- Like every third comment on my last video was "bro what did ur brother do to save his hair pls response." So naturally, as a gracious and benevolent leader, I provide for my people.
And in case you haven't seen the video of me talking about my own balding story, check it out here: • How rapid hair loss ch...
Obvious disclaimer: Everything expressed in this video is not a recommendation, just an opinion. If you are interested in being proactive about your hair loss -- consult a medical professional. Why would you listen to some goober who vaguely looks like me about what you should do about your hair loss?? Give your head a shake. smh
hey rude
@@DanSchweitzer I'm the first subscriber to your legendary youtube career.
Thank you
@@Maikeru64 LOL second 🙋🏾♂️
I guess my confusion has been who would I even see about this? "Consult a medical professional" - is the medical professional my Primary Care Physician? It seems sorta weird going to him for something like this.
Your brother is pretty decent storyteller! I would like to see some more stuff coming from him. I'm a big fan of yours, Joey, and it makes me happy to see you've got nice and talented family! Much love from Russia
Long term use of a medication that messes with your endocrine system is risky. Especially if you are young. I took propecia when I was in my late 20’s. My doctor tried to talk me out of it for the reason above. I ended up with weak erections and zero sex drive so I stopped taking it. I eventually just buzzed my hair down and excepted my baldness. Going bald can be devastating, and it has definitely effected my quality of life. I’m 48 now, and I will say that once you get older people mostly stop commenting about it and it bothers you less. I’m lucky enough to be married to a woman that accepts my imperfections.
I actually like the brother ideas thing. Bring him in more often lol.
As for hair loss, I personally have receding hairline, but it's actually bringing out the ridges in my skull which look damn good on their own. So for now I'm not worried. XD
he's not the only brother ideas
Speaking from experience and desperately trying to claw my way back from hair loss, it's best go ahead and at least get on fin now while you're still happy with what you have because its 1000 times easier to keep what you have than to try and regrow a hairline without a transplant.
By the time you start to worry about it and want to do something it will likely be too late, that's how it was for me. I was 20 and noticing that my hair was going but it still looked good it was just a "mature hairline".
Now at 23 I'm barely hanging on to something worth having on top and wishing I had started when I first noticed the problem. I think I can eventually get to where I'm happy but it's likely going to take another couple of years of treatment plus a transplant to get there.
Just something to consider
What do you mean by ridges?
@@JS-cf2li Yeah funnily enough, i'm 20, started slowly roughly 2 years ago. Literally isn't bad AT ALL like a norwood 1.5, just started fin like two weeks ago. Didn't wanna be in denial like most people and i'm not looking back.
@@Zakkary good move
Thanks man. I started taking it maybe too late, after much, much worrying. I like how this ends. Appreciate you taking the time
I just wanted to say that, the content you make is really good and altruistic. If you see this comment, I just wanted to know that we all appreciate the work that you're doing. It's truly helping us all. Thank you.
I got on finasteride recently after being terrified of the potential side effects. I'd been shaving my head for probably 4 years by the time I got on it, about a NW4. I didn't and don't mind being bald, but the common statement "nobody cares but you" isn't really true. It's true that people aren't obsessing about it the same way you are, but they also don't obsess over whether their friends are overweight or ugly, either. And there's plenty of evidence that bald people are considered less attractive, and that attractive people are treated better than unattractive people, even apart from the dating world where, especially with OLD, looks are (almost) everything.
