This is a long video but here I am talking about my journey with hair loss as well as an overview of the things I have used which have and haven't worked.
I agree, I hate it when people tell people to give up in general. Being a quitter is not something to be proud of and embrace. If there is something you like about yourself then you should fight to keep it, not capitulate.
@Dr. A Grant try dual gen 15 it's topical minoxidil and finasteride, doesn't mess with blood dht levels anywhere near as much as the oral, I started using it and it's actually more effective than the oral fin
Hands down the best info on hair loss, super informative. Really appreciate you taking the time to publish and share, I feel better about everything and feel like I have a shot at maintaining and getting my hair in better shape. Thanks for your help.
The worst thing the loved ones can do is lying. Doesn't matter for what reason even if they're just trying to be positive and cheer you up. -Is my hairline receding? -No, it's fine. -Is that a NW6? -No, you look great! -I think that's tumor... -No, it can't be. Ignore it! Cheer up! [coffin lid is closing] Thanks Kevin for your research videos, you convinced me to start fin. I'll be thankful forever!
@haircafekevin I really appreciate the videos you publish in your channel. It is unfortunate that, when you started your balding, there was barely any quality information out there, so you had to try and fail many times. Surely more than people starting today. I appreciate your time investment in doing extensive and qualitative research. You were one of the first people that convinced me to start Finas when I was balding in my early 20's. Gracias!
Your medical knowledge is kinda impressive unless you work in the medical field, still impressive. I actually ended up watching the entire video. You have a good way of keeping the video to the point. Good content brother!
Incredibly articulate and informative video...really appreciate the insights and sharing your personal experience Kevin. I've battled hair loss for 20+ years, also with a hair transplant that didn't take...so fighting on with another procedure just recently. Also, completely agree about the jerks telling you not to worry and to just shave it - people with hair will never have empathy, and the ones who are bald just want miserable company! ...and SO TRUE about how people treat you with less respect when you're bald/balding. I've seen both sides, and the difference is night and day!!
@@AC-fp7ns Thanks for your well wishes - I think it was a combination of factors. Firstly, I have very fine frizzy hair, which a HT specialist has told me recently, takes a specific technique to implant, rather than just jamming it in. Secondly, I have some chronic skin issues - like psoriasis...and I have a suspicion that the new implants would have copped a beating from my immune system. I've tried multiple times. Thirdly, and probably the final nail in the coffin, was the scar tissue created by multiple initial attempts, made it very difficult to grow hair in the area again.
When you make reference to your friends and family appeasing you rather than telling you the truth about your hair, I'm reminded of the following Sicilian proverb: "It takes a true friend to tell you when your face is dirty"
I’ve been on Finastride for five years with no side effects. My hair started thinning at age 55 and this medicine stopped my hair loss dead in its tracks. By the way man, you’re funny and entertaining. And the hell with the girls, your hair looks full and a handsome guy too. My wife says she doesn’t care for hair or not on me, but I want hair and will be getting a hair transplant just to add volume and be the only one of four brothers who still hasn’t gone bald yet after age 60. I enjoyed the show. Thanks for the post.
Once again, thank you hair loss Henry Rollins. Your videos are great, and I feel a lot better about my own journey. I appreciate your content, and you're just a cool dude.
3250 followers only? WTF, this is one of the best channels on hair loss and bodybuilding. viewers are full of crap and can't appreciate such good videos!
I don't deny there are real issues with Finasteride, but people are plain ridiculous there was a guy complaining about how he was getting blackouts after switching positions suddenly like from standing or sitting down. Turns out it was low sodium levels in his blood.
I’ve been doing the whole “just shave it, bro” thing for the last few months. According to the “just shave it, bros” I am now supposed to move on with my life and forget the fact that my head looks like a bowling pin. (Sigh)…
Great video! I've been taking finasteride and minoxidil combined for almost 4 years (I'm 23 now). The only "effects" happening to me was that my hair got thicker again, regrew and stopped falling out. Might be because I started in an early stage of hair loss. Anyway I'm grateful for the possibilities we have today. And before shaving it I'd rather save up some money for a hair transplant!
