If you're suffering from male pattern baldness then yeah, this is the only route to go. Even I started balding when I was like 17 or 18 but with me it happened a bit slowly and I still have a lot of hair but yeah the temples are receding still and I do use minoxidil.
I'd suggest go to a dermatologist first and see what they recommend and then start with minox and after a few years you can hop on finasteride as well. Go to the tressless subreddit you'll find a lot of help there but yeah go to a dermatologist first.
Aur haan ye jo comments me natural remedies ki baat kar rahe hain inpe zyada focus karne ki zarurat nahi hai kyuki none of that stuff can actually help with pattern baldness.
I would recommend you to dabble with finastride and see if it gives side effects to you as minoxidil give temporary gains it does not actually block or inhibit dht in body so hairfall starts as soon as you stop it on the contrary finastride actually blocks the hormone
Same with me. I started losing hair in my temples area when I was 20 and I am 30 now and I am still losing hair on temples area and some density. Crown hasn't started yet.
If I still have a head full of hair by the time I am 30, I'll consider that a huge win. I'll be turning 24 this year so there's still a lot of time to go. Dekhte hain kya hota hai ab

This is what I am left with now :'(
totally agree with what he said. my bro in law is a dermatologist and he said that minox and all are not the best choice always. there are chances of it misfiring and increasing ur hairfall so better to get checked. also maintain a balanced diet with all vitamins. its necessary for hair regrowth
Hey I suffer from it to hence I'm asking. Does Minoxidil just arrest hairfall or does it help hair grow back as well? Does it help with density and growth? I've been to two dermat but one didn't recommend this rather gave me some pills and the other talked about some kinda treatment which would need to be done on-site and is very expensive.This is something new, hence I'm asking. Also how long does it take before I can see results
As far as I know, minoxidil doesn't arrest hairfall. It promotes hair growth and that involves both new hair and better health of already existing hair. This can, in turn, delay the rate of baldness but the thing that actually arrests hair fall in male pattern baldness is Finasteride which is a prescription based drug.
As for minoxidil results, it can take anywhere between 3 to 6 months to notice any sort of progress. If you need any more information, I would highly recommend going to The Hair Loss Show YouTube channel and browsing the tressless subreddit. Hope this helps!
Arey Bhai kya bholo tum?!
Please refer to some less drastic measures. Minoxidil was a shit solution. Redensyl is far better even if you retain 5% less than Minox.
Finasteride is a no go for any self respecting youth. Look at Hubermann talk about Post Finasteride Syndrome. That shit gives you ED. Fucking ED man. That shit will dig away at his self esteem 100% more than whatever receding hairline can do.
I would have advised Redensyl if there were enough studies about it and if it had been approved by FDA. It's the same reason why I didn't recommend rosemary essential oil when there are a few studies showing that it's as effective as minox 2%.
But that's exactly how the corpo works my dude.
Why would they payroll a study that says that incredibly easy to obtain product works better than gatekept pharmaceutical.
The Conspiracy theory sounding facts aside.
Finasteride is a proven cause of Erectile dysfunction. When you artificially increase the heartrate to boost circulation the penis develops resistance to erection cues. This shit sometimes is sadly not reversible aka Incurable why would anyone with a sane mind want to have that shit.
Just google Post Finasteride Syndrome.
It's literally like giving heroin for common cold.
Fuck the FDA dude! Fuck those Bastards they don't have your best interests at heart. Not anymore!
Not after Cyrus Fucking Poonawalla became a billionaire for a vaccine that did fuck all!
I'm not gonna wave a red flag and shout wake up sheeple but I'm dangerously close to doing exactly that. You can't discredit everything you experience just because of some study.
To grow the hair on a previously empty scalp all you have to do is increase the blood flow during the Anagen Phase of your hair follicles which in any functional male is 90% of the hair at all times. You have to keep at it until the Tilogen phase of all follicles have completed is what they recommend. That's a long long fucking time. You just have to have a tiny bit of perseverance and a lot more commitment to the deed.
Aloe vera + rosemary oil + hibiscus alternate usage
There is a really good hair oil from Arata the one with curcumin aka turmeric.
Aloe vera is gonna be the most impactful ingredient. It cleanses the pores and unclogs the hair follicles and conditions the hair. It literally hair problem panacea.
Redensyl and Procapil work way better in combination than Minoxidil alone at any concentration.

There's obviously a very real chance that FDA is not approving any of the natural remedies because they have nothing to gain from it. But even then, you can never be sure what will work for you and what won't. As soon as you start balding, you're in a race against time to do something about your hair loss and then you find yourself with 2 choices. You can either go the route of natural remedies that might or might not work for you or you can start with the stuff that has been proven to work for decades at this point. In a scenario like this, I wouldn't expect a major amount to people to go with the natural route because if that stuff ends up not working for you, then you'd have lost a great amount of hair that you could've retained with the corpo drugs.
Even I have tried rosemary oil for more than 6 months and It didn't have any effect on me. If all of this stuff has worked for you then I am truly happy for you and I wish my case was like this as well but it's just not possible for me to recommend something that doesn't actually have any solid proof behind it.
And about finasteride, I know about it's serious side effects and that's why I recommended op to go to a dermatologist first because he can get his blood work done and see if he's in the safe zone for taking Finasteride. Finasteride if taken in very small amounts can lower the chances of these side effects.
