Anyone have personal experience with it for hair loss?

Side effects and results..

I have long dreads down to my azz crack,
Hair is still growing, roots are still strong
But a small area up top is thinning,

Only on 250mg test ew, 25mg aromasin 2x week, 10mg Cialis 2x week and just started 200mg deca ew

I know it's not steroid related, doubt it's age related or something hereditary, and I don't use products or chemicals in my hair other than an organic shampoo (Dr.Bronners)

I wanna nip this shxt in the azz lol

Doesn't do much for that top you're concerned about. It blocks DHT which seems to effect the front more. Side effects are minimal but can shut down your sex drive. The effects won't come for a long time. They say 6 months but for most guys, it's 9-12 months and once you stop, the balding process starts again.

If you do go down this road, check out ADC for it, they have it and it's not priced that bad.

How much can/will it affect the benefits of whatever AAS you are taking? Will DHT derived steroids be canceled out or returns diminished? Seems on the cycle OP posted that finasteride could negate most of the AAS benefits but I am clueless here. I usually only take finasteride when I am taking a break from AAS.

I had the reversed. It will work for the top so you may see some results.

Far better option, as evidenced by all the rich mother****ers going with it, than permanently killing your DHT levels.

I have no personal experience with any of this (#blessed) but I have studied the 5a-reductase inhibitor class fairly extensively. I wouldn't go anywhere near that shit. I'd rather be bald, and I say that as a dude with a big ass forehead.

Estrogen is an important hormone for hair growth. Are you just throwing an AI at it or do you know you need it?

I started finasteride recently. We’ll see if the results are good.

My estro w/o an ai is around 90-95 using any dose test
25mg aromasin 2x week lowers it down to 33

Should I lighten up on the dose?
33 is within test range 8-35

Nah, it was just something to consider if you didn't need it. If you're in range the AI isn't going to be the cause of thinning.

My understanding is that taking a DHT steroid while on a 5ar like finasteride will cause more testosterone aromatization and so is not advised