@@colin9722 No, atleast not due to my daily precedure but just in a natural way while growing into adulthood. Since men tend to grow rather thin beards in my family, I'd find it difficult to do anything besides shaving it. My father on the other hand who's partially bald (crown and temples) managed to get a nice thick mustache in his 30s and has never taken anything related to hairloss preventation. There are certain beard groth products though (I think also something like minoxidil) but I haven't really looked into it.
The problem isn't that the person who has found the cure doesn't want to share; the problem is when you ask people to use Finasteride and Minoxidil, they go on the Internet and just pay attention to the side-effects (which may or may not be true but definitely highlighted to a huge extent). There just isn't enough energy left to deal with such people as we already have suffered enough before discovering the magic potion and the pill!
This is just great, no-nonsense advice. My experience with oral Finasteride is the same as yours. Hair regrowth with no side effects. I'd be interested to hear your take on microneedling.
Dude you keep me so engaged its comical. If you wouldve been a teacher in highschool maybe I would’ve payed attention! Thanks for the good- to the point; content
@ Right, I recently noticed a little bald spot on my crown and thinning. im not muscular and cant grow a beard so I started finasteride a few weeks ago. No side effects so far!
I’ve been on fin for over two months. No issues. Libido has increased. I lost allot of ground due to all the bs out there but thanks to Kevin I hopped on and regret not taking it years ago.
Huge progress, best decision I ever made. Zero sides and hairline is thicker and more or less back to my baseline. Crown is filling up too. Awesome results for myself.
I just wanted to quickly say that your videos have been very inspirational! I'm a NW4 but I've only been using Minox for a year, and I'm starting Fin after seeing your content. I've not given up the fight!
Sup choom! I love how much you put the experience of balding into reality for those who do not understand what men go through, especially at a young age. I went through a very similar experience.. I became boarder line suicidal it was a really dark place. Since discovering your channel, I gained the courage to start. I don’t believe I waited as long as you, but I most definitely did more damage delaying starting finasteride. It’s been less than a month at .5mg EOD, no side effects to date.
Why aren't u famous ....... I'm a med student and that's how i discovered finesteride 😭 i wish i saw one of ur vids earlier for real hopefully I'll get some hair back and thanks bro for real
Man your hair looks amazing now. Full and really thick. It’s hard to believe you had any hair loss. Right now you look like you have the gold standard hair that all men want! Do you have any before and after pics of your first and then second hair transplant?
20 y old startet 1 month ago, no side effects feels even better then before because I don’t have constantly in my mind that I will lose my hair. Thanks for your Videos was really scared to start but you took all of it away :)
@44 no min, I’m on 0,5 every 2 days, everything that I lost in the last 2 years is regrowing. Gonna be a nw0 in the next 3 months. So happy Kevin makes these videos
I took Dutasteride a few years back in 2002-2004. I had a doctor friend who prescribed to me. Started in April last year again; I live part time in Brazil and there Dutasteride (Avodart) is an over-the-counter drug! No prescription needed. One of the side effects I've noticed is reduced amount of body hair growth. It's super super slow. This is consistent with some of possible side effects so I don't think I*m imagining it - the effect is quite profound.
i feel like hed look much younger if he brought his hairline down to a norwood 1 or at least brought his temporal points foward. He has great facial structure though and excellent skin
Men generally age better than women providing they take good care of themselves. (Women have thinner skin and less collagen types so their skin breaks down at a faster rate than it can rebuild earlier than men). If a man does three of the basic things, he can easily look good and fairly young well into his 50’s, in my opinion. Those three things are: 1) Prevent hair loss, 2) maintain healthy and fit weight, and 3) take of your skin (healthy diet, sleep, using sunblock, retin-A, etc.) High DHT ages you faster too I theorize. So Finasteride can help make you look younger, in my opinion.