After a pretty hellish year, I started getting my life together a bit and decided it might be worth looking into a hair transplant and seeing how it goes. I didn't understand exactly how the process worked, but after a consultation, they basically said that it's not a great idea to get a transplant without getting on finasteride and minoxidil, because while the transplanted hairs won't shed, the rest of your hair will continue to fall out and make the transplant look unnatural, because there's a limited amount of hair you can transplant, and that amount isn't enough to fully cover your scalp if your natural scalp hair all falls out. And if I'm going to get on fin/minox, it makes sense to wait some time to see how effective they are so that the limited donor hair can be better rationed while creating a decent hairline. So, I got on fin/minox, felt fine, then about 2 weeks onto fin I read stuff online about how the side effects can be permanent (dubbed "post finasteride syndrome" or PFS), even after using the drug for only a short time. I was terrified, because while I did want my hair back, I wouldn't permanently trade my sexual function for hair. It started to get into my head and sure enough, I started to have pretty severe sexual dysfunction, whereas previously I had no issues whatsoever. I spent a lot of time looking online for information on whether PFS was real. I was skeptical but still terrified of the possibility. I read through every pubmed article I could find on finasteride permanent side effects, and the information seemed to be conflicting. After sifting through a lot of fear mongering websites and posts, I came across videos from a channel on UA-cam, haircafe, and I bingewatched the videos on finasteride repeatedly for weeks. The guy goes through all the available research, including the research funded by the PFS foundation, and basically debunks the existence of PFS. I highly recommend anyone considering finasteride to check out his videos. He can be a bit of an abrasive character but if you can get past that, he is really a no-nonsense guy who wants to help people save their hair. There's a lot to debunk with PFS, but at a high level, here are some key points:
* Lots of people take finasteride. It's in the top 100 most prescribed drugs in the world. Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common medical issues men face, especially as they age. Some people who take finasteride will develop sexual dysfunction because of the medication, but some people will also develop sexual dysfunction for reasons entirely unrelated to the medication. If you develop sexual dysfunction while on finasteride for reasons unrelated to finasteride, stopping finasteride will not fix the sexual dysfunction, because finasteride never caused the sexual dysfunction. This is why the thousands of anecdotal reports of post finasteride syndrome are essentially worthless on their own without further research to back them up.
* PFS foundation-funded studies that attempt to demonstrate the existence of post finasteride syndrome are all post hoc studies. They recruit people who already believe themselves to have PFS (ie sexual dysfunction, certain mental issues, ...) and then compare them to a control of healthy people (who don't have sexual dysfunction, mental issues, ...) who never took finasteride. Then the studies show that the PFS group is different from the control. Well, yeh, obviously -- you selected a group of people with certain issues and compared them to people who don't have those issues. This doesn't show anything at all.
* The actual large scale clinical trials required by the FDA (as part of the most rigorous medication approval process in the world) show no evidence of post finasteride syndrome. PFS advocates often point out that there were people from the studies on finasteride who developed sexual dysfunction that did not recover upon cessation of the drug, but they fail to mention that there were just as many people in the control (ie taking a sugar pill) who developed persistent sexual dysfunction. This is because of what I already stated above, that some people will develop medical conditions while on a medication that aren't related to the medication itself, for the same reason that people develop medical conditions all the time when not on any medication. PFS advocates also point out that the studies were sponsored by Merck, the manufacturer of the drug, but this is how literally all drugs are tested. The company developing the drug must pay for the clinical trials in order to get FDA approval. The FDA approval process is extremely rigorous, and includes long term trials that continue after the drug becomes publicly available, that routinely result in drugs being pulled from the market 5 years after becoming available due to previously unknown side effects. This hasn't happened with finasteride after 30 years. PFS advocates also point out that the warning label was changed about 10 years ago from something like "side effects will go away for all men who discontinue use" to "side effects will go away for men who discontinue use" without the "all". This on the surface seems like Merck is admitting that side effects can be permanent, but really what they're doing is avoiding potential litigation. People have been trying to sue Merck for PFS and Merck is trying to avoid dealing with those lawsuits. There is no medical or scientific justification for the removal of "all", it was only done to avoid lawsuits.