And hey, if in a few years, I'll still have hair on my head then I'll definitely give the natural route a try again and if that ends up working for me then I'll make sure to contact you and tell you how happy I am but until then, I'll have to stick with minox and probably start fin as well.
Believe me, I really want my stance on these natural remedies to be changed.
Agree with everything except "go to dermatologist first". Doctors in this country push propaganda than science. I had 7.7 a1c in routine annual blood check and doctor said nothing to worry, just avoid all non veg and I'm good to go. He also suggested to take milk with turmeric powder every mornings. Lol.
Anyone saying ki minoxidil is useless , please dont listen to them. I am 17 myself , Been using Topical Minoxidil 5% & Fin 0.1% Since June last year .
Before using it , My temples were completely blank , I consulted a dermatologist and it was due to My genetics (Almost everyone male in my family is bald or have clean head at many parts) . Temples arent completely filled But Hairs have started regrowing and my visible forehead is also shortening .
It started regrowing after 4 months of Daily use. Just dont miss out , Spray & Spread it nicely everyday , One bottle would work ~3 or maybe 4 weeks . Give it time , 6 months+ is considered average for the effects to show.
not OP but im also a minoxidil and finasteride 10% user
no side effects as such
there are chances of headache and agitation in initial usage
other than that i didnt face anything
there is an info booklet inside the box which u can read as well (pretty scary stuff, but only observed in a small amount of users)
also do consult a dermatologist first, regarding dosage and concentration and to rule out any other factors of hairfall
Consult a dermatologist beforehand.
I apply it at night so I wake up with slight white flakes on my head , they are washed away easily . And It might get a little itchy at head . Other than these , I havent really noticed any side effects . ( I am not taking the pills as of now , only the spray)
Why are you using fin at 17? You should have waited until 19 or 20 at least
It stunts your sexual and height growth unless you have full grown body(generalizing 19-20 aged)
I believe The side effects you are mentioning are for Fin pills . What I’m using is Topical Solution of 0.1 Fin, 5 Min , That too consulted under a well reputed doctor.
It worked for me and has absolutely no side effects , Did my fair share of research knowing topical minox isnt unhealthy any ways and hence trusted the doctor more rather than some people on reddit.
Minox only keeps the tallogen phase of the hair for long, giving the illusion of hair growth, but in the end it doesnt prevent hair loss at the roots. Google minoxidil peak, it terms the peak comes after 1 year usage and thereafter the progress kept decresing.
STOP spreading fake information. Minoxidil can never completely stop male pattern hair fall, and regrowing hair is out of the question. I've using it since 19(I'm 22) and have looked about it a lot. There's no way it can stop/reverse it bcz it happens due to an enzyme. All it does is blocks that enzyme when applied, that too to some extent only. So minoxidil only slows down the process, just delays the inevitable. Nothing more.
While that's true, there's plenty of progress pics on r/tressless that tell you that it works. It certainly increases hair count. Combine it with fin and you see some reversal of hairline too. The effects vary from person to person of course and some people have taken it for entire year before seeing any results while some saw crazy gains in just 3 months.
It literally helped me regrow my hair. I dont know what you are yapping about. There are ten of thousands of people on r/Tressless as well who regrew their hairs. It indeed does delay the process but you are totally i correct that minox + fin doesnt regrow hairs.
There are literally almost bald people applying minox/fin , They regrew their hairs . What hairfall are they stopping when they dont even have hairs?
So you are telling me just this can do it? I have lost a lot of hair, I can see bald patches after taking a shower, can this slow it down and help me regrow a bit of it? I just don't want to go bald before 25😭 I am 20rn
>after 40 one shouldn't care for hair loss
You're not the one who decides that for others, and even if it is true for some, it doesn't change the fact that you have to take both for decades
I am speaking in general terms not including exceptions mostly male would want hair in age 20-30 for better confidence in jobs/interview.
And between 30-40 for better looking and potential female partners
Once after 40 and having a stable family and a life partner who supports you it doesn't matter what others think . Moreover wigs are options too or completely bald look.

You ever considered the fact that a male might do it for themselves and not their job or females or spouse?
I used Minidoxil probably for a year after visiting the dermatologist. It has some side effects. Kisi ko hota hai kisi ko nahi. I know ab sab aa jayega batane k liye " yeh safe hai etc" But I am just sharing my experience. It helped me to reduce hairfall as long as I was using it but once I stopped again the hairfall started.
Minoxidil only helps in hair regrow not in hair fall reduction. It will work as long as you take it, baldness is not curable, it's manageable. Topical Minoxidil is the far safer choice compared to Oral one.
for Haire fall reduction Finasteride is used but it can cause ED for some so better to try out hair supplement first.
Make sure you get some exercise along with it, I had some sides with min, mainly palpitations. It's super rare but it did happen in my case and I suspected min as it went away after stopping it.

Bro your focus should be on the diet if that also didn't help consultant a doc and then you can use it and also you can try home made natural remedies. Try keeping it as much natural as you can, chemicals are not good for long term!!