You are so funny and probably don’t realize it. I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile. And very good content. Make more videos, I just turned a friend on to your account
Yep 100% agree, I think there is something to being bald affecting someone's confidence and therefore affecting the way people treat you, but I do think that people tend to treat bald people differently even if they are confident. Rightly or wrongly its just human nature and people tend to be superficial.
I'm not really bald, but i shaved my head once, put on a nice suit and vent to a few IT company interviews. Zoomers looked at me in a weird way and i didn't get a job. They looked like hairy weed-smoking cuckold pieces of shit in Star Wars t-shirts and i was utterly disgusted. When i had a long hair and dressed like crap i got into IT positions WAY beyond my knowledge.
You said to talk to your doctor if your still losing your hair after 6 months of finasteride. I've been on finasteride for over 3 years now and I was shedding for at least 2 years before it subsided. All the hair that fell out came back. Be patient, finasteride saved my hair
Well done and totally accurate. The protocol he recommends include the only things that work. I went down the exact same road and fin, min,and RU are the only things that work...
I would also add dutasteride to the list, but it can lower your dht so much that it increases scalp testosterone to such a high level that it can create even more problems. I think fin + RU + nizoral (keto) is the best option. If you're young and just starting to thin I would not recommend minoxidil....
@@ScottSanderz19 I'm 41 and started to thin at 36. I'm not "bald" yet, but it's pretty diffused. I just got a prescription for finasteride (yup, I waited 5 years). Should I just take the 1mg a day pill, or should I combine it with minoxidil?
I started fin and min, wish me luck guys. btw, I made the mistake of telling people close to me about it and they're all trying to scare me out of it saying that my penis will shrink.
Glad it’s working for you! I just started oral fin and I ordered RU but the Australian border seized the product claiming it was a steroid... very annoying but in fighting to get the foods returned to me
I started finasteride when it came out and then switch to dutasteride when it came out. I was also in the minoxidil study at NYU and use it to this day. Would love to have a conversation with you one day.
Wow, so you're a real hair loss veteran then. I know a buddy at the gym who has been using finasteride since I think 1992 back when it was only available as proscar. I think that is when it came out.
I was suffering a little bit of erectile dysfunction before finasteride and low libido, but after finasteride my sexual health has improved , my erection is more stronger now and my libido is high
Thanks for the advice. I'll be starting finasteride next week. I'm 27 years old now, I've noticed excessive thinning and shedding since I was 25, I talked to my doctor and he put me on it. I plan on keeping my hair forever.
I think the important thing is to read the research and to realise that Finasteride has been used for decades by millions of people with very low levels of side effects (In 2016 it was the 75th most prescribed medication in the United States with more than 10 million prescriptions.), in fact it only slightly higher side effects were shown from the placebo group in the studies. Sure there are people who experience them, just like some people have reactions to aspirin as you say in your video. When I looked into all this and watched videos like yours I realised the risk is very very low and have been on it a few weeks with zero side effects myself. I am a very slow diffuse thinner on top with still decent coverage at 47 years old, so hopefully this will slow down or stop it and maybe thicken up the areas with thinner hair. I think it's important that people like you make videos to show that it's not a instant death sentence to your libido or muscle mass or fitness etc. Keep up the logical and scientific thinking!
You’re the most knowledgeable channel and seriously the most inspiring! Really Got me motivated to do something again, when I already feel bad cuz of my hair. I am on avodart and I will add the minoxidil till I get the loniten prescription 🔥🔥
I live in Europe and in a few days I start minoxidil and in one month I have an appointment with a Dermatologist. I hope the doc actually gives me finasteride. I'm a thick NW 2/2,5 right now and it doesn't really progress badly and even my Dad had that hair for a long time. I don't want to risk it tho. Maybe I wait the few weeks until the appointment and see if I get finasteride. It's just that I'm getting minoxidil in a few days and I'm eager to try it. Btw your hair looks great. You probably don't even know the ease of mind you give to some people. I don't feel hopeless, I feel like I have something in my hands and I actually can do things instead of just anxiously hoping for the best.
