I reversed my hair loss without Finasteride

You are completeley ignorant about what causes baldness!

It is a GENETIC predisposition, which you cannot change through lifestyle choices.

I get personally offended when people on forums, or in real life, imply that my baldness is due to the fact that I "must be lazy" and have "let myself go". Especially considering that lots of bald people keep themselves in great shape (including myself).

Its like saying that a person with cystic fibrosis should take some wheatgrass and coconut oil extract, its ridiculous.

Yes, you are correct. Let me give you an example to better understand my point. Yes, it's obviously genetic, however, you can trigger and aggravate the HL gene by doing certain things. Like smoking, we all have potential to get cancer but smoking will aggravate and expedite the process and therefor give you cancer.

So, although you have the HL gene, it is possible to do the right moves and save your hair, possibly for a lifetime.

Again I have to ask, is Emu oil not gross to apply to your scalp?
Does it ever cause breakouts of any kind on the skin?

No, it actually should not cause ANY breakouts, it's actually great for the skin. It actually goes RIGHT through the skin.

Give it a shot, it can get annoying so that why i put it on before i go to bed.

You can barely tell I have HL now, it's almost reversed. I never had very aggressive HL

Wow. This is a great story.

The funny thing is that if all that crap works then you could have simplified your routine greatly and processed a whole lot less pills through your body if you just took the finasteride to begin with. Not to mention if your hair loss is better I bet your hormone profile looks similar to finasteride anyways. Your just lowering DHT in a different way its not some magical thing your taking tons of stuff that MIGHT help with DHT in some way.

apparently these natural alternatives lower DHT via a different (safer) mechanism, whereas fin does it on a cellular level

that is according to the dude over at http://www.hairloss-research.org/updates.html I personally have no idea

Sam, do you think it could be mainly the minoxidil that's cause your success. Or do you think you can do it without?

To be honest, I dont know how much minoxidil actually does. I have a feeling the other ones i working quite well for me. I stopped shedding so for on Black tea, its been a bit over a month. It's great .

I bought black tea extract from Swanson vitamins. It's like 10 bucks. I'm just holding ground and waiting for something to come out and I can weave off this whole system lol .

Why black tea extract instead of green?

[ResearchNeverfails]

Why black tea extract instead of green?

It works as an inhibitor of 5-Alpha Reductase

I suppose it would not help much then since I am on dut & fin.

I do take green tea extract but do not expect it to do much or anything for my hair

Hi, from OP I am just wondering, which are taken orally and which topically? What are the dosages?

Thanks

[Notcoolanymore]

Has anybody else tried this and have any kind of success?

[Unsure1]

Bump, I too am curious.
Am starting to use topical emu oil, in conjunction with magnesium oil and castor oil.
I have read black tea doesn't particularly do much for those of you interested.
