changes and cool attitude. Spend money on finasteride till you can , stop when you can't and by that time you will be having a psychology of not worrying cause of the lifestyle and positive mental transformation that you may under go by the time you are not able to afford it.
the balding gene can just "turn off" at a certain age?
Turn off or maybe slow down??
@@benchabanehocine7809 slowing down seems to be more realistic answer

### Finasteride comes under " steroid " drug category ,don't you think taking this medication for a " log term" would cause severe damage to liver or kidney or any body organ ? ? ? ? ?
Been taking finasteride 1mg/day and cover it (minoxidil + finasteride) religiously for over ~6 years now (started at 16yo). My hairline has receded for sure, but I strongly feel that it could’ve been worse had I not taken due medication. For a long long time, the hairloss has been more or less stable, and my crown is safe (norwood 2). Going to wait a few years before I start thinking about FUE.
Abhishek no side effects from finasteride?
Please answer...
I'm also curious if you had side effects.
You started at 16!!
benchabane hocine No, I have not experienced any.
16!? Do you know how important DHT to your development?
Such good content!
Can you please make a video on finasteride and cancer - I have read that Finasteride does not increase your risk of getting prostate cancer. However, if you take finasteride and later get prostate cancer then you're more likely to have a fast growing tumour.
Also have read about that.
1. What should you do if Finasteride is not working?
For context: I've been on finasteride for around 8 months and have lost significant amount of hair however, it probably slowed down the rate of loss a little bit.
You stated that it takes 6 months to see results and stability. In my case, there is no regrowth of hair and no stability.
Furthermore, both sides of my family only have some thinning hair which is to be expected for men who are 50+ but no one is bald or have excessive thinning.
I have diffuse thinning on the top and sides of my head but not the back. The hairline is nw1. I'm 21 and have been losing hair for around 1.5 - 2 years
2. So, what other causes of hairloss could it be if it isn't genetic (for someone in my case) and what should I do about it?
Thank you very much

Hi Vikram, can seborrheic dermatitis can cause hair shedding? And how long does it take finasteride to stop/ or at least slow down the hair falling? Thank you 😊
I have it too , my derma said that shedding is associated with it because you scratch but it won't actually cause hair shedding.
As loan as you use it
(1) Use lulicinazole shampoo with salicylic acid... everyday....
(2) Try to eat gut friendly non inflammatory.....
(3) meditate.....& Manage stress
(4) Exercise...cardio...
(5) Test your vitamin levels and harmones levels kidney & liver function test ..then Take vitamins & omega 3 fish oil...
(6) Stress management and gut friendly eating habit is necessary.... Because seborrheic dermatitis is linked to auto immune disease....👍👍👍✅✅✅

Hello experts
I am a constant follower of your channel and wish to visit you all as im about to go to Australia soon for my studies.
I have a question which is bothering me a lot, i had a repeat surgery for a humerus fracture which did not heal well and im worried if finasteride can slow or interfere with bone healing?
I would be really grateful if you answered my question and saved me from a lot of worrying
maybe you have answered this before, but is diffuse thinning a variety of Androgenetic Alopecia ? You read about conditions like hypo/hyperthyroidism & iron deficiency etc causing hairloss, are these very rare in reality?
Bro did you suffer from diffuse hair thinning and what is your condition right now.
Please reply if you are viewing this as you know the pain I am going through due to hairloss
I have a question that came to my mind and I don´t find information anywhere. If you have a hair that is getting weak but didn´ get to the point of no return yet, what happens if you pull it out? Does that hair follicle grow back again? If so, would it grow stronger (imagine you are stimulating hair growth), the same, weaker ..? or it would die.
Please, if you know the answer comment here. And maybe if you also wonder this give a like to this comment so the doctors get to see it. Thank you in advance
@@tagada7 Thank you for answering. I was thinking a little bit more about it and maybe my thought process was wrong from the beginning. My idea was that if you pull out a hair you would stimulate the generation of a new one, at least that's what happens in the body. You just don't lose your body hair by removing it assuming that your hair is not already dead. Just delay the creation of a new one. That's why I thought, if you remove a weak but still alive hair you stimulate the creation of a new one and maybe a better one? (Assuming you are in treatment).
Basically forcing the shedding.
I thought that you could save a dying hair before it reaches the point where there's nothing left to save. I might be wrong and I would like to know the scientific explanation in this case.
Been on Finasteride since 2017, If it was not for this magical drug i have been a bald guy.
You solved it simply sir..
Been on minx for five years now first two years give you good amount of hair then after less and less and it’s only slowing the process no side effects only headache for about 15 min after putting it and that’s it
any updates bro? :)
@@dennybrockmann9005 im still using minoxidil but minxodil when it lose effectiveness it will slow down your hair lose no more growing but slowing down the baldness
Does the gene for hair loss really turn off?
does Minoxidil cause Gynecomastia
did this occur to any of your patients in your practice
The cases of gynecomastia came from a desbalance in the hormone structure. Without the normal conversion of test to dht, the amount of test increases, wich is converted to estrogen and may cause increasement in fat and boobies. This is more likely to help in fat dudes, as the adipocit starts to produce feminine hormoneses as it gets multiplied.
Im thinking of starting at the end of the month because that's when I meet my dermatologist again . I told the doc I need fin and she said wait . Now I'm ready . I'm thinning and starting to see small bald spots . With fin hopefully I can stabilize the hair.
Now...how r your hair now?
Doc can also be use for facial hair?
So what if a guy takes finasteride for 10 years but his gene hair loss has stopped.. how would he know?? Just spending money on tough meds that he doesn’t need anymore... did I get it right ??
Hello Doctor, is this the same case with Dutasteride? Use it as long as we want to keep our hair?
When taking finasteride for 4 1/2 months Im still losing the same amount of hair in the shower or when you go to apply hair product like before I started finasteride, plus no gains in your hairline.
I figured by 3months I should have stop shedding and had progress on my hairline like everyone else.
Your experience is very helpful.
Thanks
ElectricDarkMatter007 the time differs for everyone. It might still be too early for you or your hair is still in its shedding phase.
Most go 6-12 months to see good results, unless you're experiencing side effects
Hey is it alright if you do a video on acell? I would like to know more about it's use in regrowing hair
A lot of people ask about cognitive risk, but it seems you keep ignore those. I also consider taking this, but as i read few researches it seems that dht and other things produced by 5 alpha play a role in brain functionality. What is your based opinion on this? Thank you

