Avadart can grow hair back and it did help thicken hair, but it will not regrow your hairline, especially since yours sounds hereditary. Avadart will help combat hair loss while using AAS. Sounds like you are somewhat fortunate that you do not have problems in crown area. Also use Minoxidal twice a day. I do not have any sides from Avadart. I used Propecia for a long time with no side effects, but after around 5 years i started having Libido problems. My hair Doc recommended Avadart and it worked better. The sides from Propecia kind of creep up on you. Also, certain steroids such as winstrol can cause severe hair loss. But everyone is different. I know a guy who uses every steroid that would normally cause hair loss and he has a head of hair like a racoon. if you are concerned about hair loss like i am make sure you always use an Estro blocker. I use to get hair loss from 200mgs of test a week, now i can use 500 and i no longer have hair loss. The best fix is hair grafts. If you are 44 as profile states, you are probably a good candidate for grafts. A good doc can do 2,500-3,000 grafts and make your hair look thick. Just remember if you get grafts, your normal hair loss will continue, but the grafts will stay for a long time.