* The actual incidence of sexual side effects is even lower than the 3% from the video. The numbers from the large scale trials were something like 2% for finasteride users vs 1% for control, which is a significant increase, but will still only affect 1% of men who wouldn't otherwise experience sexual dysfunction. The longer you stay on the drug, the lower the incidence of side effects as they generally resolve on their own. For those who it doesn't, most can resolve the issue by halving or quartering the dose they take, which will still do a good amount for your hair without the side effects. The largest problem with the side effects is that sexual function is largely a mental problem, and so is very susceptible to the nocebo effect, where if you believe a medication will do something bad, you tend to experience that negative side effect, the opposite of the placebo effect (which is for positive effects). Related to the nocebo effect, if you believe PFS exists, you are much less likely to recover from any sexual side effects (real or nocebo'd) after quitting finasteride, because you truly believe that there is a reason you are experiencing those side effects.
So I got over my fears and sure enough, the nocebo effect I'd experience subsided quickly. I feel great and I'm excited that I'm finally taking action and doing something to prevent further hair loss, and getting a transplant to undo the damage that already happened because of putting off action for too long. I doubt many people will see this comment but if even one person does and it assuages their fears about finasteride enough to get on it, it was worth writing. The earlier you get on finasteride and minoxidil, the less likely it is that you'll ever need a hair transplant to get back a full hairline. I'm at the point where even with the meds and the transplant, I won't be getting a full NW0 hairline because I need to conserve some of my donor hair for potential future transplants if my hair continues to recede. Don't be like me, take action as soon as you notice it's happening to you. It's possible to be happy and accepting of yourself without your hair, definitely, but a full head of hair will almost definitely improve your attractiveness compared to being bald or thinning, which in turn will improve how people treat you, your dating options, and your overall quality of life.
I am taking 0.5mg of fin every other day and i am feeling food with it!!! Whats your thoughts about this dude?
I do exercise daily as well like playing football
@@cr7sfansclub354 I started with that but after not getting sides for 2 weeks I moved to 1mg per day and I’ve been on that for just over a month with no noticeable sides as of yet
@@cr7sfansclub354 I'm not an expert, but I think the ideal is to work up to a max of 1mg/day if you can get there without sides. So maybe try upping it to 0.5mg every day and see if you do ok after a few weeks. If you start to experience sides, you can always go back to every other day, or if you don't experience sides, you can try doing 1mg one day and 0.5mg the next, and if that goes ok, move up to 1mg/day. Finasteride definitely has diminishing returns, so it's not like your dose (1/2 the typical dose 1/2 as often) is doing only 1/4 as much, it might be doing 1/2 or 3/4 as much as the full dose, but it might be worth trying getting to the normal prescribed dose if you can do it without sides as this will be most effective. But at the end of the day, if you feel most comfortable staying with what you're doing, that's way better than getting freaked out about sides and quitting the medication altogether. Good luck
@@voskresenie- thank you dude
@@voskresenie- are you stilll on finasteride and what is your dose? I saw your results amazing
I am personally not afraid of being bald. The only reason I try everything to maintain my hair is simply because, man I look good with hair, I look younger and healthier. If you have options use them!!! Who said you're going to live on this planet for the next 40 years, you may die tomorrow or in 10 years.
This ONE WIERD TRICK just happens to be the most common treatment for mpb, but that’s none of my business.
6:06 "I've come a long way from being almost bald" - Bro you were NW2 to begin with, that's a pretty big overstatement
look at his brothers and family history of balding before the age of 25. He was probably on that track.
Yay! Another one of my fave dudes.... love you Schweitzers. dang. and I'm really losing my hair... I've had Finasteride sitting in my cupboard for 6 years... probably should have taken it 6 years ago... Not like I need any more kids!!! (last check it was at 5, not that that should impress you guys ;) Anyhow, love the new channel, and love Brother ideas!
It's never too late haha, your hair seems to be fine but fin can make it look a lil better and maintain it
It doesn't really affect fertility through
There are men who had kids without stopping finasteride (not advisable but a 1 month break would do it just fine)
Interesting tidbit: BPH is often caused by the same exact hormone (DHT) as Male Pattern Baldness. Hence why the main mechanism of action of Finasteride and it’s stronger brother is to lower DHT.
