I'm so happy we have a channel like this to help overcome hair issues that "normally" occur in men as we get older. Suggestions here have helped me achieve all time hair length enough to tie up comfortably while feeling thicker and healthier.
if it ever gets so bad bro, atleast youll have a trip to turkey vlog to upload. think big work smart
Plus you can claim tax back from it. Boom 💥
What’s so special about Turkey? Sorry I’m out of the loop.
@@riyadhbadi965 Turkey is known for hair transplants.

It's good to see you're doing what you need to do to combat hair loss. Many people give up on the fight, sometimes without even trying medications.
Thank you Luca for being so open about this whole topic. Hopefully this works wonders for you.
The endless selfies, I relate to that so much 💀
Will you consider doing an update video in a few months to show how effective it's been for you? I've also noticed seeing my scalp more since growing out my hair and I'm curious to see if this actually fixes the issue for you. For now though I'm not gonna trust the before and after photos a product has on its own store page.
Good on you for doing something about it. I noticed cracks of scalp on my head at 24 and immediately lost it; started obsessing about how my hair looked from all angles, taking endless selfies to gape in horror at how bad it was getting everyday. Luckily I started on oral fin shortly thereafter; hair's stayed the same since then and thickened up slightly.
my grandfather has a full head of hair at 89 and I'm losing it at 20. fuck.
Same man .my grandfather is 89 nd he till date styles his thick hair like a 20 yrs old would do .but here I am at 25 struggling to maintain my hair style bcz it got thinner nd finner.sometimws it gives me sleepless nights . I don't know what to do. Sometimes i feel just to shave it nd see whether it's just hair being fine or actual density reduction. But it makes me sad.
Same
Good luck man! It's difficult to tell sometimes if your hair is thinning or whatnot or if it's just like, natural maturation of your hairline, ect. it's difficult to know what to do, but i'm trying tio not stress about it and to just keep an eye on it.
Well, from the products which you promote only minoxidil is efficient to a noticible degree and it by no means should be used as stand alone treatment, but in conjunction with some dht blocker (finasteride or so). Neither biotin nor caffeine nor saw palmetoo in your shampoo will have any significant influence on your hair, and these so called "hair vitamins" will work only if one had a big vitamin deficiency, which stands for like 1% of population. Guys, do not buy these products, check any legit hair-loss-prevention channel on yt and listen to them.
The oral treatment is a DHT blocker
@@LucaSantangeloUK Those plant DHT blockers have been shown in animal studies to block some DHT. Very little amount and it's on animals! These plant based DHT blockers are great for prevention when hair loss has not even started like in your 16-18s but once it starts even if it's super slightly, you need the real deal which is finasteride!! Finasteride is the king of all hair loss prevention!!!! Minoxidil is the best supplementary treatment together with ketoconazole shampoo! No offense, but this company are selling you bullshit vitamins with an already established minoxidil product that has been out on the market for at least 30 years. They just rebranded and repackaged it for way too much cash! You can buy minoxidil for more than half the price of this overpriced company
@@LucaSantangeloUK is it finasteride? Or saw palmetto?
Check haircare on TH-cam
Your journey has been so similar to mine. I’ve always had longer hair and people know me for it, I suddenly noticed it thinning and was extremely obsessive. Other people say I’m being ridiculous because I still have a full head of hair but it’s very obvious it’s thinning and you’re constantly thinking about it getting worse. I’ve got a couple of friends on manual so have just started too. I spent days reading about the side effects of finasteride but there are some pretty big studies that show they happen in less than 2% of people, no side effects so far. Ultimately i am hoping this holds me for a while but I am also becoming more comfortable with the idea of losing my hair, you will always make the best of the situation if/when that happens. Whilst it’s painful if my hair goes I will assess how I feel and make sure I can accept myself that way before deciding whether or not a transplant is right for me. It’s important to remember you always have that choice. Even without hair you would still be you and still look cool as shit, it is also a great opportunity to become more kind to yourself and learn about acceptance; even if it’s just for the time period of a transplant taking effect. Lastly I found manuals minoxidil made my hair really greasy so I’ve carried on using their finasteride but switched out for regains foam which doesn’t seem to have the same greasy effect.
update? 17M and topical minoxidil non responder. I currently take 1mg finasteride and 0.5mg oral minoxidil daily.