Thank you bro, you are an inspiration for me, both for dealing with hairloss and lifting. I had been lying to myself about my slowly thinning hair for years until I have started regaine at the beginning of this year and thanks to your advice I have gained enough courage to start finasteride 1mg a month ago, and so far without any side effects. I have a question tho, have you thought about adding dermarolling to your regimen? What do you think about it? Maybe you could even do a video about it.
Thank you, that means a lot and its one of the things that inspires me to share my own experiences. Congrats on starting your journey. As for dermarolling, yes I do occasionally use it bceause I do feel it improves absorption of topicals like minoxidil but I don't think its necessary. Of course anything that can help, even a little bit is great.
I don’t agree with everything you say, but you’ve done well in this 20 year war with hair loss and look to be winning, most would’ve thrown in the towel. People call it vanity but it’s called hanging onto your prime imo. Going bald is like the first sign of a guys mortality, so there is nothing worse than going bald young.
I have DUPA hairloss at 22 which makes all my hair follicles sensitive to hair loss. Not even propecia works on me. You guys are lucky you only have regular male pattern baldness. I'd settle for a hairpiece then.
Then your goal in life should be to become jacked, get some tattoo sleeve on one arm, and wear great clothes like mark strong. You CAN become that man in the future if you work for it. A good looking bald man.
I think problem with asking family isn't just cuz it's family but cuz they see your hair the most, so they're less likely to notice a change, a stranger would be a better choice
Hey Kev, every shop/company/online pharmacies here in the UK Ive looked at who sell Finasteride they all contain Titanium Dioxide as one of the other ingredients. Why the hell are they putting TITANIUM in medications for. Makes my Dermatitis horrendous.
Hi Kevin. First of all congrats for all your efforts and the information you provide to all. I have a few questions, I would appreciate if you can answer them: How many years are you on oral finasteride? For how long time the high libido was existed for you ? When did you fully returned to the same libido levels as before starting oral fin ? Are you periodically (e.g. once or twice a year) taking breaks from oral fin e.g. for about 2-3 weeks? Where have you done your hair transplants and what is the satisfaction rate regarding the naturalness, density, donor management? Have a nice day. Thank you very much.
Thanks choom! 1. About 10 years consistently and then on and off several years before then. 2. I still have a high libido, even in my fourties. It never went away. 3. Libido never diminished. Early on I gave myself a nocebo effect due to rampant fear mongering but that was in my head. 4. About an 8 out of 10. I like it but I wished I had more work done on the temporal points.
I tried finasteride 4 years ago when I was overweight. Did my crazy research and then felt like I had awful brain fog. Maybe I psyched myself out and stopped. Just ordered some fin and will start slowly. Will do 1 mg everything other day and continue my daily weight training. Wish me luck!
In the UK you can get 2%topical ketoconazole leave on cream in the supermarket for about £5 for 15g without prescription or online you can get 30g 2% ( 20mg per gram). The brand is daktarin . The shampoo is fine too if you just add the oil back in with some hair oil or conditioner.
I’m doing trt which I find very helpful all around and have added in finasteride, hair vitamins and a dht blocking shampoo to hopefully counter the potential hair loss issues from trt
Well one thing is for certain, he's definitively not suffering from any brain fog type side effects.
willis8008 😂
Lololol, hes a machine! Love it!
Is the brain fog from the minox or propecia because I got it and use both
Lmfao Dude, that shit was funny
Omg. That comment made my day... tooooooo Funnnnyyyyy
i also hate it when people said just shave it

You are so funny and probably don’t realize it. I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile. And very good content. Make more videos, I just turned a friend on to your account
Guinness Book of World Records : Largest amount of words recited in 30 minutes - 4/21/2019 Kevin Mann 2.3 million words.
Yep 100% agree, I think there is something to being bald affecting someone's confidence and therefore affecting the way people treat you, but I do think that people tend to treat bald people differently even if they are confident.
Rightly or wrongly its just human nature and people tend to be superficial.
People are the most superficial animal in existence. Humans developed eyes before brains lmao.
