Time for Finasteride?

Been cruising for a while at 180 mg Test. Somewhere in the past year or so I feel like I've started to notice my frontal hairline starting to thin, like my hair used to be thicker, but now it's easier to see my scalp in the front or something if I move my hair around. Not sure if I'm being paranoid and it's the way my barber cuts my hair, but it just feel like it's getting weird. I notice every time I run my hand through my hair one or two hairs fall out. Doesn't seem like much to be honest. Is this just a side effect of me getting older and being on TRT?

I have thought about starting Finasteride at 0.25 mg/day. Somewhere around 6 months ago I got my DHT levels tested and they were 120 ng/dL (reference range of 12-65 ng/dL). Not sure if that's high for being on cruise or what. Test Total was around 1200 ng/dL. If anyone has any advice on this or can chime in that would be much appreciated.

Next time you have your hair done, since you imply that the same person always does it, ask them to be honest and tell you if it has been thinning or receding. That'll tell you if you should start on a drug regimen or not. Alternatively, you could join the 'just shave it bro' crowd or find a hat you like to wear; Literally nothing wrong with an adult man having short or no hair unless you have a real weird looking head. Hell, most guys on gear fear losing their hair because they think women won't find them attractive anymore but that's nonsense. Wife up a good woman, the good ones don't give a shit if your hair goes out. If you're still out trying to nut in random freshly legal pussy just keep your beard trimmed up nicely and you'll be fine since a LOT of the young ones have serious Dad fetishes nowadays so a bit of a receding hairline with a good physique is gonna make em fuckin soaked.

I second the above statement. I have thinning hair and my SO is on the younger side (24yo) and she's as bad as they come. I keep my hair cut VERY short and she's always asking me to shave it to the skin. I know it is hard accepting losing your hair but in reality no one gives a fuck. Plus if you have a decent physique, which is not hard to achieve compared to "normal" standards having hair or not really does not matter.

Hey Mike have a watch of this video that addresses the dosing. Their opinion is 0.25 mg isnt effective, rather 1mg 3x a week. They have some other videos which are good.


I was prescribed 1 mg per day but have been taking it three times a week for the past two years. My receding hair line isn't getting worse and seems stabilized.

I take 1mg a day and also Costco minoxidil foam. My hairline has been much better since starting. I’m extremely happy with using both! Highly recommend.

Do you use the foam all over your head?
Hey bud. My hair is extremely thick on the sides back and top of my head, I noticed some thinning in my hairline (front) due to I’m sure high doses of test, tren, and other compounds I use, as well as natural hair loss. So.. that being said I just use it on my hairline in the front. However, use it where you need brother. My buddy only uses it on his eye brows, he’s had success also. The finn @ 1mg a day with minoxidil is when I started to notice a dramatic difference. Now I can rock no hat and not be worried about it. (Hair skin nail gummies are also helpful and dht blocker shampoo & conditioner) good luck on the journey! 🤙🏻

I'm taking Dut right now plus Nizrol shampoo. Rarely I'll microneedle and put on some Rogaine but it's a pain in the ass to me so I don't do it that often. Taking some oral Lonitab right now just as an experiment, would be easier than having to apply the rogaine and I don't mind having more bodyhair in general. So far it's working for me, looks like my hairline where it was starting to thin has thickened back up. Off cycle I plan on swapping the Dut for Fin though, just taking it now since all the extra test so I want to crush DHT.

I have some RU I gotta try with the Dut, apparently Dut + RU is insane but I guess I'm just too lazy to put the shit on haha.
