Took finasteride 2 years ago in dire desperation with having read all the side effects users experienced on the hairloss forums. Lo and behold, I experienced all these so-called “side effects” just short of 3 weeks and eventually discontinued. A year later I decided to give it another shot after coming across Kevin’s videos. It’s been 10 months, I’ve had fantastic results and absolutely no side effects. The nocebo effect is more powerful than we know. Thanks Kevin, you’re the Mann.
Great to hear John! Question, what's your age? I'm on the verge on trying finastride.
@OMENITOLDYOU was it permanent? Sorry to hear that
ohtebowah finasteride is out of your system in 3 months completely
How much time it took to stop hairfall
@@lonesahab1935 they say give it 3 to 6 months, to stimulate the regrowth process.

I come everyday to this video to hear that
Not only does this guy create excellent content. He takes the time to respond to questions. Thank you Kevin!
Thanks, I occasionally accidentally miss a few but I try to keep up.
Yeah kevin always reply. ❤ love from india sir.
@@haircafekevin Just became aware of your videos/story. I had a hair transplant 8 Months ago. I Thought I was in the clear with nothing to worry about after rejecting the finastride the Dr recommended due to the "side Effects". Do you recommend I do both Minoxidril and Finastride? Also, what brand of Finastride do you use? Last question, would getting a ready to go package from HIMS be a good option? Thanks for your time. GREAT CONTENT 👍
@@haircafekevin hi Kevin. I am from India. I am 25(going to be 26 in few months). I am in love the early stages of baldness and with doctor's prescription,, i have started using minoxidil and finaseride tablets!! How effective it is? Can I use minoxidil without finaseride? Is it true that if I stop using them, I will return back to my normal state?? My doctor never told me about it being a life long treatment?? Please help me!!! Looking forward to four reply!! Thanks 👍
@@gabriellanoelle1606 hello, i have no side effects. Used minoxidil for almost a year then stopped as Doctor said it should be fine but continued using finaseride tablets
Your videos are really the best on TH-cam for hairloss, 0 BS. Me personally I’m struggling a lot with my hair, I’m 21 and not having success with any form of treatment. I’m already not the best looking guy so the premature hairloss is really concerning for me, it’s effected every aspect of my life.
Anyways, just know that I appreciate your videos and I think you give really sound advice.
Thank you for that. I create these videos in hope that it reaches out to individuals like yourself and gives them valuable input.
Thanks for watching.
Just take androcur.
@@denniero6904 HAHAHA! I wouldn't consider androcur unless you wanted to transition to a woman. Even then spironolactone would be better because its less toxic on the liver.
@@denniero6904 whats androcur?

I actually love finasteride, I was hesitant at first because of the side effects. But now it has been four months of taking it, I could see my hair is coming in thicker and stronger. I’m was not completely bald, but I noticed thinning recently, so I started finasteride. No side effects at all, only thicker hair. Just thought I’d share. 🧑🏻🦱
Which side effects did you get?
At first I thought I was having some side effects, but I realized it was just placebo from reading so much about it. Now it is 6 months in, and honestly I don’t notice one side effect. I take it everyday. Just my hair is growing thicker. It’s a good option if you aren’t completely bald, just thinning.
Still good ?
Does it help your hairline?
This dude is hella entertaining. I could listen to him talk about paint drying lmao
People who look good bald are almost always very good looking guys who'd look good with any haircut. And they'd always look better with a full head of hair anyway.
Yup, because when people are really good looking they can still be good looking even with one major cosmetic flaw. If Brad Pitt were 5'2 he would still be attractive but not as attractive as he would be if he were average height.
Kevin Mann apparently Brad Pitt is 5ft8 but wears shoes that makes him taller.
@@haircafekevin Hey Kevin! What do you think about the studies that say a few people who have been taking finasteride developed breast cancer afterwards?