5:27 “people talking about how their assholes have gone numb” lmao
Great video buddy, keep up the great videos you do.
You surely know a lot more than my doctor 😂
Regardless of what Norwood you are your hair looks great.the pharmacology intervention and hair transplant is worked out.
I'm not really bald, but i shaved my head once, put on a nice suit and vent to a few IT company interviews. Zoomers looked at me in a weird way and i didn't get a job. They looked like hairy weed-smoking cuckold pieces of shit in Star Wars t-shirts and i was utterly disgusted. When i had a long hair and dressed like crap i got into IT positions WAY beyond my knowledge.
See
Human society doesn’t care about your abilities if you’re ugly.
Very informative, great stuff! I'm going to take the red pill!
Ironically finasteride is a blue pill but I got ya.
Good luck!
You said to talk to your doctor if your still losing your hair after 6 months of finasteride. I've been on finasteride for over 3 years now and I was shedding for at least 2 years before it subsided. All the hair that fell out came back. Be patient, finasteride saved my hair
How much hair do you loose now?
Per day that is...
@@brokenbutterfly3178 It varies day to day. Some days maybe a couple dozen some days virtually none. Everything has always come back
@@TheDoofer1010any sides?
The only Blue Pill this guy takes is Proscar.
Brutal redpill at the end of this video. Deep down baldcels know they would look better with hair.
To me Nizoral was a godsend. It litterally killed all the pesky dandruffs and blotches that we killing my scalp. It removed all the itch I had.
Seborrheic dermatitis?
Well done and totally accurate. The protocol he recommends include the only things that work.
I went down the exact same road and fin, min,and RU are the only things that work...
I would also add dutasteride to the list, but it can lower your dht so much that it increases scalp testosterone to such a high level that it can create even more problems. I think fin + RU + nizoral (keto) is the best option. If you're young and just starting to thin I would not recommend minoxidil....
@@ScottSanderz19 I'm 41 and started to thin at 36. I'm not "bald" yet, but it's pretty diffused. I just got a prescription for finasteride (yup, I waited 5 years). Should I just take the 1mg a day pill, or should I combine it with minoxidil?
Took my first pill of finastoride while watching this, wish me luck
Very powerful video, intereting to watch, i learned a lot. Thank you, youre a great mentor
I started fin and min, wish me luck guys. btw, I made the mistake of telling people close to me about it and they're all trying to scare me out of it saying that my penis will shrink.
Facepalm.
You should NEVER share anything you’re doing for cosmetic purposes. Not even to your best friend, or girlfriend.
the strange thing about my hair thinning is that hardly any is falling out, but it’s just not growing back...
How’s you’re diet. You may have telegen effluvium
@@j0nnyism what would you say is good diet to treat telogen effluvium?
use finasteride asap..... you will regret
That's called balding
@@newtonsgrandchild1701 did you get your answer?
I also wanna know
Kevin man never had a Kevin man like we do to teach him 😢
Holly shit. That was impressive. Bravo!
Loosing hair means loosing interest of any kind 😅 but your videos keeping my interest alive of any kind 😅 u r awsm man 😎😎
bro your hair looks GREAT. My protocol rn is RU and Minox every day and Keto shampoo twice a week. Hair is starting to look thicker
That's awesome, RU is definitely great.
Glad it’s working for you! I just started oral fin and I ordered RU but the Australian border seized the product claiming it was a steroid... very annoying but in fighting to get the foods returned to me
I started finasteride when it came out and then switch to dutasteride when it came out. I was also in the minoxidil study at NYU and use it to this day. Would love to have a conversation with you one day.
Wow, so you're a real hair loss veteran then. I know a buddy at the gym who has been using finasteride since I think 1992 back when it was only available as proscar. I think that is when it came out.
@@haircafekevin Yeah I'm 50 and I guess you can call me a hair loss veteran.
@A Donkey None at all...
@@Sjonat716 What kind of results have you seen running these drugs? Just maintenance or some regrowth?