Very good vid Luca! Much love from me and Lucie
I'll give Manual a go, I used to have perfect shiny healthy hair in year 12 and I slipped out of my routine when school finished so my hair went downhill, I want to get it back to that level again.
You are completely not balding. it's normal to see your scalp. As a dermatologist I wouldn't of prescribed any medication after looking over your videos of your head. There's no noticeable miniaturization of hair. But it's good to get on a prevention protocol .
Exactly!
It's also normal to have different hair types.. it's not normal to see your scalp more than you used to. I fking wish people hadn't told me "doh it's normal" and "just a mature hairline". Now I'm dealing with a fking crap hairline and a much thinner crown.
I look at other people's hair who have thinner hair than I used to, and I just get jealous.
THANK YOU.
I'm in the same situation. Even though my head is full of hair right now, I feel that it isnt as dense anymore as it used to be back when i had medium hair. T3T
....though I doubt I'll be checking them out. I'm 66 now (one of your oldest viewers?) And 20 months into hair growth; long, thick and luscious - not a speck of baldness anywhere, not especially grey - just nice. And my hairline same as when I was 16. My friends of your age say it's "fierce"..... your videos have been helpful and uplifting. Remember, caro Luca, moderation in all things .... including a moderate amount of overindulgence?...
Hey... 66 ain't old at all my man. You should infact check 'em out. If you live to be 90, you still have 24 fucking years to live.
TRT?
@@30yearolduncaringboomer75 Nice. You're right - but if I only reach 90, I won't have had time to grow up! And, even if I find my first bald spot when I'm say 87 I shan't mind since I won't be wanting to look after my thick, luscious locks when I'm 102 (I'll be too busy!)
As for testosterone, latest research suggests all men have similar amounts. Having little body hair but full head hair simply indicates a different distribution around the body. Men with more body hair, and more baldness, are statistically less intelligent and interaction between the brain and our hormones may explain this (though, as they say, research is ongoing....!)
Thanks for taking the trouble... you lucky youngster you! x
That’s life for some. Good on you for speaking about it. At least you still got a strong hairline.
"Its a difficult concept to come into terms with"
This...this explains it all, especially on the early stages, one doesn't simply accept the fact that they wake up one day knowing that their head is balding and their hair follicles are closing, we all are born with hair and grow up having it without minding it as an issue until it comes to this point, unless you have a rare condition where your body can't produce any hair since birth.
His density is getting reduced & he knows that well because he can feel the difference between past & present. Wiith time slowly his hair follicles dies & he choosed right treatment for delaying his hair loss. I too facing same exact problem & am too taking same treatment since last week. Hope for the best.
Hey Luca,
I am in a similar boat to you at the moment. I suspect the oral treatment is finasteride. It is definitely highly effective and something I will be using soon too. I just want to kindly advise you to keep an eye on its effects on your body and monitor them because there are people experiencing different degrees of side effects from it. I also want to inform you about the topical application of FIN, which is supposed to reduce systemic absorbtion and thus lower siede effect risks. I think your hair loss progresses very slowly at the moment and you could get away with a combination of Minox and FIN applied topically rather than lowering your complete DHT levels systemically with the pill.
edit
You may also want to look into microneedling, which can basically double your results with MIN.
Also, ketoconazole might be worth taking a look at.
its also woth remebering that MIN is a lifelong commitment because progress gained on it will be lost when stopping. IMO you could get away with FIN only, and maybe even just topical as I said.
I am wishing you all the best on your journey. Just don't get discouraged by the initial shedding phase of FIN + MIN.
Cheers!
You are on point with this post my man. Sounds like you’ve been watching Derek. I’m on the same protocol, about 2.5 months in so far. Best of luck
@@tim712 Yes, him actually and haircafe :). I am on topical fin 0.025% atm for about two months now with no sides. Got bloodwork done beforehand which I use to kind of track its efficacy. I an planing on doing the pill Monday, Wednesday, Friday though soon... best of luck to you alswell!
@@Neoooooooooooooooooooooooo what is your thoughts behind also doing oral fin on mon, wed, and fri?
I’m 20 and I’ve never had the best hair genes. I’ve always had very thin hair. I remember when I was 15 my barber said I wasn’t going to have this hair forever and that shit scared me. But I’ve come to terms with it I realized that it doesn’t matter and as long as I can grow a beautiful beard I’m okay with being bald one day.
