My favorite finasteride side effects:
>not having phone storage taken up by pictures of the back of my head
>dating a super attractive girl from my second year of engineering school
>getting a handle on my mental health
>getting to wear hats only temporarily
Bro my head is too big to even wear hats. I have no option but to go on this drug lmfaoo
No hat? Did you reverse and regrow a lot?
Any micro needling or minox combo? I've heard finasteride can regrow on its own but extremely rare.
@@Vakator-29 I don’t use minoxidil and/or a dermaroller but I only had to regrow thinning hair so I might be a luckier case
I dont think its extremely rare for it to cause regrowth but its better at maintenance. AFAIK theres a very good chance you’ll thicken hair in areas that are thinning while deadzones with no or minimal hair are probably going to require extra assistance like minoxidil or a hair transplant.
Finasteride is a massive mental health boost. Not having to go anxious anytime hair is mentioned is a net benefit
When I have children, I'm telling them that they have to thank you for their existence
Lmaoo
The only side effects I'm getting from finasteride is mental peace knowing that I'll never go bald and my time in the modeling industry can be prolonged
My hairline grew back thanks to finasteride. Your channel helped me finally get on finasteride and I’ve been on it for 4 years and it’s life changing. I was balding at 23 and had big receding temples and crown. Now my hairline grew back 90% to what it once was before receding and looks so much fuller. I just take finasteride only.
Same here. Fin only. Cheers bro!
did u have a shedding phase?
Year 2 and I feel its not consistently working. Or I'm on a long second shedding phase. Doubt it tho.
Yeah for the first 9 months I constantly shed. Then it stopped@@moataz-moqbel8974
@porkerpete7722 It's really not magic. The intended purpose is to slow hair loss. if this guy is really growing his hair back on his temples that is very very rare.

Kevin choom! I left a comment on one of your older videos discussing what I should do for my hairloss. At the time I was 11 months on finasteride only and I took your recomendation to start adding minoxidil once a day. Fast forward to now, and I am 15 months on finasteride and 4 months into minoxidil with great success. I have recovered all my hair and am sitting at a lush NW1 thanks to you. Just wanted to thank you for all the work you've done, and you don't know how many peoples lives you have saved with your videos. Last year was a rough one for me in many aspects of my life, but saving my hair thanks to you has given me tremendous confidence in my endeavors both professional and personal. I cannot thank you enough choom!
Thanks for sharing that, homie! I am glad you didn't panic and you made a rational decisions adding a proven compound to your stack.
You've earned your hair choom, go live life to the fullest.
when did u start seeing results on fin?
@@raphaelfernandes5195 It stops hairloss very quickly, from 1-3 months.
If you have regrowth is questionable, depends on your genetics and current state of your hair.
Your research about hair loss is unassailable and far better than what is offered by most "hair loss experts." I write a monthly digital publication and came to the same conclusion about finesteride when I researched it several years ago.
Thank you! It's incredibly rewarding knowing the content I share is educational. My goal has always been just to be the dude I wish was around back when I was a young man and I didn't know what to make of all the confusion online.
You know the vid will be gold when Dr. Traish is involved
Just got through watching the video. So basically, it's not under reported because there really isn't much to report. Finasteride is very safe and effective for the vast, vast majority of people, and side effects (if there are any at all) go away, especially if someone stops taking finasteride. Even if they don't stop taking it, side effects that someone actually does experience might just go away in time.
Safe and effective..... where have i heard that before?
@@beatemero6718 Probably with many different drugs that have underwent trials and got FDA approval.
@@beatemero6718Remind me again, how many people died from the vaccine again? Where is the Great Reset and the covid dictatorship? What happened to wearing masks forever? Antivaxxers are retarded. Stay bald, science-denying dumbass.

Finasteride saved me from going bald. I was on the brink of despair, when I made the choice to try it. I’m 9 months into it and recovered so damn much hair on the front hairline , that it feels unreal. Almost no widow peak visible anymore and it continues improving with every month.
Prior anyone would be able to tell, that I was loosing hair and I felt so uncomfortable, because my hair is a big part of being able to look better. Im not someone who can rock being bald. That’s why I appreciate Haircafe for saving the otherwise doomed hair receding individuals.
No way I will go back to not using finasteride! Maybe I will even hop on dutasteride in the near future. big f you DHT!
DHT has no chance against us, choom. We've got this.
But you will be a slave to this drug for life.if you ever stop, you will lose it again.

