As the subject says. Also some peoples experiences with hair loss and test e cycle would be great :)

Oh and Merry Christmas for Saturday everyone!

TestE should be no problem its DHT derivatives like Winstrol, Masteron, Proviron etc that can be a problem. It more likely to effect you if you are subject to the genetic disadvantages of Male Pattern Baldness. then its best to give in & shave it off. :D

Not too many Pro's with a full head of hair unless they've had hair implants! :pfft: :grin:

That said if you're not genetically predisposed to MPB (i.e. dont have lots of DHT receptors in the scalp) you should be okay regardless.

Some good points made!

Ill just do it and see what happens lol :)

How much is propecia these days?

Hair loss in males in caused by too much testosterone. Propecia works by lowering your testosterone. Kinda be counterproductive to do both. Apparantly some guys on propecia start to develop man boobs as well after awhile.

Propecia doesn't act on Testosterone levels Peachy!

Finarsteride (TMed as Propecia, Proscar) is an alpha reductase inhibitor. This is the enzyme that converts Test to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

DHT is more androgenic than test, and can act on receptors in the scalp to contribute to MPB.

That said it is in effect an anti-androgen & can lead to some nasty side effects - gyno, errectile dysfunction etc.

if you want a cheap soloution to mpb , just go see your doctor .

mine prescribed finasteride tablets called fintrall 5mg .

you cut the tablets into quarters and have 1 quarter a day which gives you 1 .3mg of finisteride per day .

this is the same as propecia which gives you 1mg of finisteride a day .

i think a months supply of propecia is $130ish but a months supply of fintral (30 tablets cut into quarters ) gives you 4 months supply for $40 !!!

price won me over as i dont wanna spend much on keeping my hair , but at that price its too cheap not to try it and it works , my thinning hairs stopped and has started to regrow on top .

niceeeeee :D

Buzz cut for me ALL DAY! :pfft:

A No 1 - now there's a real man's haircut. :nod:

Wonder how many real men on here use "hair products".

What do you mean by "hair products" oldfella? Propecia / minoxidil etc or Hair wax / gel / mousse etc?

The wax and gel brigade. What the hell's wrong with good old Brylcreem :pfft: Seems a lot of "modern" guys have more bottles in the bathroom than their girlfriends.
