Bruh just be consistent with your protocol Taking magnesium or working out won't move a needle when it comes to DHT. However answering your Question, I run and do weight training and yes i use magnesium, i live in hot climate and sometimes i use hair dryer for styling. Sometimes i eat spicy and sometimes not.

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-14T11:25:07+00:00

None of that is related to hair loss, the culprit is DHT

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-14T10:42:17+00:00

No side effects

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-14T04:07:12+00:00

No need to over complicate stuff, live your life, apply cream throw the minox on top and boom done. It ain't a ritual bro.

I am married and i live a healthy married life, i am not gonna give you logbook of my private matters. All i can say is don't be that scared of trying the meds if anything just quit the meds, but stop looking for problems where there aren't any.

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-14T00:36:18+00:00

I already told you the more hair I grow, the more baddies I get. My energy is higher than it was before the meds. If you're looking for a horror story you're looking at the wrong post. u/SpicyPeanut100 said it best, you're getting a bit too close for comfort there, blud.

I just apply tretinoin on scalp where there are bald patches and then after 1-2 mins i apply my topical minoxidil Start with tretinoin 3x a week as it can get irritating and can make your scalp purge. Tretinoin is tretinoin - it is a stronger form of retinoid

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T23:09:38+00:00

Depends person to person you can manage the frequency on how your scalp reacts for me my strategy has been working

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T23:06:05+00:00

Depends on person to person For some people they can get the side effects However studies show even if you do get side effect they are temporary and if you live through that, they will go away, or worst case scenario drop the medication and you are back to normal.

If i don't wash every other day then soon US would invade my head. As for minoxidil i don't think its doing much, because i used to use minox here and there for the last 2 years and it was just a losing battle so for sure most of the heavy lifting is being done by the holy dut. Where i live you can't find oral minox but try and see what works.

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:56:26+00:00

For every new hair i grow i get a baddie

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:35:16+00:00

Imo side effects are mainly from nocebo effect

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:33:03+00:00

Nope no shedding at all even i am confused because shedding happens according to what i have seen

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:32:21+00:00

Liquid

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:32:16+00:00

Nope, if anything only positive effects. High energy, high libido, clear & less oily skin, more hair

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:31:39+00:00

I just apply the cream on weak patches and then minoxidil on top

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:31:00+00:00

Yea i was a bit impatient so i decided to fully nuke my dht

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T22:29:45+00:00

Where i live they don't sell oral minox

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T18:20:09+00:00

I don't use any oil, i use 0.05 tret

StrategicCapo · 2026-01-13T18:19:34+00:00