All i've got is tears at this point. It's actually hard for me to accept. But... it is what it is
That hit pretty hard... :( I've been in the same boat with you man... For almost 5 years now it seems. It started when I was 19. I noticed my hairline was going up and it was enough cause for me to panic. I'm now almost 24 and it's gotten a lot worse and never better. But my mental state and dread seems go be doing better dealing with it. There are days where I stopped caring and feel confident. And other days where I revert back to that dread. But I know its getting better and I think that's the most important part. Acceptance and self love. It's easier said than done because I'm still struggling. But I know the both of us and other people in our situation will get there. So chin up, man. There's so many more factors that goes on to making a person

After shaving my head my confidence is actually higher than when I had hair. I feel great, look great, and wish i shaved it sooner.
If you're good looking with hair, then you'll be good looking without it.
And if anyone doesn't like you for something as superficial as not having hair, then you dodged a bullet my friend. Much love
YO ARE SUPER CHILL! LOVE IT! GREAT VIDEO.....ALL OF US FEEL LIKE YOU!
Great stuff. We want to see more of the two brothers, perhaps together?
I was unlucky to not being blessed with a round head so I can't pull off a bald look. However, I'm lucky that I have not yet experienced any side effect from Fin yet after 7+ years taking it. Knock on woods that it stays that way. Cheers to all the balding bros out there!
What's the dose and when did u start seeing improvement?
@@yesiamsahil 1Mg a month
Same boat as you brother.
Terrible head for a bald look, but been on Fin for about 6 years with no real sides to speak of.
Still holding out hope for an actual cure 😆 a boy can dream
🙌
@@bonkling How has the fin been working? I’m considering taking it for receding hairline. I think I’m at about the same stage he showed us in the video of his receding hairline. Thanks!
Mate - appreciate the honesty here
I've embraced the baldie look in 2016 and never looked back. There's pretty much no hair growth left in the middle part of my head and it starts to look so awful if I let it grow, so I always shave it (or rather trim it to the lowest setting - I don't like the clean-shaven head much).
This video made me think for a second whether I should try to get my hair back, but 1) even when I still had hair, I wasn't particularly proud of it or anything, and 2) there's a comment by someone having side effects using Finasteride, so I'll just leave it. Thanks for the insight, Daniel!
I have been taking finasteride for 3 years and I regret It. My hair has kept falling off and I have had several side effects. I am stopping taking It now.
@@ericdraven3654 the only side effects I had faced are man boobs and nothing else!
@@ericdraven3654 try rogaine. It's just an external spray/creme. No nasty side effects.
@@ericdraven3654 how are you now, Eric? Could you please elaborate a bit on the side effects you are talking about if you don't mind? Asking because I am thinking about taking it for my hair loss.
@@AmandeepSingh-xn3md lack of sex drive, mainly, but that might have to do with other issues, I dont know. Anyway, I am taking It every other day and I have not noticed any deterioration or any other change and a little feel better about my sex drive but It might be psichological. Besides, I am 41 so if you are younger you might not have this problem.
I took finasteride for years and it gave me some side effects. The worse being prostate swelling and pain and testicular pain both when I began, and randomly in the middle of treatment. After meeting with doctor they told me to stop. It’s been over a year now and my hair hasn’t really fallen out since then. No idea why it stopped, the only thing I do different is massage my head nightly, eat a healthier diet(no processed, anti-inflammatory), take collagen, stopped using hair spray and high heat, and exercise more. The pain I experienced on the drug wasn’t constant and came and went for a period of one to two days, and didn’t experience it for a few months in between. A couple times it was bad enough to prevent me from sleeping, especially when the prostate was enlarged and I felt tightness, heat, and tension in my inner groin toward the rear. I didn’t want to stop the drug because I am a vain person, but I was worried about permanent damage, so that’s why I quit.
try 1mg 3x/week. If you can tolerate it (u probably can) it will still give you great results
it didnt give you man boobs. man boobs is purely fat. if you think you have gyno, thats a growing lump and not the same thing as fatty boobs
@@sotir_zvani_djubre I was answering the op
@Ri1 Um no I don’t think so, maybe I’m in the minority and am sensitive to this treatment. I updated my comment to remove the man boobs as that was never for certain since I gained weight in that period, the others were experienced and I haven’t had them since a week after I stopped over a year ago.