Do you do any other hairloss prevention methods like min and microneedling?
@@Dogman262 im vegan, so I take precautions to take additional b12,d3, omega 3 algae oil and iodine supplement. I also added vitamin k for the vitamin d3 synergy, as I’m unsure, if I meet daily vitamin k needs, to match my daily 5k I.E d3 intake.well, I also take calcium supplement such as algae calcium to support healthy bones. But that’s about it. Not sure if besides the d3, anything else from the list correlates towards my results.
I’m not into minoxidil and I find microneedling useless. Tried them both, it’s too inconvenient for me and I’ve seen no results. during the long enough time, where I ve tried it. Finasteride is more than sufficient and anything else seems too bothersome to me. Even if I was certain, that minis and microneedling would increase the gains, I wouldn’t do because I’m happy with what I am seeing so far. I rather put the extra energy in my workouts and daily long walks with my dog. Got no headspace for the inconvenience. While I’m also thinking those seem like all the other bullshit suggestions from the internet that I have tried, to the point, where I am very skeptical beyond dht blockers such as finasteride or dutasteride. Anything else seems useless and redundant. Especially considering the results I get from a little pill that I just pop in every day, with no bad sideeffects what so ever, I feel like I’m pretty much good as is.
Mby I will upload a link with before after pictures, if I don’t forget about it. In my case it’s also very clear without before pictures, which hairs have grown back, since I haven’t had a cut in almost 2 years. So I can tell exactly how much regrowth I got! :-)
just when I wanted to go to sleep but Kevin drops a video

Kevin I gotta thank you. It was from watching your videos that gave me courage to take finasteride after I read all the horror stories on the internet. I’m well aware that the mind is a powerful thing and reading all that negative stuff could’ve given me a nocebo effect. Your content assured me that all of that fearmongering was complete nonsense. In fact I think your content has given me a bit of a placebo effect. I started finasteride about 5 weeks ago and since then my lifts have shot up and my general wellbeing has increased. I haven’t been taking it long enough to see results with my hair but I’m certain they’ll be coming along shortly.
Ah yes, the mind made my genitals physically numb and shrivelled without me even knowing it was possible in the first place. It’s not nonsense. Good luck though.
@@afkVahnGENERALLY speaking side effects mentioned by people online are a product of the nocebo effect. For everybody who has legit side effect there’s tons of people who have it all in there head. Tbh I’m skeptical that you developed that independently. A simple RUclips search of finasteride pulls up a lot of anti finasteride zealots and hypochondriacs so it’s more likely you’ve bought into the fearmongering and then developed those symptoms. I grew up around hypochondriacs who would convince themselves that they had issues when they didn’t and as a result would get the symptoms of said conditions. I know hypochondriacs when I see them.
Progress?
@@Cheyemos hair has definitely improved. I don’t see my scalp in the mirror like I used to and most of the hairs being shed now are the thinner hairs. Hopefully they’re growing back stronger and thicker.
@@daveyjones585great!

Kevin you’re saving my hairline, dude!
Hey Kevin, I just wanted to tell you that you completely changed my hair loss trajectory. I’ve known about fin since 2019 but been scared shitless about its side effect until I discovered your channel.
I was about to drop over a grand on a laser cap and hope that scalp massages, microneedling + rosemary could save my hair after having watched many tiktoks. That was until I saw your video about how useless laser caps were and then I binged the rest of your videos for like a week. Only through you did I get the courage to start taking finasteride. I had watched many videos from multiple other creators and doctors that also said it’s a safe drug and PFS is BS. I was still skeptical about starting the drug until I saw your videos, your words really just hit different with the amount of confidence you put into everything you say.
Within that week of binging your videos I got a prescription for fin, been on 1mg everyday for a couple months now and no sides. Hard to tell how the drug is gonna be working for my hair which is around a nw1.5 and a bit thinned throughout the top, but so far I’ve only experienced a slight shed.
Side note: I want all the fear mongers to go to hell my hair could probably have been much better than it is now.
Honoured to have helped you on the path, hair loss Witcher.

