I improved my hair by doing these: Including more and more vitaminC from orange, lemon, and kiwi fruit, 7-8 hrs of enough sleep daily, have nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or peanuts in limited, you can also have fishes like salmon. Exercise a minimum of 30 mins everyday. Using mild, pure shampoo, oil, neem wood comb, massager for scalp by liitleextra coconion twice a week. All this is good for hair fall control.
Scchi?
I took creatine about 2 months ago. It made a difference in my performance. I’m 28 and had never taken before. I didn’t load; just did 5g a day. I noticed a lot of hair on my pillow and hair on my hands when I would wash my hair(never experienced this before). I’ve looked at many videos (since creatine did help with my energy levels and focus at the gym). All the most popular videos were made by creators that had supplement sponsorships, had a supplement line or ties to the supplement industry. Long story short: I stopped taking creatine and about 2-3 weeks later I stopped shedding.

Mine was too two but I started using minoxidil and big improvement! I know I have to use it everyday now but it’s ok lol 😂
I literally stopped taking it and the hair at the sides of my forehead grew back lol
Yeah like your supplement selling channel isn’t going to be biased in favor of the supplements they sell.
Lmao, the one paper that links creatine to hair loss only had 20 participants in which 4 dropped out making its findings tenuous at best. The conclusions are also not justified since they measured total testosterone to compare to DHT, when they should have measured bioavailable testosterone. Regardless of whether he sells supplements or not - the creatine hair loss study is shit and he rightfully says so.
That has nothing to do with my comment. You should take creatine and start bodybuilding because that IQ of yours isn’t going to get you anywhere.
Nah he’s actually telling the truth and unless you already are bound to have hair loss then you won’t lose it by taking creatine
@@julesb7240so I should keep taking Creatine ? I’m scared it’s gonna give me a bad hairline cause it’s already mid but I’ve been taking it since 2022
@@omolina0480If you have been taking it for a year and have not noticed anything you should be fine.
"probably not gonna have an effect". probably.
“You gain some, you lose some” 😂😂😂

Isn’t it weird how creatine is “the most studied bodybuilding supplement” yet speculation of if it causing hair loss is everywhere?
Dht is the hormone that causes hair loss, if you have male patterned baldness creatine will create more dht meaning it’ll increase the rate of your hair falling out, if you don’t have male pattern baldness then you’ll be fine, that’s how he should’ve said it
@@hikureid6790 but then where are those exact studies in which dht levels are measured before and on creatine with a large sample size
@@hikureid6790correct. My doctor asked me not to take creatine because I'm having hairfall
@@hikureid6790i agree
@@hikureid6790yeah if you’re gonna lose your hair then it’s more just a matter of time. You can keep your hair or get big but some people just can’t have both. Keeping your hairline isn’t gonna make you healthy. Working out will.
Dunno about the studies but I started losing hair when I started taking creatine, and it stopped when I no longer consumed it. Every single time
Taking creatine for just 1 week caused a small patch to appear on my head. Hair stopped falling after i stopped creatine. I don't care about the scientific proof for this. From my personal experience, it definitely causes hairloss but I suppose it depends on the individual's body.
ima help everyone here whos still hasnt found a straight forward answer… YES it will affect your hair loss if u already have sum form of hairloss running in ur genetics. If u dont have any form of hairloss running thru ur family then NO it will have no affect on u. The reason it affects ppl wit hairloss is because it increases DHT lvls n dats the worst thing to do if u suffer from hairloss already even B4 taking creatine. So YES it will make u shed faster n loss hair faster if u suffer from hairloss but jus remember u are going to loss dat hair anyways. It jus speeds up the process if u take creatine. So if u wanna hold on to the hair u have left for a lil longer dont take creatine. If u have accepted u will lose dat hair n dont care… take creatine n get them serious gains.💪
I'm just confused how you can say that so confidently when we only have one study showing that effect, while we have 12 other that dosent come to the same conclusion (10 of them showing no change in testosterone concentrations). That dosent mean that it may cause baldness, but it means that we don't have a sufficient evidence-base that proves that taking Creatine Monohydrate in recommended doses leads to male pattern baldness
As someone who doesnt have a single bald, balding person in both side of my family all the way to grandparents who both passed with full set of thick hair i can say that Yes! Creatine does cause hairloss. Took it last year for 3 months and my hair shed and became so thin that i had to stop, took 6-8 months to regain a bit of thickness. I wanted to give it the benefit of a doubt again and started taking it again this past few months and now i can literally see my my entire scalp when my hair is somewhat wet.