@@sotir_zvani_djubre 1mg once a day
Nice video first of all. The big three of might save you from a nightmare. I had way less hair when i was 22. Was worried about the sides as well and didn't start using medication till now. I'm now 25 and things arent going well. In my case i shouldve started using when i was 20.
I honeslty thought that this ''One Wierd Trick'' will be something new and different, but you just told us the most common treatment for MPB (or Androgenetic Alopecia) that the humanity knows...
yeah its clickbait
And he implying that he took it once and just cancel balding and now he dont taking anything? Is it works like that?
@@anonimous9940 works for some people
I seriously don’t have the right head shape to pull off the bald look. Thanks for the info.
Wow the face looks so similar :D very easy to see they’re brothers
I also heard that finasteride can also cause depression and as somebody whose battled on and off for years, it doesn’t sound worth it. But I really don’t want to go bald😥
Yea I was depressed but justo cut the pill in half and Take every other day
@@stevenaguirre5830 Is it still effective that way? What dose do you take?
@@kcirtapelyk6060 very .5 and 1 mg have pretty much identical DHT blocking percentage and every other day will minimize risk. good luck.
@@stevenaguirre5830n the end same amount of DHT gets blocked so you will experience the same amount and intensity of side effects you will get on 1mg each day, IF u get them
If you want a real alternative: Carnivore diet and homemade kefir.
People will call it stupid, I say try it first.
Most people have a bad diet and even the diets often recommended as healthy are in reality terrible.
At the same time your gut biome is incredibly important for hormonal and overall health. Kefir is really the best and actually proven probiotic out there.
Finasteride and minoxidil saved my youth 🙏🏼
Re: Finasteride
I’m kinda worried about the gynecomastia side affect though. Have you noticed anything at all
Try gynecomastia hiding inner vests
I have mild gynecomastia from my teens
(genetical since my father also has gyno but less than me)
From what I've researched we have the same chances of our gyno worsening as people with no gyno have developing it in the first place.So it doesn't make us more prone
However zinc combats estrogen and is great for testosterone
So zinc supplements will help both of us
Some people suggested to check prolactin and estrogen levels, high levels means higher probability of getting gyno from fin.
the thing is , if u stop taking the drug, hair loss will come back and taking finsateride for long term can put that 3% chance into acceleration. thats what i think. i am saying this cause i am 20 and i am losing my hair but i have a good amount of hair. and i can just get minoxidil and propecia and keep my hair . but the only reason i like my hair is because i think it makes me look better and once hair is gone girls wont like me. but the thing stopping me from taking drug is. this hair loss has put me in depression and trauma that, and if i go through it i coud possibly turn pain into something that is goonna make me fearless and a true Man.
you need to get your research right before you start making any decisions. Propecia is finasteride, Propecia is the brand and finasteride is the drug. So it doesn't matter which brand you choose, finasteride is finasteride and the thing that matters is the dosage. For hair loss you want to take no more than 1mg, the side effects are rare and a not a lot of long term studies have been done so your best bet is to ask around from people who have actually taken propecia or any other finasteride for a long time.
@@phee3D mate u need to do ur research cause ur lacking behind. most people that have taken finasteride have stoppped doing it. my uncle got headaches and other problems. he even got a hair transplant but its all a marketing scheme and money . if ur hair is going it is gooing. most men will suffer . its normal. and u people act like dugs are normal blah . stfu honestly u know nothing. the sideefffects are disastorous. its based on a long term study fyi
If it’s about girls, then bro your looks don’t really matter if you have a Lamborghini. You can be fine as hell and a ugly mf with a Lamborghini with have more girls than you and that’s facts
I always ask this, and I never get an answer. How long will you decide to keep doing this, is there an age where you will say, Im done. Im done with the maintenance of microneedling and the drugs regularly 30, 40, 50. Or just do it forever?