I'm your fan from Iraq, keep on uploading choom
Thanks choom! Definitely got more Preem content on the way.
Absolute utmost respect for you and your channel Kevin. Great work and content. You back everything up with science, which gives you high credibility. Keep up the good work!
Kevin, thank you for these videos to fight against the finasteride fear mongering. I'm finally using it at 1mg per day and, like everyone else, I wish I started sooner. I never would have started without you making these videos. I tried everything else first, even CosmeRNA, and now that I'm on fin I feel a huge reduction in anxiety knowing I'm on the one treatment that will actually stop hair loss. And the best part is that it's just one pill per day. Almost no effort.
The first two times I tried it I got sides. I was a believer in a lot of the fear mongering though my sides went away when I stopped using it. Based on your videos explaining sides may be caused by elevated estrogen levels I decided to try a third time. By starting at .25mg and working my way up as well as taking the estrogen blocking supplement "Res V" from Biotest I was able to get to 1MG per day with almost no sides and the minor ones that did occur went away very quickly. The sides only really manifested for a day or so after I increased the dose each time.
Thank you again for the info and confidence to save my hair. You got one more guy on the Finasteride side.
My experience: started 1mg, got bad sides, got scared and stopped for 2 years. Sides disappeared quickly. Lost a lot of ground(hair) and got sad enough to start again with 0.25mg, no sides at all. Ramped up to 0.5mg, now I am at 1mg, no sides. Take finasterid guys.
You got Scared? 😂😂😂 what is wrong with man Today?
What sides did you get?
@@johnwhitaker3371 Just stop overthinking it and take the fucking drug and see for yourself. You have to choose, either you want your hair, or you want to go bald. It's up to you. The more you postpone it, the more hair you will loose.
Sides are normal, but they go away with time. It’s just your body getting used to the lower DHT.
@@beatemero6718 you dont know what I was going through in that time so you better stfu kid. I am just sharing my honest experience, no need for someone who thinks he is superiour even if he doesnt know shit. Have a nice day.

Happy to help! You've got this.
@@haircafekevinthank you for replying to all your subscribers as well! I still haven’t taken it I just have to stop being such a puss about it. I’m just afraid of it thinning more you know? Do you happen to have an Instagram or something? I kinda want your opinion on whether it’s androgenic alopecia or not because my hair loss is slow , nothing rapid . But it had been falling out for 2-3 years now. My hair used to be so thick:/
@@haircafekevin does finastride make hair thicker as well? I’m just afraid of it thinning more. Im not afraid of the other side effects anymore because you’re right. It’s worth the risk if the possibility for side effects are really low. I have oral minoxidil as well , but I’ve seen ur other videos on that and how you mentioned how u don’t want to play with that stuff. Also is it okay to take finastride if you take adderall in the morning?
One of my buddies literally said: “can’t you just fix hair loss with diet change?” The magical thinking is insane
It makes it no surprise how many men go bald without ever learning how to actually stop hair loss.
I really hope Tim Pool has seen this channel
Man just showed a picture of Rob Holding and expected us not to say anything. For an American, knowing Rob Holding is quite the research. Below average centre back though
I've been using finasteride even though I have no prior AGA. It's to be proactive. My hair is amazing now.
That's the golden option.
Yup imagine me having my 16 year old hair line in my 30s, 40s, and 50s :-D.@@haircafekevin
How old are you?
I had sides taking Fin but I still appreciate it's an excellent, safe drug for most.
You should try the drug again in lower dose and build your dose up. There's is also a high probability you won't experience sides after your 2nd attempt.
Glad I found this channel
Glad to have you here, choom.
It's 2024 and people still sees finasteride as a monster, Guys I used the drug thanks to Kevin encouragement since November 2019, and am telling one thing the drug is well tolerated and it's safe. Heck even my local hospital's dermatologist said it's the only the solution for this curse and it's safe, you will never see a professional doctor

(Thank you Kevin We really appreciate your videos, hope you do well ❤.)
It's less than before tbh. Back in 2015, they were running rampant with their Finasteride propaganda. Some were even claiming that everyone gets sides and are just lying.😂
Your thumbnails 😂 love it
Never understood why it has to be such a dichotomy. Fin and Dut can be amazing drugs for some and nightmarish for others. I don't blame people for loving it, just like I don't blame people for hating it.
They’re the only things the Norwood reaper fears.
You are doing God work Kevin. I must admit i had in fact side effects from 1mg Oral Finasteride (haematospermia and reduced sperm quality) so i switched to topical finasteride and everyting i golden now. Except sadly i am not exactly a hyper responder ^^
Hey Kevin, I started using finasteride 2 years ago following your advice and I got worried the other day from a tressless post that cited a mild cognitive dysfunction side effect of finasteride “especially for younger patient.” I’m 21 now and I felt those side effects were literally speaking to me.
I really didn't expect to see Rob Holding - or Rob Balding as we call him - in your videos. He did get a pretty beefy hair transplant though. Though when you see his Mrs you'll understand why.