Fair to say that its time to throw that sht away
@@albertozenemij9490 Yo dude im hopping off bcz of this reason, its crazy like 5-6 yrs ago it was considered a "myth" nah this shit causes hair loss lol
@@spectre8469 sucks, cause it did help big time!
@@albertozenemij9490update?
I don't know you, you didn't even really dispute it other than 'it's probably going to have no effect what so ever' and you left open the possibility of it accelerating hair loss in people who are DHT sensitive. It's also possible that hair loss doesn't occur until a DHT threshold is hit so it's very possible that creatine could make someone lose hair who otherwise wouldn't have.
Definitely thinning the hairs in my experience. Had a scalp scan in a clinic and the thinning was clear, and started exactly after 2 weeks of taking creatine(hair analysis microscope). Also, some hair loss in the shower. I stopped and now waiting for the recovery.
I was so pumped and gains and strenght were incredible. Sadly, there are no study about that and you know why...
Experiencing the same! Twice. Tried it last year and stopped, took my hair 6-8months to somewhat recover. Tried taking again and my hair is so freakin thin i can see my entire scalp when wet. Not a single bald person in bkth sides of the family
Hey so are your hairs recovering well?
@@akshatsingh3856 Being serious yes it recover. Took about 2 month to be like before. In term of "thickness". I started creatine again 1 week ago, 1.5-2gr after 1 week already see the gain in strenght and in muscle (visual). I take a apecial shampoo for the hair loss.
So. If my hair are thinning (think it already started again) but dont fall too much, maybe by taking small doses, it's worth the gains. If not, i'll definitely stop. Will give a feedback in 1 or 2 months.
Did your hair recover?
Update?
It's not a myth, people are different. Quite a group of people experience increased hairloss while om creatine. Im one of them unfortunately, did about 4-5 cycles.
Its not proven and not an official side effects, does not mean It's not the case for some people. Quite a large group of people experience it, do a quick Reddit search for example.
Male pattern boldness is very common, very common. This guys is pushing his sales not caring about what happens to the majority.
why then most gym rats using creatine are having increasing cap collections?😂
Because steroids causes hair loss not creatine 😂
So, it does
No it doesn’t. It causes a healthy amount of DHT. So it isn’t linked at all.
@Lol-bv9pj True, i have been using it for a while. It has nothing to do with hormones.
@@lol9334 I can see why you were confused tbh
@@Lol-bv9pjeven a slight increase in DHT can cause baldness for people predisposed to pattern baldness (DHT sensitive people)
Y’Know hair loss isn’t = hair loss. The speed, the severity and pattern of it makes a big difference. Especially when you are taking measures to prevent hair loss that you know is genetic, creatine can be awful for you.
ESPECIALLY when you are young. Going bald at 25 vs 35 is a gigantic difference
A Plethora of Anecdotal Personal experiences shared by people in the comments across numerous channels expressing how creatine accelerated their hairloss or made them thin. Nothing to do with that one study 🙄
noticed that too
Every fucking article or channel brings in the ONE study from 2009. I never saw anything like this. They can study this shit easily and quantifiably. The fact that no one has is suspicious enough. The “most studied” supplement doesn’t have ONE study out of the 1000’s to address the #1 side effect that would influence whether or not people use this substance? Please.
Exactly. There are just too many men - with no financial incentive to do so - reporting a correlation between creating and hair loss. The rugby study is a straw man.
Here's a question i wouldn't mind answering; Caffine and creatine. I like my coffee, and i use a preworkout that has quite a bit of caffine in it. Now i'm told, caffine can reduce the effectiveness of creatine? Wouldn't mind an answer on how i can get the benefit of both worlds, if thats at all possible?
If my hair lose genetics are bot that great but i am 15.5, creatine can effect my hair?
So many anecdotes though and the only ever study said it increases DHT? There’s clearly a link there.
There should be a proper study where one group takes a placebo, one group takes Creatine and another group takes Creatine + Finasteride. Their DHT levels should be measured before and after as well as a phototrichogram to measure the hair follicles.
I have no idea, why this hasn't been done already? They say Creatine has been tested to death, yet they leave this out?

Well im here to break the news. I took creatine and lost a huge amount of hair because of it. Then i stopped taking it cause chunks of hair fel of in the shower. So the myth is not a myth. Some people like myself took the punishment
im noticing my hair falling effortlessly when i comb my hair while taking a shower
Did it recover?
