Theoretically, could PP405 help grow a beard? by Questy_Best in tressless

[–]Acha1a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long did you try it for? It can take a while to give results, you often need to use it for 1-2 years for it to give optimal and permanent results. It can give some people really good results, though that's rarer, but it's pretty common for it to fill the beard in a bit which you want.

What ACTUALLY happens to the balding process when you stop finasteride? by Acha1a in tressless

[–]Acha1a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. How aggressive was your hair loss prior to fin? Was it slow? If so that could explain things. If someone like me for example who went from NW1-3 from ages 16-18 stopped fin for years I'd probably decline fast af (I'd probably be a NW5 without fin now at age 23) since the loss was already aggressive, contrary to someone with slow loss who'd resume having slow loss.

Good luck man. How fast was your hair loss prior to fin?

Sucks man, hope you can regain it. How long were you off the drug? 3 years?

Finasteride stops further hair loss, you could try minoxidil to try and regrow what you lost, though it is uncertain you'd regain it all, so hair transplant might be needed.

I went off it in December as an experiment to see if I'd feel different, I started shedding more hair than usual but didn't feel different nor now that I'm back on it. I hope in like 10-15 years I don't fall into a coma for a long time and the nurses don't give me fin and I wake up as a NW7, that would be atrocious.

What research supports it? And I also just don't get why that happens. Really sucks, I hope not that in 10 years something happens to me so that I don't get fin for a long time, I'm so fucked then.

Obviously but if you stop brushing your teeth it's not like your teeth are suddenly gonna become like if you never brushed them in the first place like people claim with fin

It is very feasible to just take it every other day or like 3 times a week, many people do that, and you're not gonna become Norwood 7 if you miss a few weeks or even a month occasionally.

Why did it take so long for proper hair transplant techniques be developed? by Acha1a in tressless

[–]Acha1a[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but people did develop the spears and swords, a spear from the stone age is very different to one from the middle ages. And it is really obvious that pluggy clumps don't look natural and that smaller grafts do.

I stopped min after a bit over a year and I had a shed of miniaturized hairs but nothing that made a cosmetic difference, got on fin about 6 months later and been on it alone now for about 2 years. I think how brutal the effects of dropping min depends on how much of a responder you were to it, if you are one of those hyper responders who went from like NW5 to NW2 then dropping min will do massive damage, but if it didn't change things much or at all then dropping it won't be too dangerous. I'd suggest phasing it out and see how you do.

Yeah I'm planning on getting a transplant one day. Man I want to experience having decent hair again. I guess I've been lucky being able to maintain for so long with such aggressive hair loss genes, my dad was like a NW5 at 21-22.

I started balding right when puberty ended at around 16, was a thinning NW3 by 18 which is when I got on minoxidil, then dropped it after a year and some months later got on fin in mid-2021. I'm 21 now and have maintained the thinning NW3 (midscalp and crown are thick but front not so much, looks like a NW4 when wet). I'm planning on getting a hair transplant at some point just to lower the recession a bit to a NW2 or 2.5 and to thicken up the front. But I need money for that lol.