@@abadam6649 Nah he's a solid 5'11 , you can tell by his proportions that he isn't a small man
Hey Kevin,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for creating these videos. I just turned 19 and in the last year I've been struggling with hair loss but after coming across your channel I learned about finasteride and minoxidil and am currently taking measures to stop my recession. The lifting, diet, and skincare videos have also been super helpful. The video where you documented what you eat in a day actually inspired me to go vegan. For the last month I've been meal prepping with your recipes and it's been amazing. Lately I've been trying to get my life in check by tackling all aspects of my health and you've been a really huge role model. Thank you so much!
Thank you for that! Whenever I create these videos I do so in hope that other people find them valuable.
Your feedback inspires me and I hope you can find utility in my future content.
Thanks for watching.
How are you?
@@dmitrysomeone9867 he's dead or not a vegan xD

Any sides?
@@elshanks1578 I only got headaches for the next few days but then they stopped after like a week.
@@23ELSANCHO same dude this is my first day and i have a light headache as well. thinking of lowering the dosage to .5mg
@@colin8601 sorry yeah I got regrowth but I also use Rogaine so that could be part of the regrowth. The combination honestly saved my hair
That’s good news bro
"Beta-male incel permavirgin" is literally the best insult i have ever heard. That's going in my arsenal.
I want you to get on that new "Baldcafe" podcast and debate those fools. That would be such a beautiful smackdown.
It is different perspectives.. I disagree with his approach that he use against baldness and how bad it is because he is trying to eliminate the problem not solving it but also I respect it and I think it worked for him and other people it is normal to have conflicting opinions.
Just wanted to thank you Kevin, I started Fin/min this week. 1mg oral fin and 5% topical min once at night. I've had long hair all my life, and watching it thin on top has been gruesome. I'm probably going to shave it bald this summer just to see what it looks like, but this will only applying minox easier 😁 Excited to see it grow back afterwards.
Edit: One of the things I was hung up on was having to take this every day for the rest of my life. But you do this with brushing your teeth anyways. And it doesn't even take long to apply minox. And if you don't fight it and shave your head, you gotta do that every few days anyways!
been on finasteride since 2012. No sides. Never looked back.
You just take a pill and save your hair, nothing could be simpler.
Been popping it since 2000. Just about 20y now. Only sides is that I got a little less chest hair and maybe, maybe a little, little less sperm volume. But nothing that affected libido or erection.
And for sure it works. I tested pausing it Two times (don’t ask me why really) and for sure I started shedding more. My chest hair got a little more. So people who claim this post fin syndrome is delusional.
Stefan Holmqvist hey man how do I get cause they saying I need a prescription but I don’t wanna ask my doctor cause he thinks I’m not bold enough yet 🤦🏽♂️
@@litjellyfish have you lost any hair in the 20 years you've been on it?
Mike Deadass Miller i has the exact same issue. In the end I changed doctor and just insisted until I got it.
Also if that do not work. Just book appointing with a hair transplant clinic. Often a consultation is free and even if it cost a visit it’s worth it. They will take a pro look at you and prescribe the medicine.
I’m 34, I first started noticing some thinning of my hair about two years ago. I started doing some research and came across finasteride. I was terrified of the side effects I read online and it took me almost a year to built up the courage and go ahead and start using finasteride, but I must thank you for you’re videos, cause you gave me some solid information based on your experience with finasteride. I’m so glad to have started using it before I lost too much ground. My natural hairline is still in tact and planning to keep it that way. I was also shedding for the first 6 months of using finasteride. But now the shedding has slowed down and I’m noticing some thickening. Btw, I have not experienced any side effects. Stay active guys, do squats, deadlifts, and stay hard!
That's extremely inspiring to hear, well said and good job on not freaking out over the initial shed. I have heard of so many guys starting treatment and then abruptly starting because of the shed. Patience is absolutely needed when fighting hair loss.
Hey dude good for ya let ask 1 question are you from syria
What dosage of fin did you use mate? Did you start off on a lower dose and taper up?
If you have strong thick hair, and some thinning hairs, will the shedding happen with both, or just the thinning hairs?
@@A55YRlAN mate, updates?
