Any IB guys get a hair transplant after IB and do you have a full head of hair/smooth hairline?
Im losing at a crazy clip and I think it’s this job. Used to have a full head of healthy hair and I wanna have that again.
Curious to hear about the hair plugs experience and would prefer that over the counter stuff

It's not the job, its your genes.
You’d have to be ignorant to think intense external factors (bad sleep, messed up hormonal cycle, stress) would not amplify any genetic predisposition to hair loss.
Anyone do the full transplant? I just want it all back. Think it’s the little sleep and stress
Worried to go forward with the chemical stuff if I can just get some plugs and ride from there
My brother got a hair transplant and honestly it looks amazing. I gotta say he didn't have hair for the past 20-25 years so the doctors couldn't do any miracles, but given his initial situation they did a very good job
Someone above said it's not your job, it's your genes and they are spot-on. While general hair fallout can be expected with extreme stress, if it's thinning in a classical male balding pattern, then it's genes. The only real thing that will keep your hair is finasteride or duasteride. The topical regimens don't succeed in completely halting or reversing hair loss for the majority of people. They can have a synergistic effect if used in conjunction with finasteride or duasteride though. The latter is more effective but with potentially stronger side effects. FUE is the best type of transplant you can get and pretty much looks totally natural when done right. However, depending on the donor area, the dermatologist might recommend you go on finasteride after. I don't have a transplant but started taking Fin 10 years ago and have largely maintained exactly what I had. Wish I started sooner tbh but contemplating if FUE makes sense because I don't want to take a drug my whole life.
Pretty sure you have to stay on Fin post transplant. The transplanted hair won't go, but the rest will continue to thin. I'm considering the same right now. $10k is pretty much the floor for a transplant in the US though so its not cheap.
I heard fin can have massive side effects tho
Go to Istanbul
Have the worlds best food and see one of the oldest cities and get it for half the price
My friend literally just came back from Turkey for hair transplant. Def a good option if you are cash restrained
Yeah, turkey is known for all-in packages (surgery/transplant, hotel, in-country transport) for like $5k or so. Just a matter of finding a good provider to do it which is trickier. South Korea is good too but even harder for a foreigner to find a good service unless you can get a good referral from a local.
Dr. Carlos Wesley….thank me later.

Start with rogaine and if that doesn't work, add finasteride.
Finasteride - the only solution. Depending on the side effect you might have tho.
Anyone have side effects on fin?
I personally experienced something similar, but I was able to slow it down by taking Vitamin D supplements. My family genes are actually decent for hair, but in my mid-twenties I started losing clumps of hair every day, my hairline started receding all around, and I developed a bald spot on the back of my head.
Genes play the main role as everyone else has already said, but if you're like me and only see a few hours of sunlight a week, you probably aren't getting enough Vitamin D which can cause premature hair loss.
Even if it doesn't work, it's worth a shot as supplements are only like $15 a bottle and there are probably other benefits.
I also have a friend who actually lost all of his hair in his twenties and he had really good results from a transplant in Turkey.