Those shit doesn't work man 😔, no offense but it can only help when you have already good genes and it's failing due to some external factor, while in most cases genes are responsible and minox is the only solution
Maybe you are not going through the same issue so let me tell you diet/ home remedies doesn’t help in most of the cases it’s stupid to waste time on them, better would be consult a doc otherwise educate yourself and start taking meds… Personally I went with the doc route and realised paying 800 for docs fee every month is just stupid so I’m buying my own meds and have seen better outcome than ever.
already kayi bar kar chuka hu (but for different issue) ab aur paise fukne ka man nahi unpe.
market se jake ye purchase karle aur ise sir me lagaye? daily?
tip for you: kafi mehanga pada hoga ye. agli bar jan aushadi kendra se khareedna
As someone who has faced issues and stopped using it i would suggest work on your deficiencies and eat nutritious food and exercise. Modern day life is full of pollution and stress, all the food we eat and water we drink are adultrated.
Minoxidil or any tablet is going to show you result till you are using it. Once you stop this you will be back to zero within 2 weeks.
All i can say this may or not be evident but be ready for baldness, dont be disheartened. Work on your body and finance. Men should be manly and masculine.
Try getting 5% minoxidil with .01 finasteride, plus improve your diet and lifestyle.
Participate in more physical activity, gym or outdoors is your choice.
Have a healthy diet, focus on the overall marco-micro nutrient profile.
At first you'll find it tough to balance but eventually it'll become a habit. And don't give up.
Are bhai, ab sun, I was in 11th when I first noticed bald patches on my head at back, at first I thought it was mistakenly cut by the barber and ignored it and after few days more bald patches occured, and when we carefully examined the patches with an MD doctor he said it is alopecia areata and my heart broken that day, suffering from an immunity disorder at such an age made me depressed, I used to put a bandana over my head to hide it and faced a lot of issues wearing it, all my friends started teasing me and all, but after 2 long years of continuous efforts from my family around 95% of what I lossed(hairs) are back and still the medication minoxidil tropical 5% is the savior here.
And I was just 15 back then in 2021.
Bhai Mai to dermatologist ke paas gya tha wo bole ki abhi chhote ho kuch nhi hoga, ye sab lene ki jarurat nhi h, par mere Baal jhade Jaa rhe hai kya Karu :(
age kya hai? If you are in the 16-20 range you can go for multivitamin tablets along with 2-5% of minoxidil. many people in the comments falling in that category are already doing it, don't worry you won't be seeing any side effects until you are going for finesteride.
Fuck man I hate how hairfall makes people like us feel so desperate about it :(
topical me side effects nahi hote (mostly)
mai khud topical lera hu
and try karna apni vitamin profile test karane ka and take multivit tabs with ample protein
This IS what you should follow if you have male pattern baldness. I have been there.. used minoxidil at the age of 18 and got a hair transplant at the age of 24.... but gave my bro the advice to go bald when he was going through the same at your age. Better than any other thing you will try. Even for self confidence!
u/Fehler_in_der_Matrix
next time onwards buy "Morr F Min 5% Fin 0.1% topical solution"... Also hop on Finasteride tablet 1mg daily if you have androgenic alopecia... checkout r/tressless for more help
This one gave me issues like extreme flakiness so I switched to water solution instead of alcohol, while it reduced flakiness to some extent it takes longer to absorb so stays on your scalp for longer and my scalp is very itchy. I might go for pills now, hopefully no sides🙏🤞
I too had androgenic alopecia when I was 20 since it was genetic but with MORR F ( minoxidil+ fin ) topical solution it all got better in just a month !
Ps. Minoxidil may initially lead to a good shed of your precious hairs but dw it would lead to more stronger hair strands plus start taking some biotin + vit d tablets like KERABOOST and have a protein rich diet ! And most importantly remain in touch with the dermatologist
ah yes. 19 rn and was given minox at 17 too. it does help, just keep using it. i was dumb to take it lightly. i might have to take GFC and fin. in a few months cause of my dumbness. haha.
I use Minopep 5%, it's Alcohol-free, so hair doesn't dry out.
Also don't jump on Finasteride directly. first try with Haire Supplements like Follihair AM/PM or densita, these are much safer option.
Bhai minfin ke side effects dhang se padh lena esp hypertension and sexual dysfunction.
Also read the correlation between male hormone and crown of head
It happens to a lot of us man, don't get disheartened. I started seeing this around 16 years, but neglected it due to my circumstances back then. I feel I should've started it when I was your age, so yeah, don't worry too much about it. Since it's topical, you mostly won't see any side effects at all. It's a pretty wonderful medicine, and the closest we have to fighting MPB.
I'm sure you'll find a lot of company in this subreddit itself :)
Yes man yes, thanks for ur post tbh I am suffering from this and I'm 19 now. This post gave me confidence and hope that it will get better or atleast won't worsen. Now I'm using minoxidil 5% and finasteride 1% also with finax tablets.
my dermatologist (dost ki mummi) also prescribed me this when i was a few months shy of 18, that was 8 months ago
welcome the club, dont break streaks
PS- mine is minoxidil and finasteride solution 10%
It's ok, man, I know the trauma, I was in a similar position as you, was so worried about my hair getting thinner around the temples. And for me, hair was a very important part of my attractiveness. And I was consulting everybody, looking in the mirror 10 times a day, and using all kinds of oils.
But in my case, it just happened to be some deficiencies and and the recession became very slow and I just grew out my hair long and it's nearly unnoticeable.
Though I have plans to use minoxidil if I feel that its getting thinner. But its ok, it happens.
Don't stress yourself out, op, just trust the process and you will be ok.