Before I ever experienced hair loss I would have dismissed the idea that "just shave it bro" is nothing but crab mentality as a dumb blackpill conspiracy theory. Then I experienced living as a shaved head guy and now I know in my bones that it's crab mentality.
Yeah, the anti-finasteride rhetoric from the whole blackpill community is so beta and defeatist. On one hand they act like looks are everything but then they tell people that the most clinically effective proven treatment for hair loss isn't a viable option.
Such an unpractical position.
@@RobHarrington-e5gthe Blackpillers agree with you though.
“Hair is Life” is a common saying there. Its just they’re too dumb for proper research on pharmaceuticals.

I think we should all have a “Looksmin month” where for a month, we shave our heads and live life without hair to remind ourselves of how brutally lookist society is
Just started oral Fin today after being scared shitless for a year and being on topical Fin for a month (application was a horrible hassle, so I quit).

Okay, Chooms. After a year of fretting and over analyzing, I took the plunge of oral Dut this week afer being scared to go off topical. 0.5mg EOD. Gonna supplement with a topical min everyday and ket shampoo 1-2x/week. Maybe microneedling. Thinking of fully documenting my journey up to now and onward on a monthly basis for a fully unbiased reveiw of how oral dut works for me/is tolerated. Anyone interested?

@@johanjonasson4188Ur right it keeps on improving the hair years and years later. May God give u even more results dear soildier.
I think the reason because younger men report sides effects more likely in not only because they read the forums, it's also because they perform in bed more often. Most guys in their 70s dont have sex at all, so yea you wont report sex problems if you dont have sex at all :)
Probably just nacebo
BPH happens in sexually active men aswell.

It's not hate, it's just a meme on this channel. Only youtubers I legitimately hate are Nikocado Avocado and Dave Rubin.
Dutasteride gave me acne, and doubled my T, hair is not better than finasteride. What do u think I should do?? I'm shedding right now. Should I try fin could turkey again?
Testosterone isn't an issue so long as the 5AR enzyme is under control, which it is if you're on dutasteride. It is probably just a treatment shed, I wouldn't worry.

Great vid Kevin.
didnt watch the video yet, but i would think they are. this is because side effects like low sex drive and brain fog can be caused by other things.
recently started it as a female. hoping it will stop the endless shedding and thinning. hoping more that it doesn't come with a significant risk to my health.
Is it working?
Surprised you didn’t show a picture of Elon Musk as an example of a winner. The richest man in the world using finasteride is pretty validating.
I actually did intend to. I screwed up during editing and left him out.

Right here, choom.

I still don’t know if this guy is a Tim pool fan or not 😅
I started finasteride 1mg/day on Jan 1st because of you. I'm 27 and wasn't balding or thinning really, just for preventative reasons.
I recognize this is way too early but so far I've had no adverse side effects and if anything have noticed some positive changes. I used to really struggle with my refractory period, borderline flu-like symptoms, which have now disappeared completely which is cool. I perceive my skin to be clearer although I've been acne-free since I was a teen. My only concern is I'm waking up a bit more frequently but my Whoop data has calculated a higher recovery and HRV score from Jan 3rd onward. December bloodwork had me at 722 total + 15.4 free ng/dl so I don't think any small boost in test would've caused this.
Overall I'm happy to be on finasteride and feel silly for fearing it. Thank you for your work!
U did what most of us fin users wished to do. Though I started early in the game I still had some receding, which like 90% of it grew back. Im more than pleased with my hairline after 2 years. But still i wished to start before i receded just of the stress I went through prior to using it.

