      ​@hydrachamp6036 it's different for everyone. I was on Keeps a while back and about a month into it I started to break out really bad. Mind you I was about 28 at the time and never had acne problems in my life. 1 pimple every couple weeks max. I believe it caused a huge hormone imbalance and caused me to break out bad. After I dropped Keeps I had to take natural antioxidant acne medication for about 2 months and everything has been back to normal since.
      Fin and min definitely works and starts to make changes to your body a couple weeks in. Just be cautious because it affects people differently.

I don't even think about my hair anymore, because it's no longer receding.

      I will add, I refused it for ten years. I lost 40-50% of my hair. I started taking it, and my hair loss stopped. I cursed myself and everytime I see ‘shave it off’ videos I get mixed feelings. I buzzed my hair countless times and each time I had a ‘bounce effect’ for a few days. Then I accepted that the world doesn’t change and I look worse buzzed. Now I grow it and I am happier. Not 100% happy, but I look better and I know I look better so I feel better. Yes, we all fade and die and turn to dust. Yes, so and…? Look as good as you can when it is reasonable to do so. Don’t kid yourself.

    Going bald is not usually a medical "condition", just genetics. So, a good decision to stop taking those strong drugs and embrace the inevitable. Several comments indicate a lack of understanding that the baldness will accelerate without the drugs, and a lifetime of those drugs comes with a host of side effects that are unnecessary. And he looks hot 👍

Weird fact is, somebody I knew said I had years left, but I still didn't feel great with hair. A weight has been lifted, quite literally!

    Never take finastride more than once in a 24 hour period. You’re not only making the chance of side effects more likely. You aren’t doing anything for your hair by taking it in bulk. 1mg is just as affective for hair as a 5mg pill. This med started as a treatment for enlarge prostates. Unless you have that issue there is no reason to take more than 1 MG

      It’s not the time it takes to swallow the pill. It’s the long term dependency on it to keep him happy and never actually being fully content with himself is what he is largely saying. Something I do find interesting though so I’d love to hear your thoughts. If you never think about your hair what being you to channels like Baldcafe?

      ​@@Baldcafewe are being on your channel for fun and entertainment. Also interesting to see others perspective on hairloss etc...
      I also saved my hair (been on meds for more than 10 years). But I still occasionally check out on hairloss channels cause it's entertaining to me. I like to watch these videos while taking my morning coffee ☕️ .
      Watching baldcafe / haircafe / Matt Dominance etc.. doesn't necessarily mean you are still " worried " about your hairloss .
      We just find the topic interesting and entertaining. That's it. It's not that deep mate :) .
      I know you always think people are stressed etc.. that they watch something because they see themselves in the videos etc... but not everyone is the same.
      A lot of people are stressed but also a lot of people just find it genuinely interesting and entertaining and like to learn new stuff about how people think, or how a new hairloss medication is working etc etc...

      ​@@Baldcafe I watched the video and understood his words. And again, that makes no sense. It's akin to saying that I won't go to the gym because I'm never happy with my physique and depend on the gym to keep me slim, and therefore I'll just give up and start eating myself to death. It's like someone saying they don't want to depend on life saving medication so they'll just end it right there because they don't like dependency. Do you stop brushing your teeth because you don't want to depend on toothpaste? I would understand if he said he didn't like the results finasteride gave him so he just shaved it, but this idea of dependency and being let "free" as if he was some sort of slave to the drug is such a bizarre notion. He isn't happy about losing his hair nor is he happy he is bald. He's doing what every other bald man does which is acceptance. Acceptance is *not* the same thing as happiness.
      This guy has some other issues going on and the precise point of this video is for other bald men to feel better about having missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime to save their hair. They feel the need to justify their poor decision making and regret.
      I'm not on this channel because I worry about my hair, I'm on this channel to see what it's like for a bunch of other bald men who regret not taking treatment and saving their hair and my goodness it is truly an eye opening experience with videos like this. If you think I'm on this channel because I worry about my hair, what does it say when bald men are on this channel watching this video? Perhaps using it as a coping mechanism?

    This person has a very all or nothing type of personality. He mentioned taking finasteride and it’s been 10 years. If he hadn’t taken it, he would’ve been more bald. How would you know? 10 years is a mighty long time in a human life span and losing hair isn’t finite.. over a decade we would surely see less..he mentions over training and not accepting what you have.. as I listen I’m reminded that these are extremes and there is a middle. Working out 3 times a week is great for you.. taking finasteride 3x per week.. is good you might have had contraindications for 1mg daily because some people are a super absorbers..some people do not and release the drug quicker and some do even less,use your own body’s signals to determine if you need to lower dosage . I’ve even seen 2x per week-divide with equal distance of time between having an affect. He mentioned hating minoxidil, he didn’t have to use that particular type. There’s foams, there’s pills.. it’s a stimulator not a DHT blocker so they are different modalities of action than finasteride. 1x per day is all that is needed for minoxidil, i recommend before bed. Half-life of minoxidil is 22 hours so no need for 2x daily.

      When you say work you mean it slowed/halted the rate of his balding. What is largely overlooked is that it doesn’t truly rid you of the concern over going bald.

    Guys, it used to be much more before but less now the pp size, now its the baldness... Do you see how people treat balding guys, you seen that bald dude on tiktok? They laugh at his face? Pointing their finer at him and laughing. Imagine, it's like we went into a time machine. It's another body dysmorphia being created, and a real bad one at that. Do you know how balding people feel? Did you stop to watch and listen to their talks of being ashamed to leave the house cause of the wind or rain, go to the beach, constantly looking for mirrors trying to mask it, cover it, disguise it. What happens? Men who ain't even balding that hard start getting treatment which is fine, their body their life, but then, remember, sure some cases are more severe but you got guys like this who shave their head FOR WRONG REASONS. Don't shave your head cause you're worried about somebody not liking you. If you feel it would suit you head more and sure some heads are just means for no hair i mean i saw this Buddhist guy on a podcast who was Caucasian and he looked amazing. Every feature of his face just shined more. I bet he ain't doing it cause he feel dread or like a living corpse or being afraid of being mocked by people. But so many guys ain't even balding. I used to and still do have small widow peaks. It happened when i was 18 the corners of my hair went gray and kind of just went away. Years went by and i meet a guy who's only got the back of his head so he wears a had even if it's the hottest day of the year. And he compliments my density and says like "yeah i would give my arm to have hair like your's" and i'm being nice, i tell him naah i used to rock short hair see, and i had really to spread the jungle to show him the small peaks. And he tells me to shave it off cause it will go all off in 2 months. How many time has it been since then? Ehh i'd say 6 years. I have the same hairline as i did when i spoke to him. So please guys, at least don't make it bother you, if you get to a point where you are truly, without a doubt just losing bunch of hair go to a doctor. If he redirects you to a shrink, you're fine :) Sending pisitive vibes to everyone, especially people struggling, i've seen some videos of such nice guys with such good hair, throwing it away, again, for wrong reasons.