Depends
A young guy would want to keep his hair till he becomes 30~ then baldness would be more accepted for his age and he would have also had time to enjoy his hair, go to dates ect.
Personally I would start finasteride in about a week (I am 21) and I will continue treatment for about 1-3 years when until a new treatment arrives (there are some treatments in development)
Then I will change finasteride for the new treatment and I will keep doing this until baldness is officially cured either through hair cloning or topicals that regenerate hair through stem cells in the scalp

I think it's best to microneedle in the evening after shower before going to sleep
I tried finasteride, I honestly took 1 pill and I did notice side effects, watery semen erection wasn’t as hard as I knew I could get I would say about 80 percent strong. Testicular pain, and did have bad headaches the first week after taking the pill. I stopped because the side effects were right away. The craziest thing was I was significantly a lot more in the mood. It take some time to get back to normal after taking the pill, i advice to get blood work done first, I wanted to do it but I was impatient and just went for it, but always check with your doctor first to see if you are prone to side effects you’ll never have your baseline levels again although you feel “normal”
find your dose

Bro, it really helped
Tnx
Why is he saying he wouldnt worry about it, isnt he still on meds? Or magically course of meds stopped hairloss permanently?
What do you think about the topical version of finastride?
Do you still do these processes daily? and did you have any side affects in the end? Thanks 😊
Do you still using minoxidil?
So did he stop taking it now or is still taking it.? Sorry if I missed anything from the video ? Because as far as i know stopping it causes your hair to start falling out eventually. Like being back to normal.
yh it does, im pretty sure as long as you want to have hair you have to take it
I mean he's definitely still taking it, at least when this video was posted. It's something you're going to have to keep using for good
You need to keep taking until a better treatment hits the market
That could be next year or in 2 or 3
In my opinion I just feel like it’s so against nature to limit a certain hormone in your body such as dht. I just can’t see that having absolutely no side effects
Dht destroy ur prostate and ur hair whats benefits have
Why worry it’s the same reason you worried about it!!!

Brother ideas 👍🏻
Bro how many months you notice the results ?
I had ED before taking finasteride due to a car accident.
Nowadays Im on Fin and taking Tadalafil, 5mg 2x a week and it's harder than it was in my younger teenage years.
So if thats the only side-effect that people are worried about, just get some Tadafil.
As an older guy you're gonna need it anyways.
Edit:Meant for ppl watching this kek obviously not a recommendation, but yeah, this combination works wonders.
How old are u
You’re taking finasteride 5mg twice a week? I hope not. You should take 1mg daily.
I wish I could have one of those products here..love from Tonga
I started fin 5 months ago, have sides but they seem to slowly be deminshing
I was taking propecia for about 2years but recently i stopped. Cuz I find it ridiculous to hold back my hair naturally going away by taking an artificial medicine. If it makes sense. Now I'm willing to be a bald guy. Maybe in 5years.
Hope you don’t regret that choice my friend did the same and now he’s looking into hair systems
@@JacksCreates Thank you haha

It's not too bad to be bald
Chan be the type of guy to be like "I find it ridiculous to hold back the raising of blood pressure/viral growth/bacterial infection in my body by taking an artificial medicine. If that makes sense I am willing to die in near future"
No chan it is not ridiculous it is just a choice you have if you like your hair.
@@Jaiyro don’t knock the guy because he doesn’t want to take a drug that’s meant to shrink a 60 year olds prostate. Popping pills at 20 years old that fuck with your endocrine system is a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly, and long term use of finasteride as a young man comes with risks. People think they are indestructible at 20 and then all of the sudden they are 45 with ED, no sex drive and a shriveled up shrimp dick….and they wonder why.