@@bert1832 I would say that I have 90%% of my hair and I have gotten some regrowth in the very front.
you're a really smart man bro i appreciate you
I was suffering a little bit of erectile dysfunction before finasteride and low libido, but after finasteride my sexual health has improved , my erection is more stronger now and my libido is high
I watch buddy's commericals as a way of showing my appreciation for his content !
Thanks for the advice. I'll be starting finasteride next week. I'm 27 years old now, I've noticed excessive thinning and shedding since I was 25, I talked to my doctor and he put me on it. I plan on keeping my hair forever.
Any updates on the fin?
How is it going taking fin?
I think the important thing is to read the research and to realise that Finasteride has been used for decades by millions of people with very low levels of side effects (In 2016 it was the 75th most prescribed medication in the United States with more than 10 million prescriptions.), in fact it only slightly higher side effects were shown from the placebo group in the studies. Sure there are people who experience them, just like some people have reactions to aspirin as you say in your video. When I looked into all this and watched videos like yours I realised the risk is very very low and have been on it a few weeks with zero side effects myself. I am a very slow diffuse thinner on top with still decent coverage at 47 years old, so hopefully this will slow down or stop it and maybe thicken up the areas with thinner hair. I think it's important that people like you make videos to show that it's not a instant death sentence to your libido or muscle mass or fitness etc. Keep up the logical and scientific thinking!
great video Choom !!!
Thanks homie!
You’re the most knowledgeable channel and seriously the most inspiring! Really Got me motivated to do something again, when I already feel bad cuz of my hair. I am on avodart and I will add the minoxidil till I get the loniten prescription 🔥🔥
I feel your videos will save many ppl from going bald, and thats just amazing
Thank you and that is what I hope to achieve by sharing my experiences.
your hair looks amazing man, I'm very jealous
Thank you, don't get jealous though get inspired in your own hair loss journey.
Thank you so much, I was using minoxidil for two days and I stopped right away after watching this video. Decided to start taking fin.
How is it going?
@@Law116 been on it for 9 months now and it’s been fine hair looks better and fuller and I don’t have any sides
@@ByMezmoh what was the dose?
@@avinashsharma888 i have 5 mg pill that i cut into 4 so 1.25mg
everyday
@@ByMezmohhey any updates? I just started dutasteride today
Kevin, you don’t need prescription for rogain or equate monodoxil in Canada. They are a bit pricy but you can buy them over the counter no problem
That's good to know, especially since I am likely travelling to Toronto this August.
I live in Europe and in a few days I start minoxidil and in one month I have an appointment with a Dermatologist. I hope the doc actually gives me finasteride. I'm a thick NW 2/2,5 right now and it doesn't really progress badly and even my Dad had that hair for a long time. I don't want to risk it tho. Maybe I wait the few weeks until the appointment and see if I get finasteride. It's just that I'm getting minoxidil in a few days and I'm eager to try it. Btw your hair looks great. You probably don't even know the ease of mind you give to some people. I don't feel hopeless, I feel like I have something in my hands and I actually can do things instead of just anxiously hoping for the best.
Thank you bro, you are an inspiration for me, both for dealing with hairloss and lifting. I had been lying to myself about my slowly thinning hair for years until I have started regaine at the beginning of this year and thanks to your advice I have gained enough courage to start finasteride 1mg a month ago, and so far without any side effects. I have a question tho, have you thought about adding dermarolling to your regimen? What do you think about it? Maybe you could even do a video about it.
Thank you, that means a lot and its one of the things that inspires me to share my own experiences. Congrats on starting your journey.
As for dermarolling, yes I do occasionally use it bceause I do feel it improves absorption of topicals like minoxidil but I don't think its necessary. Of course anything that can help, even a little bit is great.
Thanks god im not alone I feel a lot I’m with someone
I don’t agree with everything you say, but you’ve done well in this 20 year war with hair loss and look to be winning, most would’ve thrown in the towel. People call it vanity but it’s called hanging onto your prime imo. Going bald is like the first sign of a guys mortality, so there is nothing worse than going bald young.