Two rounds of COVID, stressful job plus male pattern baldness. The only thing that helped was minoxidil and finasteride.
And I wish I had taken it at 17 instead of trying shampoos and hair oil and stuff.
It's completely normal
Would you shame yourself for taking insulin if you had diabetes or using an inhaler for asthma?
Ear 1 cucumber every morning empty stomach it I'm 28 and it worked for me my beard and hair are still black and looks normal
Hopefully this will work for you as well
Stop smoking, alcohol, masturbation for atleast 3 months, take vitamin B and D pills if you are deficient. Eat almonds daily. Also minoxidil if it doesn’t cause sides.
Incase you have any fungal infections on scalp. do the above while fasting occasionally. And get that infection treated by dermatologist at the earliest. I have regrown hair as I’m young. You’re even younger, I’m sure this would do wonders and deny all the experts.
Pumpkin seed oil is beneficial for hair as it promotes hair growth, strengthens the strands, moisturizes the scalp, and supports hair thickness. It may also help prevent hair loss by inhibiting the production of DHT. However, individual results may vary.
And rosemary oil has also shown some results but ya don't just focus on these .
one word for all this : genetics. these pumpkin or rosemary cant change your hair thickness.
srk have great hair genes, lekin salman ke nahi. bhoi chahe kuch bhi karle lekin unke hair srk ki tarah thick n dense nahi ho jayenge.
It can only be reversed if there is some vitamin deficiency or diet is fucked. Otherwise minoxidil or hair transplant is the last solution, no doctor straight up recommends minoxidil without looking at the causes.
I ll not recommend bt choose between hairs or libido …..if u choose hair then try finastride cuz it ll boost ur hair growth…..bt at the same there are many side effects be prepared!
It happened with me last month when all of a sudden my hair started falling..like 7-8 strands used to fall off in just one stroke..i thought the end is here...went to a dermatologist...found out it was just cuz of dandruff and little bit of jee stress... started applying onion oil and shampoo once a week.. now it's perfectly alright... it's just that ik the anxiety which comes with it
Fin kab start kroge? maine suna hai ye akela bahut zyada effective nahi hai and with Finasteride it do wonders
Aur bahut si information ke liye tum tressless sub per Jaa sakte ho waha per genuine bande hai
i was suffering from hairfall tremendously so i buzzed it down after 1 months it stopped its just because of stress ig u should only apply minoxidil if uve recessed hairline unless dont use
These things help👇
1) Dont put hot water on head
2) Get rid of sulphate shampoos
3) Treat your dandruff, that shit just speeds this thing
4) Keep your vitamins in check, especially like zinc, biotin
5) Use minoxidil religiously, there is nothing bad in it but obviously when a doctor recommends it, coz if its not male pattern baldness then its no meaning
6) Dont wear tight caps or stuff on head
7) Dont comb your hair roughy
8) Sleep more, take less stress
9) Stop thinking about it
10) Do exercises like headstand and be fit in general for good blood flow to hair folicle
Brah I remember when I used to apply this thing, I was around 16-17 (now 21), and I got that bald patches on my head out of nowhere, I got super unconfident due to this shit.
Doctor used to say, "There is no proper cure for this one", I was like wut? I'll have it lifetime? and he "nodded".
Then I simply started to not give a shi about it and just didn't care. Now its gone like it never was there, I still have gotten new patches when I was like 18 maybe but it got healed on its own.
Now its just better, I do not have any of it now\*, My hairs are much healthier and better, thick, silky and perfectly suited, All praise to God!
Edit: \*
So you can't use it if you have low to medium hairfall?
I saw it on you tube that it can be used for the above concern mentioned..and people in comments were writing that it can be used for hairfall too(not bald patches)
I got some of the best hair genetics personally
Like everyone is jealous of my hair but also at the same time I get shit beard growth so because of that I always just prefer clean trim
I'm currently 18 but still waiting to get a proper beard all naturally :(
Same with me i started losing hair near the temples when i was 4 and i am using minoooooooxil 91% from them … now my hair ls are 5m long and are spread over a surface area of about 2 heactare
If you're suffering from male pattern baldness then yeah, this is the only route to go. Even I started balding when I was like 17 or 18 but with me it happened a bit slowly and I still have a lot of hair but yeah the temples are receding still and I do use minoxidil. I'd suggest go to a dermatologist first and see what they recommend and then start with minox and after a few years you can hop on finasteride as well. Go to the tressless subreddit you'll find a lot of help there but yeah go to a dermatologist first. Aur haan ye jo comments me natural remedies ki baat kar rahe hain inpe zyada focus karne ki zarurat nahi hai kyuki none of that stuff can actually help with pattern baldness.
best comment ever!! Thanks for the insights!! <3
I would recommend you to dabble with finastride and see if it gives side effects to you as minoxidil give temporary gains it does not actually block or inhibit dht in body so hairfall starts as soon as you stop it on the contrary finastride actually blocks the hormone
You can use rosemary oil and pumpkin seeds oil as well it might help
Doesn't. Minoxidil. Finasteride or dutasteride if you're adventurous.
Nope
Same with me. I started losing hair in my temples area when I was 20 and I am 30 now and I am still losing hair on temples area and some density. Crown hasn't started yet.
