How long for finasteride effects to show?
I've started my first cycle of 400mg test enan. I took my third shot just a few days ago. Today in the shower I was shampooing with Nizoral 2% when I noticed a crapload of hair on my sud-covered hands. As soon as I noticed the hair I popped out of the shower and took down 2.5mg of finasteride.
I've been freaking out over this for a bit, I took a white sheet and started waving my hands through my hair and I keep seeing hairs fall out. It'll be a bitch if it doesn't grow back postcycle and I keep losing my hair at the age of 19. But I guess that's the risk I took when I started dabbling in AS.
Does anyone know how long finasteride takes to kickin? When should I notice my hair stop falling out? I'm planning to take 1.25mg finasteride ed and shampoo with 2% Nizoral ed and see how my hair reacts. I might have to cut this cycle short if it gets too bad :/

How the hell are you losing your hair. What other AS have you done. I started when i was 19 and never had the problem. I am currently doing test E and have no problems whatsoever. Just curious on how you are losing your hair at 19.

First bro, you shouldn't be juicing at 19.
If your mom's dad or other males in her family are bald, there is not alot you can do. You are genetically predisposed to it and the AAS use is bringing it on early.

It started to kick in for me about 2-3 months after I started.

Hell, i was the kid who had a full beard in the 7th grade. i started to lose my hair when i was 17...i feel your pain. With finasteride, imo i think it takes at least 4months to see any results.

My grandfather on my mom's side has a full head of hair right now at the age of 97. My dad however is balding. I wasn't loosing any hair until I hit up the test, and I don't think I'll continue losing hair once I stop. However, having the hair growing back is a different issue.
I'll continue to shampoo with Nizoral 2% and keep taking finasteride, see if that slows it down abit in the next week. Has anyone tried taking Revivogen before or know of any other hair protection products that work fast when on AS?
It'll be a shame to stop my cycle after only 3 shots. The only thing that's happend so far is my natural test has shut down, no real gains. But then again I don't want to continue shedding my hair like a dog.
So disappointing... :/

956, i thought i was the only one. I've always had thin hair and its been falling out bad since i was 16. I've got a relative go completely bald at 19 . I'm 20 now and s#it aint looking good for me at all. Will the finasteride just stop the falling out of hair, or could it actually regrow for u?

I've heard Dutasteride works if the follical or whatever hasn't scarred over.

It is if you're married but I don't think most girls go for the bald "Mr.Clean" look.

Keep up the Nizoral shampoo 2x's ED but the finasteride will take at least 3 months before it starts working.

So I guess I can conclude that having finasteride if hairloss occurs during my cycle is a crappy idea? I was under the impression that you could throw it in 2 weeks after your cycle started and keep it going ED until 2 weeks after your last shot and it would keep hairloss down.

Well before I started this cycle I didn't have any hairloss occuring, so I'm guessing after I stop and my test levels return back to normal, no more hair's going to fall out so I won't need finasteride. The bad thing is that the hairs that are falling out are falling out in random places, not just at the front, so I don't think I can really check to see if they're growing back in again once I was to finish this cycle. I was prepared for some hairloss, but not this much at such a conservative dosage of test.
Having said that, I think it's best if I were to just stop the cycle cold right now and go straight to PCT. Then monitor my hair afterwards to see if any continue to fall out, and I guess check to see if the thickness goes back to what it was in about 4 or 5 months before I decide to cycle again.
Thanks for all the help to the people that posted.

Bro, I'd stay on the finasteride for at least 4 months post cycle. Lot's of guys start losing their hair at 19 w/o any help from the juice so don't worry you aren't alone. It sounds like you are prone to MPB so you might be looking at using finasteride long term. No big deal on that either since it will help you keep your hair and helps your prostate. If you think you are ok 4 months post cycle then drop the finasteride and see how your hair responds.
Peace,
CC

Bros,
34 years old and have been doing the Mr. Clean look for 3 months now. I always had a mop, starting thinning early 20s, but had a lot of hair until 30, then went the the cesar. Then decided the comb over was imminent, so I Mr. Cleaned it. I wasnt going out trying to make do with what hair I have.
And I tell you what. I look a lot younger. I get carded all the time now. And the women do not seem to mind. I actually was picked up on by an 18 year old last weekend.
Girls dig conifidence. note I said confidence, not arrogance. So if you have a good build, confidence. Do not sweat the hair.

Hair is overrated, I have a had a "high and tight" cut since I was two yrs old, so my hair never gets longer than a 1/2 on top, and stubble on the sides. hoo yahh. So my point is just buzz it. But I am so good looking anyway it doesnt matter how I wear my hair.