Yooo Kev, I haven't watched your vids in a while, so I'm checking up on some old ones. I have a few questions. First, on your video on collagen (peptides): Dr Brad Stanfield (perhaps you've heard of him), has made many vids on the positive benefits of collagen peptides, it would be cool if you'd be able to debunk the studies he presents, perhaps in a new video. Also wonder what you think of his advises, if you know him.
Furthermore, I've bought Greger's How Not to Age last month, and I'm pretty happy on my buy, even though I do take Greger's very precautionary takes on supplements always with a grain of potassium chloride, knowing how he often chooses diet in favor of supplements/medications and such. But I'm simply wondering if you know other doctors/registered dietitians with good websites or books. I still highly value Nutritionfacts, despite of some criticisms I hear.
And last question: will you ever still do a vid on Alfatradiol? I never hear you speak on it anymore, when >2 years ago you often brought it up now and then. Thanks for all.
Well, you can tell from my video that I'm more skeptical of collagen than some others, like Dr. Stanfield for example. I'm pretty skeptical of many supplements because most of the time they haven't been well researched. As for Dr. Greger, I think my opinion is best expressed in this video I made on his ideas that diet can treat hair loss, ruclips.net/video/qVgX1F_Y3D8/видео.htmlsi=Nsq22NQkCOBT1kPc
Regarding alfatradiol, I don't think it is very powerful, but at the time I tried it I was able to get it cheap, so I used it as adjunctive treatment, but haven't used it recently.
You look tired Kevin are you doing ok
Late night gaming. Doing a ff7-athon in preparation for rebirth.
Been on fin for nearly a month now, had some 'boob'' pain but it disappeared two days ago so lasted about 10 days. Hope I'll recover some density but honestly even if it stays the same for a couple years, I'll rock the buzz cut.
DHT is important for development of embryo. So is it adviced to stop taking fin a few weeks before trying to concieve? Thus, the sperm will have adequate DHT in them.
No. I actually made a video about this.

Thanks! I prefer energy and plasma weapons.
Ok not gonna lie master choom, turning Ariel black was the not the move man.
Hey Kevin can you do a video about scalp health, scalp inflammation , different types of alopecia like frontal fibrosis. Do you have the knowledge to do a video on scalp health? My understanding is that if you have any type of scalp inflammation regardless of the reason, using topical minoxidil may aggravate inflammation and make hair loss worse. Although I believe finasteride and dutasteride may actually help scalp inflammation although not positive. Doesn’t seem like alot of people are discussing scalp health which may be a contributing factor to hairloss
Here is my video on it.