For guys who keep asking if it affects beared , my experience is it does I used it for four years daily 1mg...and stopped it for five months...my beard hair are stronger..earlier used to fall while washing..and that too some amount not a lot. Also have seen inceremet in the number and area where facial hair grows...I just think I was taking it too much ie 1mg everyday... that's why this happened. I am back at it with .5mg on alternative days
But it should reduce the beard and body hair if even it is affecting them in any way.because the same hormone that causes hairloss also causes growth of body hair

Hey Doctor Vikram, I was wondering if I should take Finastride if my hair loss is due to low ferritin levels?
no.
you need to get some iron in your alimentation (like in meat). Oral Medication is also possible but may causes abdominal pain/ diarrhea. If you are a men above a certain age, you may need exploration to see if you are seing digestive problems causing the low ferritine (don't want to scare you but possible colorectal cancer in SOME patient).
but you still need to check if it is really a low ferritine or if it Male patern baldness
Check with a competent Dermatologist/ your GP

Hi, Dr. I have kidney stone problem, can I take finasteride
Is it possible that post-finasteride syndrome is confused with the long time the drug remains on the skin? It is said that a simple dose of 1mg can remain on the skin for at least 30 days, so daily intake would lead to an over-accumulation in the body. In addition, it takes 3-6 months for the body to rid itself of the drug.
On the skin? You sure you aren't referring to topical finasteride?
do people still lose hair/go bald after taking finasteride for years?
@@tagada7 yup, that's right, for that reason you should do more than just take the pill. Fin is the base, but if you help that base (dermarolling, minoxidil, oils, PRP, etc) it will definitely help
I have been taking finasteride for 15 years. Lately, I have less libido and don't think about women och sex that much. I dont know if this is age or finasteride building up. I do know one thing for sure. When I try to stop finasteride. It takes just 3 weeks before my hair starts falling off, massively. So I panic and start taking it again. So I will never know if it's age or fin. I am 38 btw
Probably age my man. I don’t take finasteride but I can tell you just 10 years ago I’d try to screw anything that walked. It’s all part of growing up, shit sucks. Just remember, nailing chicks isn’t what makes us men... Hang in there dude

Masturbation causes the sensitivity of your hair follicles to DHT to rise. I don't care what anyone says

Just go to a dermatologist & get straight to the point about your hair loss issue. Tell him/her about getting your blood work done, so that they’ll prescribe finasteride/Propecia. At least that’s what I did. Should’ve had done it years ago, but I’m glad I got started at least. In my case, she recommended finasteride (Generic), but I mentioned about not taking the cheap route…I’d rather get the real deal…I don’t know…those generics are pretty cheap if you ask me. If I do something…I’m going all in 100%, not cutting corners or being cheap about it. But hey…I don’t know how important this issue might be for you so….yup

Hello sir, If I stop consuming finastride tablets after using that for only 15 days. Do I still experience hair loss. ?
Hi dr.
My question is if finasteride decrease libido, why don’t switch to use natural ingredientslike saw palmetto, biotin and other DHT blocker ingredients?
Saw Palmetto has the same adverse effect on libido biotin can't help with hormonal hairloss and once you block dht in anyway. It has a side effect like ED or lower libido and it doesn't happen in all cases.
Because natural ingredients don't address the underlying cause of hairloss, and other DHT blockers aren't FDA approved.
Natural remedies like saw palmetto and rosemary oil that decrease DHT do not decrease it at a severe enough level to stop male pattern balding
I was using natural remedies for long time and didn’t work. Just helped with dry scalp. I still use some of the oils but had to go on the prescription. Low vitamin D can make it worse so just make sure that’s good but I get blood tests all the time and even with good vitamin D levels my hair was still falling out. Runs in family