Thanks. Nice story. Wish I still had hair. Been shaving the head for over 30 years. I tried Rogaine when it first came out but nothing happened. Don't have sex, so the ED wouldn't be a problem. Regards from Indiana!
i take 1mg of finasteride a day and just wanna say that the only side effects i have noticed are some mild gyno. my hair has stopped falling out and i have slight regrowth, i will take gyno over being bald any day.
cant say I've experienced that. I'm micro dosing (.5 mgs every other day) and only have a bit of brain fog. no decrease in the benefits. maybe lower the dose once you feel like you're in a good enough place.
The main reason I'm not on finasteride is due to the possibility that I might have trouble retaining muscle mass. Any experience with this?
DHT isn’t involved with muscle growth, testosterone is. And because fin blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT, your testosterone levels are slightly higher on it. Not enough to cause a difference but it won’t hurt your gains
Considering the literal Mr Olympia takes it I don’t think you have anything to worry about
@@GuyIncognitoIV DHT levels feedbacks back to testosterone production and androgen sensitivity.
Endocrine disruptors of any kind can majorly mess up your body.
It could increase your testosterone temporarily or long-term, or crash it, crash it when you go off or slowly reduce it.
You really can't predict it.
I haven't experienced that. Most people on here haven't tried it and are just fear-mongering. I've been on a 0.5mg every other day microdose and have received all of the benefits with no sides. just my experience though.
Couldn't find "The weird trick" in this video...am I missing something?
Finasteride is just the most common thing, just waiting for the weird trick man
Does your brother have a channel ?
The Doctor found that my Iron Ferritin levels were very low. Everyone get your iron levels checked.
I am 56 years old woman. For the last two years I am using 5 drops of rosemary oil per day. It took two years. My hairline is fine now. I have fine dry hair and my father gone bald before age of 35.
Possible for women, your a female so you have less DHT.
What brand of rosemary oil?
@@jlim18 I am using "In Essence" brand Rosemary Pure Essential Oil 8ml. I live in Australia if you are American you can find some other good brands or buy organic oil. Rosemary oil is super cheap in general
@@youngchristie5188 this is the only thing that worked in my case. My hair now shoulder length and finally no bolding spot on the top of my hair. I use round comb to massage a little every day.. rosemary oil and nothing else. Any shampoo... I like Schwartzcopf but any other will do. I don't wash them often.
Maybe because ur women get well with u but for men its genetic destroying hair inside we cant solve that by putting rosemary on hair .
thanks, good video
If i shave my head every 2 weeks for 2 years will the hair grow same like mustache
thankfully im 32 and just now starting to notice my hairloss.
I’m confused is he still using Finasteride and Minoxidil or not
I believe he is using both
Brother ideas 🤔
Sounds good to me !!!
Finasteride actually has been used for more than decade for stop men balding,
So actually there is nothing new here,
And you might also consider saw palmetto herbs for the better result and less side effects...to substitute finasteride or at least reduce finas addicted ...
"Capable in the basement department"... I mean most people do it in the bedroom, but whatever floats your boat I guess
My hair has always been thin and shitty so the loss is not that big of a deal. I’m 40 now and lucky enough to just have a receding hairline.
When I was 24 I noticed my hairline was going. At 25, doing a self-checkout at the grocery store, I noticed my crown was thinning on the CCTV monitor. I grew out my beard, bought clippers, buzzed my scalp down to with 1 guard and never looked back. It's been a year and I've come to appreciate the look. If/when it starts getting patchier, thinner, or fully bald on the crown, I'll just do the full shave. If you have a decent head-shape you'll be fine. Beard complements it well, too.
Yeah man I would do the same if I would actually have a decent head shape. Unfortunately I don't so to me a hairtransplant seems to be the only reasonable decision.