My dad and all his brothers are bald and I have widows peak but I can see mature hairline and Ik I’m gonan start receding soon 😂 but I workout and try getting sharp jawline and we be alright
Great vid Luca
Well done, young Luca bello regazzo! Reckon you've fodder for at least another fifty or sixty years of videos now! All love and kindness.....
Same story here man but it still looks great 👍 embrace the age and wisdom that comes with it although it is a hard pill to swallow, it’s something we all go through. Cheers mate still looking dapper
Hair systems is a great way to have head hair non stop without ever having to worry about losing hair
You’re the man !!!
Im exactly at the same stage as you are, ive been on a similar treatment before and stopped. I think is incredibly important to point out that once you start you might as well treat it as a lifetime commitment, or at least for as long as you want thick looking hair on your head.
Because once you stop the treatment you notice EXTREME loss in a matter of months (2-4 months you experience insane shedding).
I know its genetics and everyone is different, but statistics play a part in this. Yes it really works 90% of the time but the new hairs that you get from Minoxidil are not "yours" per se, you stop they just fall again.
Just an heads up to anyone considering investing time and money on this.
So pretty much think of it like brushing your teeth but for the hair right?
Thank you very much for sharing this Luca. I started getting into hairstyling back in 2015 while still at school and subscribed to your channel soon afterwards. My hair was already naturally fair but I was able to maintain a quiff for about 5 years. I stopped styling it when Covid hit as I was mostly home everyday and thought I could just go back to it afterwards, but my hair has thinned more since and my hairline has receded considerably around the temples despite only being in my early 20s. So I don't do anything with my hair anymore which has affected my confidence. I'll definitely give this treatment a look, thanks for sharing and for your openness 🙂
Would this treatment help with restoring your hairline?
Yes, and also consider adding microneedling. It speeds up the process
Is it working for you so far? 😅
@@54elmorocks1 hello there. I was on minoxidil+microneedling for about a year. Added 0.5mg daily dose of finasteride 2 weeks ago to the treatment. It has helped me gain back a tiny bit of my hairline and a bit of density on top already. No sides. In my opinion you shouldnt wait if you are struggling with hair loss🤝
@@54elmorocks1 hey man, I'll be honest I haven't actually gotten round to purchasing this yet with how expensive everything has become but will try to get started after saving up a bit! Thanks for reminding me 😅
@@markbaternai1548 How is it going now? did you get more of your hair back?
Bro he doesnt even loose hair. Its a mature hair line which 95% of men get regardless if they are balding or not. It just mesns youre getting older. Androgenic alopecia looks way different. Also I think that male pattern hair loss doesnt come from your mothers side, it is proven that 80% of men have the same hair as their father. If you look at your father and his father, I think you will get a real good assesment. If there is a dermatologist around, pleas tell me if im completely wrong.
Also guys a tip, dont do weight training. Do cardio. Ever wondered why soccer players have such good hair usually? Jogging is proven to lower stress and DHT. Lots of men loose hair due to excessive weight training and taking supps/steroids. Also generally men, do live unhealthier generally so studies will obviously show more hair loss on average.
I know my opinion doesn't weight a lot but personally I don't see any hair thinning from you, it looks just as healthy as always. Of course take the prescription as you like but I see no difference. :) good content as always
ur blind.
Yeah his “thinning” hair is the density have now and I’m 16. That kinda scares because it’ll be more noticeable when mine starts thinning
@JELL_HT i do have different thickness of hair in my head is it thinning?
It's just a silly ad video don't fall for it.
@@ryannshadow yes they do. All your hairs isn't the same. It is even normal to have some minituriazation. Hair is a complicated thing. Even our so-called experts hardly knows anything about it - even if they tell you different.
Bro your hair is completely fine ,the empty part is just the hairline bro
On the topic of the obsession with taking pictures: Don't trust them too much, I went through the same phase and had, at one point, 1100 photos of the back of my head. What I concluded was, at least for iphone cameras, they try to make the picture look brighter and so the crown area of your head looks worse than it actually is. From the pictures you show at 0:30 I can see your problem is that you don't style your hair whirl the "right way". It looks like you force a part of the hair to go straight to the "front", towards the mid-scalp but those are the hair at the whirl so you should "let them flow" the way they are supposed to be- in a circular motion.