@@Bigbro4443 i stopped taking a month ago,i think it improves over time. I have lesser hair fall unlike when im taking creatine
is it recovering or not?
@@leonhofmann1673 it is
It will most likely speed up your hair loss though, because of the up regulation in DHT production.
Thing is scientifically it’s a myth but all the people I’ve seen taken creatine are bald. Genetics maybe
Losing hair is a sign of danger. Boycott creatine
I definitely experienced some hair loss and hair thinning after taking creatine (none in my family is bold), and at that time I didn’t even know about this “myth” that I have now heard about quite a lot, so sadly I decided to stop taking creatine months ago. Now I would really really like to start taking it again but really torn as I truly mind my hair and don’t want to risk losing more only to get some extra gains
If you’re genetically predisposed just go all in for the gains🫡
@@jareddavis4483 terrible advice. The gains are temporary, the hair loss is forever. It won’t grow back after you stop. So you’ll be older, scrawnier and balder when all is said and done.
@@jareddavis4483genetically predisposed might still mean you only start balding after 35.
Imagine becoming bald at 25 instead for an extra 2lbs of muscle.
Update?
Creatine is the only supplement I’ve changed in my diet and my hair has been thinning out for past couple months. I’ve tried looking for answers. All I get videos is videos like this. Imagine those studies are from people who make the Creatine. 😭😂 it’s all about money bro. Sadly
I have genetic hair loss.... So if I use creatinine, will it promote the hair loss again?
Can the hairloss from creatine be recovered?
like if i stop taking creatine will my hair grows out again? Or no?
Yes
No, the follicles become micronised
It will not!! It will undergo miniaturisation
@@julliekoningeven for those who dont see mpb traits?
@@rnavplays3170 No. If you have mpb it's an issue. Some people, most people actually, won't see a bad side effect on their hair from creatine. I myself do see it impacting my hair negatively. One way to find out :).
What about the people who have male pattern baldness but are on treatments like finasteride and minoxidil?
Thats my concern. Im on finasteride and my hair loss has stopped. Not gonna ruin it just to taje creatine.
@@silent_anon404 exactly same here. I’ve had significant recovery and dont shade nearly as much as I used to so Im worried if I start creatine I will lose all the gains I made from fin and min…
I’ve been on finasteride and minoxidil since 2018 and have not lost any hair. Whenever I take creatine I experience massive shedding. When I taking it, it stops in a few weeks.
@@mikerobinson4842You mean if we take creatine which basically increases DHT levels and then if we are taking 1 MG finasteride still it will cause massive shedding? I was thinking to try creatine 3 mg a day but now not sure
@@geekbotaii might actually give this a try and update you guys on here. As soon as I notice any level of increase or unusual shedding I will stop using it but I dont think it’s gonna cause any harm from just “trying”
Lmao if your genetically predisposed to hair loss an increase in DHT will accelerate it.
Nice try tho
Crazy how ppl think its a myth lmao while its not the actual cause of hairloss, it absolutely does accelerate it for us with the andro gene. Wish i could take it so i could finally hit 315 bench 😭
What if you take Creatine but don’t consume enough water? Would this cause this problem with hairloss? It’s not convenient for these companies to let the truth out.
Fuck iam 16 and when my hair get wet i see my scalp and my hair is thin. My late father was bald but i thought it was bcuz he ate a lot of salt when training in the military and became bald when he got promoted to major but now also my brother is going bald and i think i will go bald too. So why not take creatine and where to buy. It does not sell in my country
yes it does end of story people need to stop saying it doesn’t
Errr i would say your example isn't correct. It will likely speed it up in that group
Levi colwell welcome to the premier league, im crying Saeed is 2 much, the guy was literally playing in the prem last year 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If im going to lose my hair i chose rad
Wait you gave really bad advice here because you said if you're susceptible to it, then it will actually add towards your hairloss but you said otherwise
IMPORTANT FACT: One large steak alone has 5-7g creatine!!! So people really over thinking this. Taking 3-5g of creatine supplement will do nothing to your hairloss.
IMPORTANT FACT: that would need to be 1kg steak... , when do you eat that much?
Yea but we dont eat steak everyday but we take creatine everyday big difference!
yes it can !
when you see the price it has gone up
Creatine do causes hair
No it doesn’t
@@Lol-bv9pj those who have not good hair genetics they will loose hair while using creatine
But u dont know if you have good genetic or? Maybe only if your dad and his dad have good hair. If u dont take creatin u can have hair to 50 probably but if u do then u can be bald in 30 ? Hm