@@jusalbanicae184 Just wondering, have you tried buzzing your hair or doing a full shave in the past? I used to worry about the same thing, as did a couple of my good friends, and they were pleasantly surprised when they took the gamble. I only ask because hair transplants can be pricey.
However, if you are in a place to afford it and you'd prefer it, go for it man.
@@doorsfan173 I have shaved my head many years ago in hope of stimulating new hair growth and it looked as bad as I imagined. I have a flat back head and it just looks awful. On top of that I started using topical Minoxidil 5% but due to a skin condition I have, I got real bad side effects like chest pain, itching, dizziness and nausea. It seems I am doomed lol. Currently a hairtransplant seems to be my only way out. Although I will look into other possibilities.
@@jusalbanicae184 I'm sorry you've had such a rough go of it man, I'm wishing you the best and hope you find a solution that works for you!
@@doorsfan173 thanks man. Much appreciated!
Wait so did Daniel stop taking these stuff
I used to take finasteride, 1 pill a day for 5-6 months as per doctor said. Now my erection is not as hard as before, probably 70-75% of what it was earlier. I already stopped taking it 6 months ago, but the problem still exist. And u know what my hair is still falling, especially after I stopped taking finasteride and Biotin tablets.
I believe, u could still go with biotin, but no finasteride.
You got a huge nocebo effect. Its all in your head. The chance of Getting permanent side effects is so freaking low.
Joey what your relationship goals and what your type of girl ??
Simping?🌝
Anyone reading this that has had a history of depression and anxiety should stay away from finasteride. You have to be honest with yourself, and trust me the drug can wreck your life. I am not against the drug at all by the way. Consider taking the drug topically at low doses. This seems to work, and is far less damaging to one's mental state.
I follow 3 path finasteride + good diet, rest + exercise head stand etc no oil , noi shampoo
The side effects of finasteride are way overblown. It's mostly the nocebo effect and any remaining probability can be further nullified by reducing the dosage to 3x/week, instead of 7x/week while maintaining all the benefits.
If you’re 20 or 70 you may not notice fin sides. But if your 30 or 40 you’re gonna notice the fin sides. If you’re at all perceptive about your body.
Also work to female?
life become so easy, if fins has no side effects
I can use finastride but it's only problem is sexual side effects
wohooo Brother Ideas
tbf it looks the same?
Worth a shot
That part of my life is pretty dead anyways lol
Your fam is insanely mature mentally (and older looking;)) ❤
Okay so the only way to prevent balding is perscription medication... Cool cool
Just go to your doctor and ask for it ain’t that hard
@@andytheawesomeness it's not that expensive either
Yes
amazing thank you
Brother's ideas freaking hacked your account im telling joey
omg how do we tell joey
The finale was hypocritical. You did it to look good to other people, don't deny it.
and he still doing it most likely. I never heard about any meds 1 сourse of which would stop hair loss permanently. That would be a holy grail of hairloss medicine and everyone would know about it.
So he only took it for 24 months?
I think he still uses it.. I think it stops working when you'll stop taking it?
He still uses it
Finesteride
Guys quit wacking off if you wanna keep your hair!
No
I had the worst she'd of my life during 2 months of no fap
I would suggest not flapping whilst taking an anti hairloss medication
Hopefully it work me even though I’m 52 years old thanks
Finasteride, you get the girls because of the great hair, but you can't do anything with them because of the side effects?!
I mean, the side effects are a small percentage of an even smaller percentage... but, yeah, pp go soft
eh ive been on it for 6 months and hair looks much better, had 0 side affects maybe im just lucky :)
Thanks for your honesty! id rather go bald than risking the chance of not having kids haha!
It’s not that lol. Not having erections is the side effect.
@@moonlightfitz but it's a really rare side effect and it's almost unnoticable
@@moonlightfitz lmao 🤣 either way, I’m good!
i would def trade being sterile for having a full head if erections were guaranteed
@@bojangles5232 saame
More Brother Ideas, please. Thanks.
I don't trust drugs. I'd rather be bald tbh. 🤷♂️