If I still have a head full of hair by the time I am 30, I'll consider that a huge win. I'll be turning 24 this year so there's still a lot of time to go. Dekhte hain kya hota hai ab ಥ‿ಥ

I am already close to this so ig I won't be as lucky as you T_T
I am above 30, still full of hair..
totally agree with what he said. my bro in law is a dermatologist and he said that minox and all are not the best choice always. there are chances of it misfiring and increasing ur hairfall so better to get checked. also maintain a balanced diet with all vitamins. its necessary for hair regrowth
Also, having a healthy lifestyle and less stress in general helps to reduce hair loss.

Before using it , My temples were completely blank , I consulted a dermatologist and it was due to My genetics (Almost everyone male in my family is bald or have clean head at many parts) . Temples arent completely filled But Hairs have started regrowing and my visible forehead is also shortening . It started regrowing after 4 months of Daily use. Just dont miss out , Spray & Spread it nicely everyday , One bottle would work ~3 or maybe 4 weeks . Give it time , 6 months+ is considered average for the effects to show.
Hey is there any side effect you noticed so far.?? Let me know as you are of my age...I am also planning to take this tropical solution
not OP but im also a minoxidil and finasteride 10% user no side effects as such there are chances of headache and agitation in initial usage other than that i didnt face anything there is an info booklet inside the box which u can read as well (pretty scary stuff, but only observed in a small amount of users) also do consult a dermatologist first, regarding dosage and concentration and to rule out any other factors of hairfall
Consult a dermatologist beforehand. I apply it at night so I wake up with slight white flakes on my head , they are washed away easily . And It might get a little itchy at head . Other than these , I havent really noticed any side effects . ( I am not taking the pills as of now , only the spray)
Why are you using fin at 17? You should have waited until 19 or 20 at least It stunts your sexual and height growth unless you have full grown body(generalizing 19-20 aged)
I believe The side effects you are mentioning are for Fin pills . What I’m using is Topical Solution of 0.1 Fin, 5 Min , That too consulted under a well reputed doctor.
I would still suggest to wait 2 more years, DHT is necessary for your body right now
Thank you . But i think id trust the doctor more !
You need to do your own research in parallel with doctors advice. If you blindly trust doctor, good luck.
It worked for me and has absolutely no side effects , Did my fair share of research knowing topical minox isnt unhealthy any ways and hence trusted the doctor more rather than some people on reddit.
Alright mate, just be careful and have healthy habits, exercise too
Minoxidil will stop working for you, as your body will build resistance against it. And fin just delays your prematur balding, doesnt stops.
Thats for oral minox , Topical arent meant to build tolerance , thats what they are intended for.
Minox only keeps the tallogen phase of the hair for long, giving the illusion of hair growth, but in the end it doesnt prevent hair loss at the roots. Google minoxidil peak, it terms the peak comes after 1 year usage and thereafter the progress kept decresing.
There's no difference between oral and topical fin/min, they all go systemic.
STOP spreading fake information. Minoxidil can never completely stop male pattern hair fall, and regrowing hair is out of the question. I've using it since 19(I'm 22) and have looked about it a lot. There's no way it can stop/reverse it bcz it happens due to an enzyme. All it does is blocks that enzyme when applied, that too to some extent only. So minoxidil only slows down the process, just delays the inevitable. Nothing more.
While that's true, there's plenty of progress pics on r/tressless that tell you that it works. It certainly increases hair count. Combine it with fin and you see some reversal of hairline too. The effects vary from person to person of course and some people have taken it for entire year before seeing any results while some saw crazy gains in just 3 months.
It literally helped me regrow my hair. I dont know what you are yapping about. There are ten of thousands of people on r/Tressless as well who regrew their hairs. It indeed does delay the process but you are totally i correct that minox + fin doesnt regrow hairs. There are literally almost bald people applying minox/fin , They regrew their hairs . What hairfall are they stopping when they dont even have hairs?
Use the internet my friend, do a little research, it won't take much time lmao.
So you are telling me just this can do it? I have lost a lot of hair, I can see bald patches after taking a shower, can this slow it down and help me regrow a bit of it? I just don't want to go bald before 25😭 I am 20rn
Bro, how to use?
Do check your Vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency can really mess with your hair.
yup! Doc suggested me multi vit tabs after running blood tests
Make sure to check the Vitamin D dose on them . Try to buy a supplement with only VItamin D
Minoxidil isn't going to solve your problems in one shot, the results will only last as long as you keep using it
Naah that's not true with finasteride it does work .
No one said it doesn't work. What they're saying is that you need to keep using both for the rest of your life if you want your hair to stay.
Who even wants the hair to stay for the rest of the life? It's just like for age between 20-40 , after 40 one shouldn't care for hair loss
>after 40 one shouldn't care for hair loss You're not the one who decides that for others, and even if it is true for some, it doesn't change the fact that you have to take both for decades
I am speaking in general terms not including exceptions mostly male would want hair in age 20-30 for better confidence in jobs/interview. And between 30-40 for better looking and potential female partners Once after 40 and having a stable family and a life partner who supports you it doesn't matter what others think . Moreover wigs are options too or completely bald look.

Welcome to the club boi
I used Minidoxil probably for a year after visiting the dermatologist. It has some side effects. Kisi ko hota hai kisi ko nahi. I know ab sab aa jayega batane k liye " yeh safe hai etc" But I am just sharing my experience. It helped me to reduce hairfall as long as I was using it but once I stopped again the hairfall started.
