    Default starting fin before hair loss

    I have a NW0 hairline and im almost 25. I know the health risks but want to maintain my current hairline. Is it unheard of for someone to start fin before any hairloss?

    Don't start fin before hair loss!

    You can always start it after first signs of hair loss.
    There are some cases when fin made hair worse

    I agree! I have heard similar cases about fin making hair worse. I would wait until it's your last resort.

    Taking fin before hairloss is useless. Don't start this drug if you have no receding hairline or a sign of hairloss (vertex, thinning)

    No, don't use Fin. Jump straight on Dutasteride 2.5mg a day, and oral Spironolactone 100mg-200mg daily. Better safe than sorry.

    If you have a history of hairloss in your family (both grandfathers are bald, father is bald, siblings, etc.), then I would get tested to see if you have a genetic propensity for hairloss (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...oss-early.html). If that is positive, then I WOULD get on proscar preventively. I wish I had - I started losing my hair at about 18 or 19, but didn't notice until I was 20. I started on proscar, and it helped me maintain a descent head of hair for a decade. If I had started even earlier, I believe I wouldn't have lost much hair at all.

    Im sure someone has done that before, but taking a drug with different risks for no reason except just in case? Probably better to make sure you have it before going with life long treatment. You have plenty of time once it starts you wont wake up NW 3 a few days later. When it starts then worry about it

    Don't listen to this guy - these are half measures. What you need is a full castration.