Keep saving heads man 💪
Kevin, there’s been an update on HMI-115. Supposedly it’s safe with a mean TAHC increase of 14 hairs/cm^2. But we all know nothing is ever a sure thing in this industry lol
Thanks for letting me know, I'll put it in my research folder and review it after my next video.
Hmmm, on second thought I think I better put my upcoming video on hold and cover this. Might have a new video on it tomorrow.
Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.
Kevin is wild 😂
I am going to be honest with you. As much as I like your content, I am not liking the dissing of atheists. No, atheists are not stupid. Do not lump an entire school of thought and position with incels. Please.
I didn't mean to. It's just atheism is one of those subjects you see people start huge internet fights online about whether it be favorable or antagonistic.
@@haircafekevin that whole thing was so 2010. Only suckers fight on internet over this now. Most atheists I know do not do that.
Does Tim Pool know about his role in the HCU? Lol
I sure hope so.
I didn't know that Dr trash name is actually Dr trash😂
Lmao bro I love your memes. What's up with all the Tim Pool/ Ana Kasparian memes? Funny as hell!
She's Tim Pool's dream girl who keeps rejecting him.
@@haircafekevin Really? Is this a thing or just some fan fiction?
@@tjblackmore7863 Just a meme. Basically they're characters on my channel since it is easy to imagine Tim as a lonely baldy who secretly has a crush on Ana.
Your videos gave me the balls to finally go to the dermatologist to ask for finasteride. She said I have a lot of scalp inflammation and rednesss and I do have pretty bad itchiness. She prescribed me 2 antifungal shampoos and clobetosol cortisone and told me to apply it every other day for 3 months and upon follow up we'll address the receding hairline. I'm 34 and am at a norwood 2.5 on leftside and a 3 on the right side and started receding in my late teens but it stabilized. However obviously it's very slowly getting worse. She said i have diffuse thinning from the inflammation. I don't really see redness where my bald spots are but i do see little baby hairs. I do have sever itchy and red scalp though and dandruff. What do you recommend? Should i do what she says or should i demand finasteride?
I'd definitely insist on finasteride. Continue the Nizoral but you don't want to wait while your androgenic alopecia gets worse.
@@haircafekevinthanks for reply!!
I started losing hair again while being long term on fin.. Im not sure what to do after increasing my dose and frequency it seemed to have gotten worse..
It might be time to join the dutasteride master race.
Dutasteride 2.5mg a day blocks 80% of scalp dht
Finaateride only blocks 40%
The answer is clear
Switch to dutasteride.
After my third day of oral fin I felt really off. Got out of the shower and realized I had completely chemically transitioned. Hair is amazing and I'm now a solid 8/10 hot chick.
You make great Job. Thanks a lot. I am 51 years old. I have been using 1 mg of finasteride three times a week and minoxidil once a day for 20 years. The effect of this combination is slowly coming to an end. I would now also like to take pyrilutamide once a day or 0.5 mg of dutasteride once a week. What would you take? Pyrilutamide or Dutasteride? Or both?
Do you think that on the off chance someone was to experience the “side effects” of finasteride or “PFS” , that those could be offset by living a healthy lifestyle that promotes high testosterone and overall good physical and sexual health? Also maybe any supplements that could help diminish “side effects”.
Sure. Also, ED is easily treatable today, and since about 50% of sides resolve while continuing to use the drug, it would be a good strategy to muscle through if possible.
i love you kev but please no more evangelion slander
I am sorry, NGE is the greatest anime ever about 14 year olds in giant robots fighting God.
@@haircafekevin thanks!!
Unfortunately I received crazy brain fog, weird looking Soren and gyno, I could have avoided gyno if I would have stopped sooner but I was so desperate for hair
Kevin, I need your advice. Should I wait one year on Finasteride before adding Minoxidil? Can the hair improve greatly with only three more months, within the remaining three months to complete the year, using only Finasteride?
I think it's best to wait until adding Minox so you can evaluated how effective fin is for you. Really fin is the important one long term. If you take Minox at the same time though i could be hard to figure out if fin is working or not.
If you've lost a lot of ground already, like you're a Norwood 3 then I'd get on minoxidil now. Otherwise give fin more time.
@@haircafekevin Thanks, Kevin. Unfortunately, I am a diffuse thinner so i do not really know how to classify the stages :(
@Mike-wq7mw Simple if u need a lot of regrowth now add min too, if u dont and u need just a tiny bit stick to fin.
Perfect timing I just did fat line of progesterone 😫
Quick question , can you do a video on why finasteride just doesn’t work for some people or why it Stops working eventually for many people ?
Perhaps. In most cases though it is just people freaking out about a shed. In rare cases some people just need more dht inhibition so finasteride still works, it just isn't enough.
Is it really stopping working for MANY people or just SOME people? I really seldom heard that it stopped working.
Also let’s not confuse it that even when taking it hair do slowly get thinner and sometimes starts to gray. So I am curious if those who claim it stopped working simple went over a visual threshold and read it as fin stopped working
@@litjellyfish why does hair slowly get thinner ?
@@78percent34 because that finasteride do not block DHT completely. I do not stop Hairloss completely. But it slows it down very much. So the Hairloss continues so to speak. But maybe now almost 25 years after using finasteride I maybe are where i would have been 1-2 years after if I had not taken finasteride. Or it would have been even worse.
@@litjellyfish then why not advertise dutasteride ?
U look like somelne with high normal Test lvls, people with low Test naturaly probably have more side effects from Fina.
Hello kevin bro...Need your help !
● Can we facewash daily, if yes then can we use even 2 times a day?
● How can we use retinols for face skin ?
● I saw ur reply comment on another video where u recommended using head & shoulders daily. Now my question is that h&s contains sulphates & parabens, which i heard are not good for hair. Is it true ?
Thank you ❤
Yes, of course.
Just apply it after cleaning your face. Use however much you need to get full coverage, should just be a few dabs.
No, but if you have really dry hair you may want to avoid shampooing daily. Could also try using a good jojoba oil conditioner.
@@haircafekevin Okay bro...I got it. LOVE YOU❤️ 🫂
I'm just about ready to take the leap. I trust science, but the one thing that has me a little concerned is I haven't really seen any studies on people who have had side effects and gotten off the drug to confirm if these side effects resolve in everyone. Do you know of any studies like this Kevin?
This study does a good job of reviewing the evidence and concludes that there are no high quality studies documenting persistent side effects from 5AR blockers. www.karger.com/Article/FullText/450617
I was thinking, some guys have 5ar production disorder and never become bald because the enzyme cannot bind to testo for convert into dht, why they are as healty as common people and dont get side from this
Thanks Kevin
I used topical finasteride + stemoxydine and it works well minimal sides.
That's fantastic! I have some stemoxydine on reserve, might start using it again to see if I can get a bit of extra thickness.
hi Kevin your videos have been very helpful. any way of leaving a donation?
I really appreciate that, but it isn't necessary. Watching my videos is already a great way to support this channel.
@haircafekevin really appreciate your honesty man. thanks for the work you've put in for the hair loss community and exposing the fear mongering surrounding treatments
Is it worth buying the ps5 version of gta 5?
Not if you have already played it.