Minoxidil only helps in hair regrow not in hair fall reduction. It will work as long as you take it, baldness is not curable, it's manageable. Topical Minoxidil is the far safer choice compared to Oral one. for Haire fall reduction Finasteride is used but it can cause ED for some so better to try out hair supplement first.
I suggest you to visit a dermatologist first they will better guide you instead of using it by your own
yeah, i did contact a dermatologist and he gave me the suggestion to use minox first and then after few year go for finesteride pills
Make sure you get some exercise along with it, I had some sides with min, mainly palpitations. It's super rare but it did happen in my case and I suspected min as it went away after stopping it. Join /r/tressless and hair loss show on yt
Consider consulting a dermatologist ig?

Bro take a 2nd opinion.
Bro your focus should be on the diet if that also didn't help consultant a doc and then you can use it and also you can try home made natural remedies. Try keeping it as much natural as you can, chemicals are not good for long term!!
Those shit doesn't work man 😔, no offense but it can only help when you have already good genes and it's failing due to some external factor, while in most cases genes are responsible and minox is the only solution
Maybe you are not going through the same issue so let me tell you diet/ home remedies doesn’t help in most of the cases it’s stupid to waste time on them, better would be consult a doc otherwise educate yourself and start taking meds… Personally I went with the doc route and realised paying 800 for docs fee every month is just stupid so I’m buying my own meds and have seen better outcome than ever.
Jab kucch pata na ho toh chup betha kijiye
Mere paas bhi yehi h aur mein abhi 23 ka hi hu
Kaha se lete hi aur kya price hai??
Mujhe bhi bata do kaise upyog karna hai. Lena to mujhe bhi hai lekin doctor ki fees nahi dena chahta hu
Best to give that fee man every person is different
already bahut bar de chuka hu bhai. 3 demra ko. aisa lagta hai sab thagne baithe hai
you can use 5% min as it has very low risk, but yeah you must atleast try to consult a dermatologist!!
already kayi bar kar chuka hu (but for different issue) ab aur paise fukne ka man nahi unpe. market se jake ye purchase karle aur ise sir me lagaye? daily? tip for you: kafi mehanga pada hoga ye. agli bar jan aushadi kendra se khareedna
r/tressless
lol same im also 17 nd using it
As someone who has faced issues and stopped using it i would suggest work on your deficiencies and eat nutritious food and exercise. Modern day life is full of pollution and stress, all the food we eat and water we drink are adultrated. Minoxidil or any tablet is going to show you result till you are using it. Once you stop this you will be back to zero within 2 weeks. All i can say this may or not be evident but be ready for baldness, dont be disheartened. Work on your body and finance. Men should be manly and masculine.
Try getting 5% minoxidil with .01 finasteride, plus improve your diet and lifestyle. Participate in more physical activity, gym or outdoors is your choice. Have a healthy diet, focus on the overall marco-micro nutrient profile. At first you'll find it tough to balance but eventually it'll become a habit. And don't give up.
Makes me feel lucky and greatful for having good hair genetics. My dad has a head full of hair at 50.
Are bhai, ab sun, I was in 11th when I first noticed bald patches on my head at back, at first I thought it was mistakenly cut by the barber and ignored it and after few days more bald patches occured, and when we carefully examined the patches with an MD doctor he said it is alopecia areata and my heart broken that day, suffering from an immunity disorder at such an age made me depressed, I used to put a bandana over my head to hide it and faced a lot of issues wearing it, all my friends started teasing me and all, but after 2 long years of continuous efforts from my family around 95% of what I lossed(hairs) are back and still the medication minoxidil tropical 5% is the savior here. And I was just 15 back then in 2021.
Bhai Mai to dermatologist ke paas gya tha wo bole ki abhi chhote ho kuch nhi hoga, ye sab lene ki jarurat nhi h, par mere Baal jhade Jaa rhe hai kya Karu :(
age kya hai? If you are in the 16-20 range you can go for multivitamin tablets along with 2-5% of minoxidil. many people in the comments falling in that category are already doing it, don't worry you won't be seeing any side effects until you are going for finesteride. Fuck man I hate how hairfall makes people like us feel so desperate about it :(
17 ka hi hu bhai, minoxidil ki koi side effects nhi na hote? aap topical minoxidil le rhe ho ya oral?
topical me side effects nahi hote (mostly) mai khud topical lera hu and try karna apni vitamin profile test karane ka and take multivit tabs with ample protein
Okk, thanks :)
As baldie , go bald . Best decision ever. Also Minoxidil only works until you keep on applying it. When you stop, alopecia comes back.
This IS what you should follow if you have male pattern baldness. I have been there.. used minoxidil at the age of 18 and got a hair transplant at the age of 24.... but gave my bro the advice to go bald when he was going through the same at your age. Better than any other thing you will try. Even for self confidence! u/Fehler_in_der_Matrix
What's your age ?
dude he is 17, you can't ask people to go bald at that age
next time onwards buy "Morr F Min 5% Fin 0.1% topical solution"... Also hop on Finasteride tablet 1mg daily if you have androgenic alopecia... checkout r/tressless for more help
This one gave me issues like extreme flakiness so I switched to water solution instead of alcohol, while it reduced flakiness to some extent it takes longer to absorb so stays on your scalp for longer and my scalp is very itchy. I might go for pills now, hopefully no sides🙏🤞
don't recommend Fin oral to a 17 year old guy
Don't take stress bro
This is genius. He surely wouldn’t have thought about this on his own!
