I reversed my hair loss without Finasteride

[Aames]

Awesome pics. Great hair. Looks thick. Dense. Unreceded. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' NW0, dense, luscious, and non-miniaturized your hair can get. Thanks for the motivation.

Really interesting post, man. . I really don't wanna go down the fin route and I'm 22 and have done nothing to tackle balding yet. Really doing alot of research to go about things naturally, I gather its best to do this first rather than use fin.

What would you recommend me doing first?

Samdee, great post! Any chance I can email you? I have some questions... Congratulations on your successes

[samdee]

I wanted to ask the same thing in my initial post. But he looked so happy about his results that I did not want to look like i'm questioning his results.

But yes, Samdee, I think if you show pics you would definitely show those who are iffy about going natural that they can go natural with success and they don't need Fin. It would be greatly appreciated.

Na ma, I understand why HL people are so spectacle, you got every right to ask for pics. I am going to get pics I live in NY now and the pics are in Canada. I will be putting some pics up soon.

Yes, you are young and you are at the stage in your life where inflimation and be the prime culprit in your HL. Emu oil is definitely worth a shot.

I apply a little on my hairline once a night before sleep.. I miss a day on average, once a week. I put on minox, then emu oil. After time, little blonde hairs sprout. At first, they portray rather spaztic growth behaviour(I assume the motor of the follicle is undergoing a repair process). Given time, they underdo a normal growing process(as well as correct color pigment). This process keeps repeating itself over time. It's quite interesting.

Thanks for the reply man. Will check out emu oil

Could you go into detail about your daily regiment? You've definitely peeked my curiosity...

Great. I think i got motivated to really do my due diligence when I started seeing results, that gave me confidence. So I suggest you start off easy.

I look at it as a 3 way fight.
1) inhibiting DHT at the scalp level and reducing inflammation at the scalp level
2) Blocking conversation of T to DHT (As well, increasing the health of my hair not necessarily geared to things that stop hairloss specifically, like biotin)
3) Eating healthy, you are what you eat. I think people will begin to learn that food plays a greater role than we think and

it requires a much greater discipline to implement. I mean, why change the way you eat and live your life when you can just pop a pill and stay as fat as you wish.

It's quite simple. Start with Emu, apply it once a night. Then, I take about 500mg of Black Tea(not sure, I have to double check). Then Nettles ... and just keep adding. Try to patient.

Every night before sleep, I apply 5%Minox, I pop one or two of each pill, then I apply the Emu oil.

The problem with what i'm doing is that I can't pin point what is doing the magic. However, it could be the group effort.

I wish i documented my process correctly. I can definitely look for pics. I coud get pics of my younger years and get a pic of now.

Wow. Impressive regime. May have to take a leaf out of your book as I also want to avoid finasteride as I am 21 and the sides scares me. Thanks for sharing. Just wondering how do you take nettle leaf/nettle root and what emu oil do you use/how do you use it?

I don't know, a lot of that stuff has been tried by others before with little to no results. Perhaps you are just a great responder, who knows. Good for you though!

Perhaps, but I think it's safe to say that i'm no one special in particular. I think, if people had more confidence in some of these supplements and treatments, perhaps people would surprise themselves. You just need to be disciplined enough to construct a plan and respect a schedule.

It's worse not trying and never knowing then trying and being certain. As well, knowing what does NOT work for you makes you smarter in learning what can work for you.

[samdee]

Good for you. You are taking a lot of things, but with the way you are talking, it seems worth it.

If you feel the minoxidil isn't giving you the regrowth you are seeing, why don't you drop it and see what happens?

It's worth every second of my time taking the proper measures to insure my happiness. I would rather spend time maintaing what makes me happy then dealing with the stress and the lack of confidence. It's truly a pleasure taking those pills at night.

I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I TAKE Rehmannia root - to provide a hormonal equilibrium.

[samdee]

Its possible enough stuff could lower your DHT levels enough to have some effect on hair, but again your probably just going to get sides if you would have got them just like propecia. You cant have your cake and eat it too. If you lower DHT systemically then your risking sides not much else to say
An alternative to all of that is just take propecia. The one knock I have on propecia is I feel its too strong for everyone and not everyone should be inhibiting anywhere near that amount of DHT. I think small amounts of DHT inhibition would work well for some guys. Its not a hat that fits any head.

you have a strong argument, "why you breaking your head, just take fin".
a) I can and with regards to serum DHT it might be stronger, however, the herbals supplements aid my air beyond the scope of inhibiting alpha x reductase.
b) Biotin does not inhibit dht perse it provides vitamins in aiding hair health and vitality.
c) Nettles block aromatase as well, it's SUPER VITAL TO KEEP YOUR ESTRADIOL balanced
d) Taurine - increases hair shaft diameter
e) As for side effects, black tea PROMOTES sexual benefits and libido.
.... the list can go on. My point is, in regards to inhibiting the right DHT, YES, Fin probably wins, hands down. However, if i can be wise and work some magic and really get these benefits with a peace of mind, why not.

Maybe one day, if i ever need to take fin, i may embrace it. I have taken Fin for 3 months (about a year ago), mild testicular pain at first but I'd like to think im a positive responder. My goal is to hold grounds, not a day dreamer but within the next 5 years the tools to treat HL with be different and hopefully then i can construct a smarter regime.