What you show at 1:19 is just what's called a hair part. Look at girls with long hair, ALL of them have this exact same thing, maybe not at that particular place because they usually part their hair in the middle. A good indicator to see, if your hair actually gets thinner is by keeping an eye on the size of the part. If it grows wider, then I'd start to worry.
Sorry for this long comment but I deeply relate to you, as I went through all this as well.
You really don't have to worry that much, hair loss usually starts at the temples + you have your mature hairline already.
It's good that you take minox but it's probably not even necessary yet.
Exactly my thinking
Your hair will thicken up if you cut it short and let it grow back. Use a comb instead of a brush, eat red a green veggies and include cardio also when you are growing it back moisturize with a very simple product like hair butter. Stay away from rubber bands it pulls the hair out when too tight use a clip or like a head band instead. Just a lil advice it worked for me. My hair is much healthier now. Good luck!
how long does it take with that habit to fully recover your hair?
@@Bos_Meong you will see results in the first week and in one month your hair will be thicker
@@justinesagan178 beside veggies do you also eat lot of red meat or fish or smth?
@@Bos_Meong no red meat fish a d poultry only
I will never forget that feeling when I discovered my hair was thinning. Was like the world had ended 😆 I was in my late 20’s but now I’m in my late 30’s I couldn’t give a shit! I think that’s the general consensus in my experience is the older we become the less serious such an issue like hairloss seems.
same experience, i noticed it 2 months ago. shaved it off to a buzz cut and started with some derma rolling and rosemary oil. what happens beyond that is not in my control so i dont care.
bro i have mphl despite being bio female so much worse than this guy and I havent even hit my 20's. I feel incredibly insecure, i wish it was at least female pattern. I recently had to get a blood lab since my hormones are probably fucked
@@CeltyST96 rosemary oil man. I started that too. How is it for u?
@@CeltyST96 how does your hair look now
@@deruneldembal5048 its getting better, still not optimal but better than before. i think it need some more time.
The products featured in the video is basically prescription finasteride (90 x 1mg) and some unfortunately overpriced 5% minoxidil sprays - which is not recommended as the research suggests applying 1ml worth in the scalp twice a day for best results - should still work regardless. Impressive products but people would be better off buying the kirkland brand minoxidil for half the price per bottle, and getting direct and monitored prescription finasteride or dutasteride from your healthcare provider as those may come with side effects. Which the service does offer some convenience for those who would want to try the products first - for a few extra bucks.
Atleast its not biotin supplements, and are treatments that actually work.
These miracle pill companies prey on the gullible and men really worrying about hair loss. Both unacceptable to be honest. If only more men would just do some basic research.
whats wrong with biotin supplements?
@@mondmarquez2306 doesn’t block DHT
@@Sol-xk8ho but it actually helps right?
@@mondmarquez2306 not unless it blocks DHT, which it doesn’t. Or unless you don’t have male pattern baldness
I was going through a similar situation. Crazy thick and full hair in my 20s and starting to thin a bit in late 20s. I also had a man-bun and then medium-length hair. Cutting my hair definitely made a significant difference as my hair was weighted down and it just didn't feel healthy. I haven't noticed any more thinning for 2 years now and I'm 32 now. I think with some guys the hair density matures the same way the hairline does. I would def recommend getting a haircut before making drastic decisions.
Bro i have curly hair and ive had a manbun for 1 year now. But i noticed that its getting thinner now. I just turned 21. So youre suggesting that longer hair will eventually lead to thinning and hairloss? Should i cut my hair?

@@ariantaghdiri7937 Potentially yes. Man buns can be quite unhealthy for your hair (traction alopecia) and in general high maintenance.

i wanted to ask you a question i have been growing out my hairs for over 2 years now and some of my friends are recommending me for those expensive keratin hair treatments and i have been seeing your videos for a long time now so i wanted to ask you about are they truly worth getting or not ?
Fleabag would say: « Hair is everything ! » 😁
Your hairline is amazing
I have used minoxidil before and I wasn't experiencing much thinning but when I stopped areas where I never experienced hair fall started to thin
rules number 1 if you want to use minoxidil, don't ever think to stop.