I do have to say your hair looks healthy and thick. Thanks for the information.
I have DUPA hairloss at 22 which makes all my hair follicles sensitive to hair loss. Not even propecia works on me. You guys are lucky you only have regular male pattern baldness. I'd settle for a hairpiece then.
Then your goal in life should be to become jacked, get some tattoo sleeve on one arm, and wear great clothes like mark strong. You CAN become that man in the future if you work for it. A good looking bald man.
Hey man hair systems look great these days. They even have full cap ones if your side hair is to thin.
Your skin is looking very nice in this video!
Thanks beautiful.
I think problem with asking family isn't just cuz it's family but cuz they see your hair the most, so they're less likely to notice a change, a stranger would be a better choice
Thank you so much for your videos. I learn a lot each time I watch you speak.
Happy to help.
so basically I should bite the bullet and take finasteride?
Yeah.
Until we genetically remove this dogshit effect, every man should go on the pill when he turns 20.
Hey Kev, every shop/company/online pharmacies here in the UK Ive looked at who sell Finasteride they all contain Titanium Dioxide as one of the other ingredients. Why the hell are they putting TITANIUM in medications for. Makes my Dermatitis horrendous.
Does anyone else see the whole Blue vs Red Pill movement as still part of a dichotomy with someone else controlling the outcome and opt for NO PILL?
You can also take the white or black pill
@@steveg9302 I don't believe in dichotomies.
Euf euf euf.
Slaphead has spotted a dichotomy.
Euf euf euf.
Hi Kevin.
First of all congrats for all your efforts and the information you provide to all.
I have a few questions, I would appreciate if you can answer them:
How many years are you on oral finasteride?
For how long time the high libido was existed for you ?
When did you fully returned to the same libido levels as before starting oral fin ?
Are you periodically (e.g. once or twice a year) taking breaks from oral fin e.g. for about 2-3 weeks?
Where have you done your hair transplants and what is the satisfaction rate regarding the naturalness, density, donor management?
Have a nice day.
Thank you very much.
Thanks choom!
1. About 10 years consistently and then on and off several years before then.
2. I still have a high libido, even in my fourties. It never went away.
3. Libido never diminished. Early on I gave myself a nocebo effect due to rampant fear mongering but that was in my head.
4. About an 8 out of 10. I like it but I wished I had more work done on the temporal points.
@@haircafekevin thank you very much for your prompt response chief!
Really an incredible video
“Fuck them, let them suffer by themselves” lol I appreciate the honesty man 👍
I tried finasteride 4 years ago when I was overweight. Did my crazy research and then felt like I had awful brain fog. Maybe I psyched myself out and stopped. Just ordered some fin and will start slowly. Will do 1 mg everything other day and continue my daily weight training. Wish me luck!
Are you doing well right now?
Yeah, how are you?
Any update dawg?
I agree with the every other day and adjusting up or down, the actual mg amount being more important than the frequency
I wonder what he does for a living he’s a great confident talker, I think I’d buy anything from this guy. He’d def be a great salesman lol.
He works as a pharmacist
In the UK you can get 2%topical ketoconazole leave on cream in the supermarket for about £5 for 15g without prescription or online you can get 30g 2% ( 20mg per gram). The brand is daktarin . The shampoo is fine too if you just add the oil back in with some hair oil or conditioner.
I have been taking blue pill split into 4 halves.hope it works.
heartwarming honesty!
Hi, do you have any pictures of your hair before treatments?
He has another channel called Kevin mann too his hair looked bad before the transformation is crazy
It is a more of a mat terracotta coloured pill.
I'm just ordering it. I never get side effects from anything anyway. Thanks Kevin.
No problem, good luck man!
I’m doing trt which I find very helpful all around and have added in finasteride, hair vitamins and a dht blocking shampoo to hopefully counter the potential hair loss issues from trt
Are you related to Henry Rollins?
Love u for the last words!! Ty very much!
Is there any difference in effectiveness between generic finasteride and Propecia? Also, what is you view on companies like Hims, Roman, and Keeps?
