Thread: hair loss question

  1. #1

    hair loss question

    this is probably one of the serious side effects to me other than stunting growth. my question is how common is it or what are the chances of losing hair? is there anyone that has had this happen to them? and what are the steroids that cause this? i can't imagine myself without hair

    How old are you?

    Losing hair is a genetic predisposition and steroids speed it up

    Agreed. However since you have no idea what that means, it basically means if your dad, and his dad experienced hair-loss, you most likely will too.

    If that is the case, steroids will increase the chance and severity of the hair loss. However, at your age, you will most likely be fine.

    Was that directed to me?

    To the thread starter, I am asking for your age because you mentioned that stunting your growth was a possible side so I am assuming you are young.

    If your moms dad is bald - you will 85% go bald. Or at least have really thin hair.
    The arsenal to prevent it (from today until the rest of your life) Rogaine Extra Strength, Nizoral (DHT prevention conditioner), and - of course - FINASTERIDE (1mg a day).

    That's what I take. So far, so good.
    You also have to watch what you take, if you are prone to hair loss.
    Tren, winny, all DHT steroids will rape your hair.

    this response is based off of percentages, and personal experience

    i think thats a pretty bold number there.. my moms dad is almost bald in his 70s but my dads side has a full head or hair (basically 0 recession even) into his 80s.

    DHTs are usually most associated with hairloss afaik

    well its not always that easy either.. the recessive gene could still be in you, but not in any one else in your family. it just means you have much better odds

    It doesnt work like that really...you are 30 years old, say you are "genetically programmed" to go bald at 45...steroids simply speed the process up and you may start balding at 32...or even immediately. Balding is more of a process rather then something that just happens. It takes years to fully bald once you start. In prone individuals, steroids can speed this up very very significantly.

    yes steroids will speed up the process if not taking the necessary precautions to slow it abit down. i noticed that, through my cousin he was juicing at the age of 19yr. in his cycles he used lots winny his hair started fading at 20yr by 23yrs he lost everything on top of his head, u could tell he was 30 being bold. by the way his dad is bold too.

    yo man it doesn't matter how young you are, or your family history. I mean, statistically it does, but it doesnt mean you should feel safe. I got no family history, none, and I'm not even 23 yet. AND it wasn't even a cycle that did it, it was anti-Es. Now I'm on the road to baldboro.

    Take all the safety precautions and don't be a fool and think you're safe for any reason.

    Mike I know you don't want to hear this, but dont do it. Wait a couple more , years, those couple of centimeters could actually be a couple of inches. I did my first cycle at 17 and I was 5 '10, my boy was about the same height and were both in college and hes about 6' and its a little depressing knowing what could of been. As far as balding goes, look at your uncles and grandfather on your mothers side. If their heads are bald, theres a good chance you will be to and roids will only speed it up. I havent done a cycle since that one at 17 (biggest regret) and im fighting hairloss now. Ill probably end up getting some finasteride

    it's called MPB, if it's in your genes then most likely it will happen.
    Btw never new masteron was hard on your hair...

    Masteron is a DHT derivative
    so all those drugs, masteron, winstrol, etc. are like taking hairloss pills