@@thehello1209 I used it for 3 months and i started to have dry scalp. My doctor told me to stop for 10 days and gave me a cream for the dry scalp. He told me it wont affect my therapy 🤔
im 21 and seeing some thinning, i have thick long red hair just like my mom. my dad on the other hand is pretty much thinned out lol. the last 1-2 months ive noticed my hair/hairline thinner and left side of temple receeded just a little bit. i thought about hopping on minoxidil but havent decided. im factoring in the that i was dealing with a breakup from a woman i truly loved. my diet went from decent to eating almost no food protein/calories for the last 7-8 months, stress out the roof, smoking, vitamin deficient, etc. so i think these all have played a huge factor in it. before i decide to get on minoxidil im going to try to fix the things i can control. get back into healthy shape with a real diet, stop stressing as much, get the correct supplements/vitamins in my body, etc. if i try and continue to have hair problems then i will get on minoxidil. im not 100% sure if what i said could be a reason to my hair problems but i think it is. i've never had any problems till i stopped taking care of myself this last year. any opinions and is what im saying an actual possibility. thanks
Thank you bro
Any recommended alternatives for those not in the UK? Went to purchase but discovered Manual is UK only :(
You don’t have to use manual. It’s just minoxidil spray + finasteride tablets. You can use any brand.
...but I self-centredly forgot (I blame the dawn smoke!) core purpose of my post; many thanks for the videos which were informative, uplifting and inspirational (though I wish I'd a better way of tying it up - as I always do when out - as too much for a topknot and too long for a ponytail but at least it's not stringy! I find that a bit sad - even on men half my age. Why? I'd cut it short, or shave it all off were I balding. I think.) Thanks again, Luca
Great video Luca. Wondering if the minoxidil spray have any side effects? Is it true once you start using it, you can’t stop?
Yup
First of all thanks Luca for being honest and open for all your followers, I think that the only way for making your hair thicker, is by undergoing a hair transplantation. Using the mixodile medicine will bring also some bad side effects, and it doesn't work for everyone. But it's only my advice, I appreciate your advice and hope in the future it will be alright. I also love my hair so much, I had thick hair until the age of seventeen, my hair is thinning and I also have some little bald spots which makes the scalp visible. This could make every man unconfident (because it's our adornment) , but we have to get used to it. Love you all guys!
The thing is, I'll 100% hop on using minoxidil forever someday BUT im too scared to even talk about FIN since one of the side effects that I've been seeing and reading around the internet is basically stripping you off of ur manhood (if yk what i mean) although studies says it's low risk i believe but doesn't mean there is no chance of it happening. THEREFORE im questioning myself about whether using minoxidil alone would work well (even if it took more time than needed) or using microneedling + minoxidil AT MOST.
Word of advice don’t plug a sponsorship on a hairloss company on a video like this because it all just seems like a big promo
My hair so THIC!! And it grow so freaking fast.
Damm your thinning hair is thicker than mine
Im 14 hair is somewhat thinning like yours. I can't use minoxidil at my age so what should I do?
His hair looks fuller thinning than mine ever has
thanks bro it really helps
im italian, i have the same thing, no bald patch but an overall hair thinning, on my side i thing that it is anemia, have u ever checked ur iron level?
Thanks for all your videos , you the man bro 😎
What is the size of the sides of the hair when the hair grows to medium length while keeping our hair long?
Can you make a video on how to identify male pattern baldness and that its not just Hair Breakage due to lifestyle/actions or Maturing hair line?
Honestly man, I feel like it only looks like it’s thinning because you grew it out. If you see a regular barber or hair stylist that might be a better judge🤷🏽♂️

It looks good but I wouldn't call it completely fine. I've definitely seen guys with thicker hair
People that are ACTUALLY balding watching this: 👁👄👁
And dont see balding on his head...
I wish I ever had hair like your "thinning" version =D
Anyone who’s on a budget I’ve seen results by doing daily head massages (5 mins) consistency is also really important, getting a good shampoo and taking vitamins.
Scalp massages don't work, it's the natural anagen phase of hair loss
And Finasteride is like 6 bucks a month with a coupon lol
@@Grayest_Fox Scalp massages work...
Can you use hair styling products after using the spray? And can you use the shampoo 2-3 times a week?
Having long hair, weakens it & falls more! combing it when is wet.. also makes it fall!😔 that was happening to me, now my situation is better.
What did you change to make it stop?
heyyyyy there you looking for a brighter season
Hey Luca, what are your glasses frame called (brand, style)? Thanks in advance!
that photo of CROWN area you were showing is completely normal or your crown was thinning and losing hair? Anyone ?