Fully agree with the shaving, I've always been saying that. People don't shave it off because they don't care, shaving your head constantly is probably a rather annoying thing and the very fact that they do it just shows how much they do care.
Wow chad dropping blackpillls unbeilievable
Kevin is the hair loss Chad
@@mindegrade3403 nah that's black pill bro.
This man is talking genetic
@@christopherclark8788 yes he is teaching looksmaxxx. It is different than trp bullshit. This is pure black pill.
I agree with everything you said, there is a certain TH-camr (not gonna mention who) who constantly convinces young men to shave their head and to immediately give up on fighting hair loss, for me hair is everything and losing it has effected me a lot but I have decided to fight it I haven’t lost that much yet but I know It will progress, just subbed to your channel thanks for keeping it REAL!
Thanks man, glad to have you!
I think I know who you're talking about and even though I disagree I kinda understand where he is coming from. People will sometimes cope by replacing old biases with new biases and I have nothing against that. For me though I don't think giving up on things that are important to someone is a good thing. If you like something about yourself you should fight to keep it. Nobody gets to tell you what should or should not be important to you, that is for you to decide.
I think we all know which TH-camr you're talking about. I hate to say it, but his entire channel is a gigantic cope. I don't begrudge men seeking contentment and well-being, whatever you need to do to be happy is fair game, but personally I'm not someone who can so readily lie to myself as those guys over there are doing.
Started finasteride one month ago. No serious sides and it already gives me a psychological boots in confidence. It's very convenient as you said, you just take a pill once a day and forget about it, simple as that. I only regret I didn't start earlier.
Have you had side effects or shedding yet?
Hi may I please know how your results have been since using finasteride? Did you experience and side effects from it? Please do let me know your experience it'll really help me. Thank you! :)
Your reaching 40? you look like 27~28 dude.
Haha! You're making me blush. Thanks bruh.
Kevin Mann really shows the importance of hair... with a receding hair like / bald you age so much
@@finz5852 Yeah, I don't think I have ever seen a bald guy that looks young or good. Honestly I have never seen a bald man I would want to look like.
@@haircafekevin Yeah tbh kevin got a top tier facial structure no homo so it does helps with aging well , btw i would love to know how many ml of minox you're using per day since your skin looks really good despite the use of the so called " collagen destroyer " that is supposed to be minox. thx
@@HH-bx6bp Thank you and yeah, I use 6 ml daily for full scalp coverage. The collagen thing was just a weak in vitro study, not strong evidence.

Thanks for addressing the prostrate cancer notion. I recently went to my doctor. I’ve been on finasteride for a year now, and it’s done absolute wonders for me. Life altering forsure. But then he went ahead and scared the crap out of me with that. Glad to hear I won’t be deterred from using it! Appreciate your channel. This needs to blow up for us dudes that have dealt with hair loss!
I loved the reference to "baldcafe" on 1:20
I've been very worried about finasteride lately and have seen a lot of bad things about it. Found your channel today and all I can say is thank you, you've really helped put my mind at ease. I almost stopped taking it, glad I didnt.
Mate, updates?
Mate, update?
Started finasteride today. Norwood 3, 24. Fuck balding! You inspired me to face these irrational fears I had about this drug in the past.
You said the truth man , I am 19 and have just started loosing hair . This helped me realise that I do want to keep my hair . If it all goes down , I will get a transplant and if even then it doesn't work the hair patches have been getting better and in 5-7 years they will certainly be more reliable.
Make sure you have a good doctor and clinic. You are too young to have a hair transplant, and there are some clinics that could destroy you. Check this: th-cam.com/video/Alm8YxtEyfk/w-d-xo.html in spanish but maybe you can understand with subtitles. If you go to a good doctor, you can have a good result with no problems. Be careful
The "Heihachi Mishima look" caught me by surprise :'D nice content as usual Kevin!
Alex Duoomen has to google that one😂😂😂
Thanks for the video! Please do a video on the miniaturisation process and how the process or mechanism of regrowth happens stronger on Finasteride because of DHT being blocked now
When my friends are free they watch insta reels but whenever i become free i watch your videos ❤️
0.5mg/3 times a week gang. No sides, only gains.
