How to prevent hair loss
I have to preface this by saying that I am being fully serious.
Have done a BB IB internship and accepted FT offer and have started to notice my hairline is receding.
I know for a fact that a lot of people here have dealt with this - what can I start doing now before I start to best prevent any hair loss?
Open to anything
finasteride + keratin/biotin is all u need
source: have an older family friend who has been maintaining his hair since 2019 and gave me the following advice for when I break into the industry
TLDR: Take oral dutasteride/finasteride and topical minoxidil and start early (even if you don't experience hair loss yet, you probably will and these are great preventative measures)
Appreciate this. Thanks
Don't worry about hair loss. Any follicles that are laid off from your head will find plenty of employment on your back
legendary comment
oral dutasteride + oral minoxidil.
Do you drink coffee? Quitting caffeine can drastically reduce hairloss.
Is there any science behind this?
You can't prevent hair loss generally without preventing your genetics from being the way they are. While environmental and dietary issues may exacerbate the issue, male pattern hair loss is purely a genetic phenomenon. Fin / Dut will allow most people to maintain their hair vs growing it back so best to start early on it. If you've got a shiny dome, Fin / Dut aren't going to be much help unless you're an insane responder than represents a vast minority of cases.
Finasteride. Everything else is snake oil. Sprint to the nearest dermatologist.
Finasteride will kill you inside the risks are NOT WORTH IT!!!
Fuck these vain shills on this site. Fuck the western world. Adapt to the Eastern European ethos of not giving a fuck. A man’s worth is not his appearance.
I was at self checkout and saw a security cam video of the top of my head last year and had no idea I was thinning that much. Got on Fin/Min for the past year and it looks a lot better.
I haven't had any side effects thus far.
Stop giving a shit.
If you start receding, get a haircut that suits your hairline. If you start balding proper, grow a beard and shave your head.
Being bald isn’t unattractive. Being insecure is.
This is the only good answer here. Hair loss is only one of very many physical declines you'll experience as you get older, and one that is truly an uphill battle to stop if you're prone to it.
You can take meds, but that will only go so far, and they'll eventually start losing their effectiveness. You can get a hair transplant, but this is also just a stopgap solution until it stops being effective. You can wear a piece, but they are pain in the ass and often easy to spot. Doing all of these things will just increase your anxiety surrounding hair loss, because they're rituals that constantly remind you of the hair loss, and don't fix the actual problem, which is how you feel about the hair loss.
Learning how NOT to care about a 'problem' that is a) practically unfixable, and b) ultimately won't matter, is the only sustainable way to deal with it.
Almost every male will experience hair loss at some point. What you can do about depends on genetics. If you have good hair genes, lots of things can help you. Using hair products that are natural can slow down hair loss and so can taking biotin
If you have bad hair genes, it would be much more difficult to slow down the process. In this situation, you might need a hair transplant.
Could be the start of a mature hairline? Others will say receding is still receding... But I noticed some slight pull back near my temples a few years ago, and it hasn't moved since. Research says this is a "mature hairline" where it will stay current until who knows when.
At the end of the day though, it's just hair and stressing over it will cause you to lose more. If you go bald, fuck it. Plenty of bald boys still clean up. Confidence is a huge part of it, bald or not.
I’d stay away from oral finasteride and try topical finasteride + oral minoxidil + use a dermapen on your scalp once every week or two. Look up moreplatesmoredates YouTube channel it’ll have all you need.