I also have long hair, and I’ve read that finasteride causes you to shed a lot of hair after about 2 months of treatment, and then you may start to see some hair starting to grow back, I’m worried to try it cause I don’t necessarily want to lose a bunch of hair before I can start to grow more, also it’d be different lengths cause my old hair is long and has had years of growth, I’m curious to see how it would work for a guy with long hair before I’d want to try it 🤔
It's mostly the thin hair that will shed, not everything
Only hairs that are weak and thin. Not healthy hairs
If you are not sure about finasteride I would highly recommend you explore some of the plant treatments for hair loss (Amla, Hibiscus ((specifically Hibiscus Rosa Sinesis)), Rosemary, Peppermint ...). Studies have proven that these plants are just as effective as minoxidil at regrowing hair, but they don't come with all the potential harmfull side effects, but actualy function in more areas/ways, not just hair regrowth (preventing dandruff, reducing scalp itchiness, strengthening and repairing the outer layer of hair, prolonging the growth phase of hair ....)
Tip. If you take out a manual subscription and just before it’s about to renew, go to cancel the subscription and you usually get offered a discount every time. I’ve been with manual for a year and I’ve never paid full price for their products.
How was your treatment? Now your hair looks better?
Have you ever gone to a dermatologist to see whats going on with your hair?
Is it possible to get benefits from caffeine drinking coffee? Or does it work only with hair products?
So you wash your hair once a week? Do you recommend that with also working out? How many days a week?
I also had beautiful hair like him and would style it from 17-19. Then starting from 20, it began to go to shit. Now at 23, it is a disaster as I have a true case of male pattern baldness unlike him who just has diffused thinning however his case will get worse by his late twenties if he doesn’t get on a 5ar inhibitor ASAP. I am trying to maintain for as long as possible and reverse as much of it as I can with Dut, Oral Minox & RU58841.
Your 100% right bro.
How will it get worst if he’s using rogaine and finasteride and shampoos and vitamins
Just wanna share my story. I also used to have really thick and full set of hair. But when the pandemic hits, I decided to grow my hair out. During the growing out phase, I realized that my hair feels thinner, and I feel like I can see my scalp more. I also had issues with my scalp being so dry that it started flaking, and the hair itself are so oily. So I chop a lot of them off leaving the usual undercut quiff look. My hair did got thinner. Well, at least the individual strands are. But I still have a lot of them. It's way easier to style now since my thick hair was quite unruly. But it is harder to maintain volume, so prestyling is pretty much needed for me. Don't know how this happened, but it did
Stress can fuck up your hair quality big time.
@@alexandrosstavrou4224 Yeah stress and unhealthy lifestyle is the main causes of thinning and hair loss

It’s always best to start before it’s too bad. As long as your treatment includes finasteride or dutasteride you’ll keep your hair. I’ve been taking it for 2 years now, no side effects, no regrets.

Agreed. 10-year efficacy studies on finasteride (monotherapy) reveal prevention and improvement. And Dutasteride is an even more potent 5AR inhibitor/"DHT blocker" - especially 2.5mg.

Yup, I recommend hopping on finasteride, that’s what I recently did, I’ve been a diffused thinner since I was 16 (that’s crazy) and so I got on finasteride about 4 months ago ( at 20 yrs old) and this been great, no side effects at all, but definitely stacking ketoconazole shampoo helps
do you dermaroll as well?
@@LzKicker17 i gave that up really, its useful for serious hairloss but, in my opinion i just use finasterde and ketoconazole shampoo and I'm getting significant progress
@@roninxerox1833 hmmm what about your liblo?? And how much regrowth did you get? Like did you get the original density back??.. I'm on tropical Minoxidil with tropical finasteride but considering shifting to oral finasteride..
fin and min bro.
just a heads up, my sides didnt kick in until a year and a half in, just be wary when using it, and don't ignore signs to cut down the dosage
In terms of just maintenance, I have no clue why people do not use topical dutasteride. Its better than everything else with the caveat of not being able to use it near pregnant women (also slightly more expensive than finasteride).
Oral is better
no its not because the DHT reduction is localized just to your scalp topically. you dont want 90+% drops in your DHT throughout your entire body
@@toto-valentin even topically, the chemicals go through your blood flow, just a bit less than oral, but the results aren't so good either.