That works well for you? I’ve heard of the 1mg 3x a week but not 0.5, let me know 👍
I’m starting on 0.5mg 3x a week. Going to the doctors on Thursday
Hey Kevin, just wanted to say thank you for the videos that you do and the truth that you put out regarding hair loss. I started balding at age 23 and I went into depression for a good 2 years. Because of your videos, I got the confidence to get on finasteride. Let me tell you, it has been the best thing I ever did. It stopped my hair loss from progressing. My hair looks less sad and more fuller than before thanks to finasteride. I was so scared to take it at first because of all the negative side effects I hear about the drug. If I had taken finasteride right then at age 23, I would have saved my hairline. I'm on close to 4 months on finasteride and my hair stylist has noticed how much better my hair looks now than before. Thanks again and keep spreading the truth out there man. God bless.
That's awesome to hear and I feel focusing on the positive and enjoying the benefits is a real good approach to it.
Every morning when I wake up and rub my hands through my hair I am grateful that I didn't take my hair for granted and I reflect on all the good it has done me in my social and professional life.
Update?
@@GARR3TTST3W my hairline has been very good. I visited a doctor and they couldn’t tell I had male pattern baldness now. I’m still on finasteride just in case.
I started thinning at the age of 27 when I had my first son. I think part of the loss is from stress and just plain male pattern baldness. I had my second son 3 years later and now 34 years old. I'm 6'7' and which means must people didn't see my thinning. I've started Finasteride and minoxidil 6 months ago and when I started seeing results within 2 months. My hair dresser claims my hair growth is back at the levels pre kids. After 6 months my hair has definitely returned back to my 20's before kids. I believe I was the perfect candidate for this treat as I wasn't bald but just thinning. I have had zero side effects and my results are almost to good to be true. I have great before and after photos that show the amazing regrowth. Thanks for the info Kevin and I hope my success story can help other people.
That is extremely inspiring to hear. Thank you for that and big time congrats on your glorious hair gains.
How do you take your finasteride?
@@MarcusAurelius12 I use the program Keeps and they send me all my supplies. I know it's probably more expensive this way but it's really more about the set it and forget approach. I take my Finasteride every morning after brushing my teeth which is a 1mg pill. I apply the minoxidil every night about a hour before bed. I don't apply minoxidil twice a day like your supposed to. I have still seen great results at the forehead where I only apply it.
Joe Scan do you mind sharing the before and after?
@@TheJoeScan I take finasteride 3 times a week. I found a video where these doctors talk about it. I'll share it with you. They explain you only need it 3 times a week. But everyone's body is different. Have you noticed any side effects? The only side effects I seem to be having every now and then is ED. btw I'm super happy for you man!!! I know the feeling and stress of hair loss and I dont wish that crap on anyone
I've been antagonistic towards the "Just shave it bro" crowd online even since i was in my teens 14-15 (so way before my hairloss started) on the internet cause it seemed so stupid to me.
In the video game community it's not Statham or the Rock it's "Shave it off ,grow a beard and hit the gym Kratos style" and when I hear that my eyes do a somersault in my head and I can see my brain having an aneurysm.
You have a great head of hair, looks very thick with no visible hair loss at the front as far as I can see. I do however disagree with your point about bald guys being seen as less attractive to women, some guys will admittedly not suit being bald but some actually look better bald, it all depends on the individual’s facial features, head size and body type. I personally know quite a few bald men who have a girlfriend or wife that is a 8/9/10 in the looks department, also seen tons on Instagram ect. The whole “women won’t like me if I’m bald” argument just seems to be out of ones own insecurity in my opinion. Obviously if you’re bald or going bald and are visibly insecure about it then it’ll have a negative impact on your dating game, but from what I’ve seen if you just own it with confidence then it won’t matter. Besides, if you were bald and there is a particular woman you’re wanting to shoot your shot with and she ignored or rejected you purely over the fact that you were bald, why would you even want to be with her anyway? There’s a high chance she would just cheat on you or throw you away once a more attractive guy comes a long. Some women will care about hair but most don’t care, there are also some women that are into the bald look. I think it just comes down to personal preference, too many guys care more about females opinions on them than they do about their own opinion on themselves
Bro I really like your energy and everything you say your very informative with your information and very truth. Thanks for your time and information
Im surprised you don't have more followers.
