Aames' Dutasteride Log

[Soxfaninfl]

I just do them both together. One group in the morning, one before sleep.
Here are baseline pics:

First one is how I style my hair to hide my recession. Last one is damp and slicked back. Please ignore any white dots, I'm not an unhygenic bastard, it's just spiro. Anyone want to give me a NW evaluation?

Ames, that is the key to start early on fin/DUT. I started early, and I have a full head of hair. My hairline is still the same it was before I started to lose my hair. Hopefully you won't suffer sides like me. I wish you luck!

[Aames]

Finished my topical spiro tonight. I don't think I'm going to order anymore. Not sure it did all that much and it makes my hair look greasy and see-through. If I do get it, it'll probably only be used on the temples. Anyway, here's my wet pictures that make it a lot easier to see my loss. After reviewing these, I'm glad I started duta. I hadn't realized how bad my crown was getting as I was so focused on hairline. I just hope my stuff is legit. I was expecting some major ball ache (had it the first three days of fin) but what I got was barely noticeable. Libido is down but it comes and goes anyway with my depression. Hopefully my blood test will confirm in a month.

[Aames]

Don't ask bodybuilding.com if you're receding. They think a NW3 is fine - since they're basically just plebs who don't care about fashion or aesthetics outside of weightlifting.

By the way, where are the photos of your wet hair?

Yeah, definitely learned my lesson. The amount of idiots there is staggering. I'll post the pics up in like 5 hours or so after I shower.

[Aames]

It looks like your not balding, but pictures dont mean that much. You have to be missing 50 percent density before its noticeable to others is what my derm said. You cant regrow hair as of today so I mean take that for what it is. Its hard to argue whether being that paranoid and taking drastic action early is good or bad. Given current treatments you dont have many options other then catch it early or let nature run its course.
I cant wait for another few years when I hope CB 03 01 can save us from this hormonal mess finasteride forces us into. Topically has always been the answer not these dangerous meds.

Yes, you can. It isn't easy but it can happen if you lost the hair in question remotely recently. I'm also looking forward to CB, once they figure out a proper vehicle.

Let us know if you notice differences in shedding Aames. I did not expect to notice any difference in the first few months but my shedding seemed to almost completely stop in the first week....like, below the amount I would expect from even a person with no MPB.
It could (should?) just be a coincidence though.....I fail to see how dut could have any effect on me this early

IDK man, some people claim really quick results with dut. I've seen some people claim that they mega-dosed at 2.5 mg per day for the first month and got incredible results. I'm hoping to notice a decrease in shedding like you did.

You've got a nice hairline, Aames. If you know hairloss is coming then it makes sense to get on something to prevent it before you lose anything. I'm 100% certain that is what all the other image conscious celebrities and rock stars are doing.

Thanks, brah. Yeah, I'm just desperate to stop it now as I plan on being a student for at least another 6 years, so I won't be able to afford a good HT anytime soon.

That kid Justin Bieber is definitely taking something. I remember he used to combover his hair, as if trying to hide something, but now he doesn't, maybe propecia regrew it. Now Selena Gomez also left him, that was perhaps because taking propecia made him impotent too!

You realize that break-ups occur for different reasons other than propecia-related impotence, right?

Agreed.

Everyone trying to be comforting saying that you don't have hair loss isn't doing you any favors, in real life, on this forum, or otherwise.

I probably lost half a NW due to people denying my hairloss, my own initial denial included.

I know this feeling all too well. My family thinks I'm crazy but when every other male in my family is bald, it's not exactly a stretch to believe that I have MPB. I wish I would have gotten on fin or duta a year ago when I first asked bodybuilding.com if my hairline was receding.

This thread is the pinnacle of trolling.

Taking fin is one thing, but Dut? You're literally insane.
You'll probably be one of those guys who denies he has side effects too, even to himself.
In a year you could be naked in bed with kate upton and probably not get it up.

Have fun with that, buddy.

Kate Upton is a refrigerator. The only woman I would be upset if I couldn't get it up for is Lights. She is my HBB and the only woman on earth I would white-knight.

I am on dut and fin both right now

Aames, your hair looks good, but I think I see your point of concern. People told me I was crazy to think my hair was thinning but when it's your hair that you wash, style, comb every day....you just know when something isn't right.
Good luck!

Thanks mate, I'm following your duta progress thread as well. Can't wait to see how things turn out for you.

i once couldnt get it up with kate upton due to drugs,funny eh?

Aames,is it a life like that worthy i mean if you look at all the treatments you take,you spend all your day with you and your hair.How old are you?

I do understand why you are doing it.

I am guessing are hoping to stop it happening before it can happen as you want to maintain a strong, youthful hairline through out your younger years in life. They do say that prevention is better than cure.

However, Dutasteride is very strong stuff.

Thanks for understanding. I don't want to have to get a HT if I can avoid it.

Hey bro, just take pics in VERY bright lighting to prove your point. Bright lighting normal hides all the little hairs that make your hair appear darker and fuller.

I remember a few years ago I told my barber that my hair looks like it's thinner than before around the temples and I think I'm probably going bald. I had so much thick densely packed hair that he looked at me in a funny way and said 'you must be joking, your hair is fine.. I can't tell you're losing hair'. Another barber said 'oh that's normal for men, it's just you're getting a mature hairline'.

The hair on the edges of my temple were starting to go back similar to yours. Deep down I knew that I was inevitable going to bald since all the males in my family tree start balding in their late 20s. Bottom line is nobody knows your hair more than you.

I wish I would have done something about it a few years ago to maintain that super dense NW0 look. I was naive to trust a barber, but I thought they were the 'hair experts' lol. Do what you think is best, because once you start losing a lot of ground you'll wish you did something about it earlier.

Exactly how my family reacts when I mention my hair loss. There's just no way I'm waiting to be a NW3 before I start treating it. I know I have it, it's stupid not to.

He knows and posted his pics for this very reason. To get some validation and some attention.

Why don't you just GTFO my thread? I've been nothing but nice to you every time I've seen you post and you come in here and spread your negativity. I didn't make this thread for validation, I made it to hopefully display duta's temple regrowth ability and as a place to track my progress. You're just another jackass who failed to catch his hair-loss earlier and hates on anyone treating it in its early stages.


This goes for anyone criticizing me. I spent all of my high school years fat. Never kissed a girl until age 19 because of this. For the first time in my life, I am realizing that I have great aesthetic potential and that, now that I've lost the weight, I have a pretty attractive face. I cannot allow my hair-loss to destroy my looks. My whole life would have been a waste then. This is why I'm taking the risk of taking duta.

i think most guys on this forum would be happy to have hair as thick as yours , i know i would be , your just wasting money on medication that you dont need