So I’m 20 rn, and I have Asian-like hair (thick and often a little oily). My Dad has very thin hair and has some balding. Should I start right now?
Perhaps u thought of it already, but it could be from tying is back too often as well, I thought I was thinning but it turns out I just had it up too much
by any chance did your hair type change as you got older? my hair started getting wavy for some reason out of nowhere i’m in my mid 20s now
I had also a very straight hair as I was a kid in my 19 I started ti notice some curls,
Your body changes and also your hair , by hormones and all kind of stuff
Yes!! I had like straight har before and it just got overly curly when I turned 14 for some reason. It's been the same since then. I'm 20 now. They say hair changes its texture every 5-7 years.
My hair went from straighter wavy to curly at 18
I can also see my scalp for a while now and im not losing hair
I am vegan, and can totally say that it does or can affect your hair! However remembering to take your supplements and eat healthy whole foods. Does hair loss or receding run in your family?
fin and min, luca. It is hormonal. Good luck!
Bro are you gonna use minoxidil forever ?
Thinner hair, but the same great Luca
Bro I used to have the same full thick mediterranean mane but as with age it started to reduce in volume. I still have a full head of hair it is just not as thick and it seems it has lost "shape" like it never stays the way i put it unless I use very strong products. Also my hair is naturally straight and soft.
It may or may not come in helpful for anyone out there. Try using microneedling (0.5 - 1 mm) i recommend 1 mm once/week (try combining microneedling with minox (it improves the minoxidil penetration of your scalp to reach at the hair follicle), or consider using oils, i would suggest a combination of rosemary, peppermint, and lavender oil diluted with a carrier oil). I've started microneedling with 0.5 mm, moving towards 1 mm (not higher to avoid scalp bleeding or issues). If you guys want, i can share with you some scientific papers which highlights the efficacy of every oil i've specified, and microneedling also. P.S. If you pick minox, you must continue, if you stop, the shedding will appear after a while. Have a great day !
But i think we have to keep using minoxidil because the moment you stop, the hairfall will start again.
is this plan also suitable for prevention in general or just strengthening my hair while I'm growing them out again?
No don't use minoxidil if ur not losing hair once ur on it you can't stop
im allergic to minoxidil, so im growing my hair out to look like devin townsend when he was in strapping young lad, just in case i go full bald mode
Hair loss is so fucking depressing, i have a great hairline but my crown area has thinned alot, although i dont experience hair loss as much as i used to before, it's still a huge kick to your self esteem
Buzzcut
@@dravelenhawk2673 already have a buzzcut, but it's more so a very short crew cut, it really suits my face and alot of people say it looks much better than my medium to long hairstyles so it did kind of help me with my hairloss insecurity
Get on Finasteride and get some Minoxidil
15 bucks together
NEVER fall for the "Shave it Bro"
hey bro pls relply im depressded , what is hair thinning means? is it the quantity of hairs or a hair size?
bro im worring about my long hair.. my hair looks like 0:24 almost exatcly the same. the same scalp looking and thing.. im only 15 should i be worried about it?
"If I go bald, at least give me a beard"
Body: understood. Let's get to work "Prioritize ass hair"
i think you might be suffering from age related thinning rather than male pattern baldness which unfortuanately happens in your 20s
I think DHT should not be overlooked. Minoxidil sure helps with hair regrowth, but it does not address the root cause of androgenetic alopecia which is DHT, or more precisely one's hereditary hair follicle sensitivity to DHT. This hair loss regime is adequate enough, however it is missing the most important and crucial part of a hair loss treatment plan, namely Finasteride. There is ton of fearmongering regarding this drug, but the percentage of people experiencing side effects is really negligible. Another thing is that if you're experiencing side effects you can simply hop off of the medication.
True
Bro a bunch of people on Reddit been saying they get limped dick and can’t get hard… what dosage is safe and effective. Also what do you think of the other one forgot the name of it but it starts with the letter D(dinastriade?)
@@Cal827 i personally take 1.25mg a day and i haven't had any issues, the other drug you're not talking about is dutasteride, but the side effects with it are the same if not more exacerbated. To put it short, if you have issues with finasteride you'd probably have them with dutasteride too, since dutasteride blocks both type 1 and 2 5ar reductase enzyme, whereas finasteride blocks only type 2.
In how many days,months,years minoxidil start to work ??
how often will you be shampoo'ing per & what about conditioner?