Thanks man! It makes me feel good making these videos knowing other people are watching and finding inspiration and valuable information in them.
@@haircafekevin thanks bro
i hate the fear mongering on these websites regarding finasteride or even minoxidil. it made me scared to try finasteride, a medication which gives me 0 side effects !
My only issue with finasteride is that I'm still experiencing hair loss
I’m on fin and still shedding a lot too, but meanwhile I’m growing some thicker hair, so maybe it kinda work
Hey guys I’m all natural right now and finally stopped my shedding. We will see if the natural route can pause MPB just as finasteride does.
I wished you did an entire video on "just shave it bro!", especially now with your editing and such.
Started getting a receding hairline at 18. Didn't go on treatments initially as I read about all the side effects and just thought I was getting a 'mature hairline'. 19 now and it's gone too far back for my liking. While I do the have the financial resources for a hair transplant, your channel and the hairless show have convinced me to take finasteride and use rogaine till I'm 25. Started taking it last night and hoping there's some regrowth. Thank a ton

"...it looks like you're trying to grow hair upside down." Hahahahaha!
One of the best hair loss channels on TH-cam. Very informative, and I also appreciate how you quote actual studies instead if of just spewing out nonsensical bro science. I have been taking finasteride for around 3 months with no side effects until recently. I have been suffering from mild testicular pain for about a week but I’m convinced this is due to the nocebo effect because I only recently started suffering from this after reading that it was one of the the possible side effects, and I only ever really notice it when I pay attention to it. Anyway keep up the good work.
Second week with finasteride, absolutely zero side effects. I actually think my virility increased substantially!!! Thanks a million Kevin!!! Third month with minoxidil, and noticing the benefit from that. Can’t wait for the year mark on both.
That's awesome to hear and I know the feeling. I remember my girlfriend at the time when I started finasteride kept encouraging me to fill my RX because she loved how randy it got me.
What brand are you using if you don't mind me asking?
Marauder Shields Im using “Keeps” Finasteride, and I’m using brand name Rogaine once a day before bed. Haven’t even seen the benefits on the finasteride yet, those true results take about a year. I also bought a .5 dermaroller; should be a trifecta. Good luck to you!
You can't decide the side effects before 1 year at least because it is a process that's happening in your body and don't expect any results before 1 year
@@samehemad1359 Plenty of people get results before one year and side effects do not just magically spring up after a year. The people who say they get sides after having been on it for years are experiencing problems from other issues that are likely lifestyle related and they just blame finasteride because they happen to be on it.
I use 0.5 fina eod couple of years now i have perfect hair no sites i work out 5 days i had my bloodwork done i do this every year my bloodwork is perfect only my dht is low and my free testosteron is on the high site

Hey Kevin, I just wanted to say thank u. You are the reason I felt ready to take finasteride, and even though I'm on second month now I can already see some big results. Thankfully I started finasteride while I still had hair but I could see they were thinning specially when they were wet( I was experiencing diffuse hair loss). Now after 2 months I feel my hair stronger and even when wet they are more dense than before.Didnt expected to see so early results ( I had an early shedding phase too, it started on week 2 and lasted 1-1,5 weeks).Can't wait to see more results in the Future. So a big thank u to u and your channel.
Thank you and that is fantastic to hear. Congrats!
Update?
@@GARR3TTST3W im still taking it and i ve kept my hair. I combined it with minoxidil for even better results. Only problem is the dry skin from minoxidil on the scalp.
Hey man, how many mg do you take a week?