Calm down bro😂
I was telling him not to worry
I’m saying there’s no switch in any one’s mind due to which they can stop worrying
mind got blown🤯 and so did my hair /s thanks tho <3
Mujhe laga bhai zeher pike khudkhushi krne wala hai phir google pe search kia
have been using minox for a year now, hairfall has reduced but I still notice my hairline receding, going to be 21 soon don't wanna be bald :(
Start taking Finasteride too.. minox is good for new hair growth fin will help you stop hairfall.
fin use karne se pehle dermatologist se consult karna parta hai and it has some side effects too ifrc
Damn I am 19 and same. Tried fin but my pp couldn't handle it so I only take min and procapil
Is it harmful for pp??
[удалено]
I too had androgenic alopecia when I was 20 since it was genetic but with MORR F ( minoxidil+ fin ) topical solution it all got better in just a month ! Ps. Minoxidil may initially lead to a good shed of your precious hairs but dw it would lead to more stronger hair strands plus start taking some biotin + vit d tablets like KERABOOST and have a protein rich diet ! And most importantly remain in touch with the dermatologist
Minoxidil is a commitment, you will start loosing hair just in a 2-3 days period of you stopping it, you too young for this. Better get on fin rather.
Kaha se liya aur kitne ka??
local medical shop at 650 rupees
Dw brother I'mma join you real soon (im 16) 
us bro us......I was 15 when I had to use this.
I started too when i was 16 :(
ah yes. 19 rn and was given minox at 17 too. it does help, just keep using it. i was dumb to take it lightly. i might have to take GFC and fin. in a few months cause of my dumbness. haha.
woah really eye opening dude!! Good luck with FIN treatment!!
I use Minopep 5%, it's Alcohol-free, so hair doesn't dry out. Also don't jump on Finasteride directly. first try with Haire Supplements like Follihair AM/PM or densita, these are much safer option.
Best of luck bro. Once you start it, there is no going back.
Bhai minfin ke side effects dhang se padh lena esp hypertension and sexual dysfunction. Also read the correlation between male hormone and crown of head
It happens to a lot of us man, don't get disheartened. I started seeing this around 16 years, but neglected it due to my circumstances back then. I feel I should've started it when I was your age, so yeah, don't worry too much about it. Since it's topical, you mostly won't see any side effects at all. It's a pretty wonderful medicine, and the closest we have to fighting MPB. I'm sure you'll find a lot of company in this subreddit itself :)
i m 16 was using finasteride from past few months
Yes man yes, thanks for ur post tbh I am suffering from this and I'm 19 now. This post gave me confidence and hope that it will get better or atleast won't worsen. Now I'm using minoxidil 5% and finasteride 1% also with finax tablets.
very happy to hear it man!! 🫂
Hang on tight 🫂 accept the REAL issues and it will get better :)
my dermatologist (dost ki mummi) also prescribed me this when i was a few months shy of 18, that was 8 months ago welcome the club, dont break streaks PS- mine is minoxidil and finasteride solution 10%
surely bro🤜
I can understand your pain 🫂. I also started balding at 16. You should go to dermatologist and can research micro needling.
Hey OP from where did you bought it? I am looking for it to use it on my beard!
any local medical shop bro
How bad? I kinda started loosing after 18-19 too, a lot tho Like i counted 250+ while bathing only. That's conservative number
It's ok, man, I know the trauma, I was in a similar position as you, was so worried about my hair getting thinner around the temples. And for me, hair was a very important part of my attractiveness. And I was consulting everybody, looking in the mirror 10 times a day, and using all kinds of oils. But in my case, it just happened to be some deficiencies and and the recession became very slow and I just grew out my hair long and it's nearly unnoticeable. Though I have plans to use minoxidil if I feel that its getting thinner. But its ok, it happens. Don't stress yourself out, op, just trust the process and you will be ok.
par kaam toh tere 26..27 waale hain.. hain na?
TF?
Nothing bhai just messing around humoring you..
Two rounds of COVID, stressful job plus male pattern baldness. The only thing that helped was minoxidil and finasteride. And I wish I had taken it at 17 instead of trying shampoos and hair oil and stuff. It's completely normal Would you shame yourself for taking insulin if you had diabetes or using an inhaler for asthma?
man i really feel blessed to read your comment...really appreciate👏👏
i have been applying this exact one since i am 15 cuz i started getting alopecia we are in the same boat brother
Ear 1 cucumber every morning empty stomach it I'm 28 and it worked for me my beard and hair are still black and looks normal Hopefully this will work for you as well
I actually told myself if I go balding, I will have it off completely forgot rest of my life and will have a clean cut beard and moustache to focus on
If u use it once you'll have to use it forever i guess.
Better than having no hair at this age
It’s okay!!!!!! There are wigs and bald people look great too!!!!
Stop smoking, alcohol, masturbation for atleast 3 months, take vitamin B and D pills if you are deficient. Eat almonds daily. Also minoxidil if it doesn’t cause sides. Incase you have any fungal infections on scalp. do the above while fasting occasionally. And get that infection treated by dermatologist at the earliest. I have regrown hair as I’m young. You’re even younger, I’m sure this would do wonders and deny all the experts.