Also you get people who argue that treating hair loss is time-consuming etc. It takes me 5 seconds to pop open and swallow a simple pill but shaving a head to get rid of balding hair and wiping up the stumble is even more time-consuming. Also, going through razors quicker is probably more expensive than subsidising a hair loss regimen. Crazy 😂🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the great video Kevin. It's due to videos like this that I have got over my fear of finasteride and I'm now taking it.
You Deserve million views/ subscribers ❤ Thank you Kevin I jumped on fin because of you … Real man Kevin
I have been on finasteride for 4 weeks. No side effects whatsoever.
Another member of the finasteride master race.
Hey Kevin! My scalp is constantly itchy and actually hurts as well as i lose tons of hair, I've been to 10+ doctors and no one knows whats going on nor do they see anything topically on my scalp. Any suggestions? Im in tons of pain from it everyday and losing hair doesnt help at all.
It sounds like you might have demodex folliculitis. It's actually somewhat common.
I'd try over the counter salicylic acid and if that doesn't work then talk to a dermatologist. Ask if they can take a skin sample from your scalp so they can examine it.
Just started my first week of finasteride along with minoxidil foam. So far so good. Credit goes to you for that Kevin, it's your videos that gave me the confidence to try this for myself. Funnily enough I was talking with my psychiatrist about it and now he's interested in trying it.
You say it straight. Nowadays men at the first sign of balding are hitting the shave it all off button. That's just ridiculous. Finasteride is effective and from the research I have done the side affect risk is low and similar to other medicine.
Please do more of these videos, this feel never gets old (LOL)
Been on fin for a month and gotten zero side effects don’t be scared to take the drug it’s really harmless to most people just give it a try
Mezmoh apparently the problem really starts when you took it long and go off.
Bcs dehydrotestosteron has many uses.
If you block it receptors of follow up products get very sensible and if dht comes back you experience a real shock.
Atleast thats what i heard from a german hormon treatment guy right now on youtube.
I want to take fin but hell that shit is scaring me.
Started thinking about it over one year ago...
Mezmoh i wouldnt even be surprised if it gets banned in germany soon as hair loss treatment
@@kloschuessel773 Can you link that german hormone treatment guy please?
*ᴥ* been 5 months.
Ill try to find it
*ᴥ* cant find it rn.
But, assuming you are german, if you search on youtube for post finasterid syndrom and treatment etc, you will find a few vids from doctors and this hormon guy.
But the reasoning from him was, i think, the receptors became sensitive bcs of the lack of dht and if you dont ease off especially and just go from like 20/30% of whats normal to 100% or sth thats a shock. Guess its like they always say about coffee and decreasing effect with increasing caffein consume.
Bcs of more receptors etc, just vice versa.
Another dude argued that apparently sometimes ppl have increased testosterone or thats even the norm. With fin i mean.
So when you ease off or just go cold turkey, which is really dumb anyway looking at it from all directions, you may end up with some temporary sides...
These permanent sides are probably not fin related at all. Cause it really makes no sense.
Its the nocebo and ppl just blaming a pill for all their mental and physical problems and in the us and even europe also financial interests of course.
I think ashton kutcher, who was on the more potent dutasteride(?)/avodart, talked about that. He apparently had lowered test for like half a year +, after quitting, and it went back up afterwards.
Preventative action is much better than trying to regain lost ground
Real life Patrick Bateman right here 👍
That unexpected Heihachi Mishima drop make me howl.
Been on finasteride about 6 months now...
only side effects I experienced was a little dizziness here and there randomly at the start like first week I did start with 1mg daily than cut it down after first week to .5 mg which I think is a perfect middle ground. First week also experienced slight wierd feeling in testicles balls like a soreness but faded fairly quickly.... honestly best decision I’ve made don’t let people discourage you from trying it.