Please don't go for Finasteride OP. That shit takes more than it gives.
isse kuch nai hota bro, ghar pe banaye hue hairoil ka prayog karo
Tried all this natural shit. Sab scam hai, castor se leke onion tak
True idk when will people get out of this myth
no oil can prevent hairfall or dandruff. isse achcha bal katahi chhote karalo
Pumpkin seed oil is beneficial for hair as it promotes hair growth, strengthens the strands, moisturizes the scalp, and supports hair thickness. It may also help prevent hair loss by inhibiting the production of DHT. However, individual results may vary. And rosemary oil has also shown some results but ya don't just focus on these .
one word for all this : genetics. these pumpkin or rosemary cant change your hair thickness. srk have great hair genes, lekin salman ke nahi. bhoi chahe kuch bhi karle lekin unke hair srk ki tarah thick n dense nahi ho jayenge.
True bro!! These ayurveda shit had my balding even faster😭😭
Any idea how to make some

dude mere scalp ke sides se almost saare baal jaa chuke hai...I've tried everything but regrowth ke liye minoxidil is my last hope
Aise logo ke opinion se dur raho. Also dr. Reddy is more better and I've heard it gives better result. So next time get that instead.
It can only be reversed if there is some vitamin deficiency or diet is fucked. Otherwise minoxidil or hair transplant is the last solution, no doctor straight up recommends minoxidil without looking at the causes.
accha nutrition bhi bta de Bhai... hum bhi le lenge
I know obvious foods like fruits and greens, what else you suggest for one with such conditions!?
DON'T LISTEN TO ADVICE TELLING YOU TO TAKE FINASTERIDE you are 17, it will cause irreversible damage to your penis and sexual health.
Dandruff h kya ? H toh bata + stop masturbation, zero the intake of sugar, hit the gym and what are the levels of baldness ?
17 and bald not just 17 !! 🫢
r/bald is where you should be heading.
I ll not recommend bt choose between hairs or libido …..if u choose hair then try finastride cuz it ll boost ur hair growth…..bt at the same there are many side effects be prepared!
1% of cases man
Minoxidil is supposed to boost hair growth and increase hair cycle while fin stops prevents DHT which reduces hairfall.
Meet a doctor, don't do such things. Any way Sin sir also bald
But a doctor suggested him "such things" Sir 🤡🤡
my dermat doctor did recommend me to use 5% minox for now and then after a few years go for oral finesteride
Better to stay with the doctor instead of some random stranger.
Jonny sins ban jao
It happened with me last month when all of a sudden my hair started falling..like 7-8 strands used to fall off in just one stroke..i thought the end is here...went to a dermatologist...found out it was just cuz of dandruff and little bit of jee stress... started applying onion oil and shampoo once a week.. now it's perfectly alright... it's just that ik the anxiety which comes with it
Fin kab start kroge? maine suna hai ye akela bahut zyada effective nahi hai and with Finasteride it do wonders Aur bahut si information ke liye tum tressless sub per Jaa sakte ho waha per genuine bande hai
doc told me to use fin after 2-3 years... i know that this alone is not so effective but this is the only hope i have

Hair fall ho rha bhai ka . It's a treatment of receding hairline
i was suffering from hairfall tremendously so i buzzed it down after 1 months it stopped its just because of stress ig u should only apply minoxidil if uve recessed hairline unless dont use
Bro can you show your hairline?
Bro what is the price?
you should get it around 650
r/tressless
What is this?
PRP can provide better and more sustainable results at cheaper rates. Consult a doctor and ask about GFC as well.
Can anyone help me find a movie "jwala dahej ki" (1982) of Arun Govil.
Same condition maybe will consult dermatologist soon (abhi to kuch nahi karraha
These things help👇 1) Dont put hot water on head 2) Get rid of sulphate shampoos 3) Treat your dandruff, that shit just speeds this thing 4) Keep your vitamins in check, especially like zinc, biotin 5) Use minoxidil religiously, there is nothing bad in it but obviously when a doctor recommends it, coz if its not male pattern baldness then its no meaning 6) Dont wear tight caps or stuff on head 7) Dont comb your hair roughy 8) Sleep more, take less stress 9) Stop thinking about it 10) Do exercises like headstand and be fit in general for good blood flow to hair folicle
Brah I remember when I used to apply this thing, I was around 16-17 (now 21), and I got that bald patches on my head out of nowhere, I got super unconfident due to this shit. Doctor used to say, "There is no proper cure for this one", I was like wut? I'll have it lifetime? and he "nodded". Then I simply started to not give a shi about it and just didn't care. Now its gone like it never was there, I still have gotten new patches when I was like 18 maybe but it got healed on its own. Now its just better, I do not have any of it now\*, My hairs are much healthier and better, thick, silky and perfectly suited, All praise to God! Edit: \*
So you can't use it if you have low to medium hairfall? I saw it on you tube that it can be used for the above concern mentioned..and people in comments were writing that it can be used for hairfall too(not bald patches)
I got some of the best hair genetics personally Like everyone is jealous of my hair but also at the same time I get shit beard growth so because of that I always just prefer clean trim I'm currently 18 but still waiting to get a proper beard all naturally :(
Don't worry kid. Just use it to see if it reduces hair fall. After 20 get a hair transplant done.
Same with me i started losing hair near the temples when i was 4 and i am using minoooooooxil 91% from them … now my hair ls are 5m long and are spread over a surface area of about 2 heactare