I think baldness is something that negatively affects younger men far more than older men. I have tremendous sympathy for young men who lose their hair and if this drug helps their confidence then I say go for it. I’m still of the opinion that if you can live with being bald and shaving your hair off then I suggest doing that. You will be saving yourself a lot of hassle and heartache
Love this video I’m 19 and have just noticed I bit of thinning on my hairline so I started taking finasteride I then saw so many bass things about it and nearly stopped taking it but this video has helped me so much. I’m 2 weeks in with no side effects yet
Thanks King, its because of you I decided to start Finasteride, about a month in and no side effects
Welcome to the fin master race.
Hey Kevin, thoughts on taking 1mg 3 times a week, is it just as effective as taking it everyday? Thanks for your time.
Finasteride has a short half life, only a few hours but it outright kills DHT and it can take 48 to 72 hours before DHT returns to baseline levels so in theory it could be just as effective but I cannot say for certain.
No doubt though there are many people who use fin this way and it works well for them.
I have a friend who even uses it twice per week and it still works.
@@haircafekevin The half life of finasteride in the epithelial of the scalp is extremely long and takes 30 days to clear out so each time you take it you're practically topping up the previous. Therefore, although the blood serum half life is far shorter it really doesn't matter because there is still an accumulation in the scalp epithelial.
@@seanireland8963 I saw the Australian doctors on the Hair Loss Show on TH-cam state this, but wouldn't that mean you could get away with only taking 1 or 2 pills a month to get the same results? Taking fin every day would seem overkill if true and taking less would likely lead to less possible sides, but at the same time you might not be getting maximum results.
one problem with what you said about women not liking bald men is that if it was true how come balding is still around and still such a common trait? you'd think baldness would have been bred out of the gene pool...
The fact that you brought "The heihachi Mishima look" in this video made me like you even more 😂
Hey kevin, I've been on finasteride/dutasteride for about 6 months and my hair still seems to be receding more. Should I give it more time or try an additional treatment with it like ru? Thank you for your videos, you are like the hair loss guru of TH-cam to me lol.
Try androcur it works better.
The androcur comment is likely a troll comment, do not take androcur as it will make you hypogonadal. Its possible the test on your scalp is still causing some problems. Test is not as bad as DHT but it still does some damage to the hair and fin/dut don't do anything to lower testosterone. I would look into a topical anti-androgen like RU mixed with stemoxydine or alfatradiol for your research subject.
Ive taken finasteride for 6 months, and monxidil for 5 of them. results are great, no more thinning and even regained some hair. dont even need monoxidil anymore. everyone who experiences hair loss should try it. Kevin youre the man for this.
if you stop using minoxidil you will lose your minoxidil gains
from my research the finasteride will not retain hair regrown with minnoxodil
@@matthewlambrianou2516 yeah, i read the same but i have been off it for a month and my hair has remained full. However it was thinnest when i was most stressed so that could have played a factor. Not for everyone i was just pointing out how finasteride is the key to holding onto hair. lack of stress may help too. however minoxidil is a great product also.
Wait, Finastride/Proscar is used to treat prostate cancer. Why do people think it will cause it?
been following your content for some time now, best TH-camr on the subject hands down. thanks to you i have a great stack that i have been using and i am finally gaining my confidence back.
what about the role of dht on the brain with cognitive and emotional regulation?
Do you have any evidence to support this claim?
@@FidoeFTW I'm not exactly claiming it, I just remember reading studies about it. I am at work right now, but I believe I bookmarked the studies on my computer, so I can't post those links until later. But a quick Google search will probably be your best bet. I still take finasteride anyway but I do remember reading those studies/articles a while back.
Decreasing dht is not a good idea especially if u are a male
dht helps in sexual functions and alot of functions in the brain so if you decreased it you will more likely to get depressed
@@samehemad1359 Why not?
Show this to baldcafe
My hair transplant doctor would love to meet him!
I love how funny this man is and he’s not even trying. Thanks for giving me a laugh dude definitely needed it haven’t cracked up in a hot minute till now
Thank you for putting this info together in one video!
Your hair looks sick man! I just started fin week ago .. bit thin but not really bad,36,... if it doesnt thicken up in few months i'm off to India for tha grafts! Ha!
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again this guy is the best. Better than mattdominance better than hairlicicly i’m American I probably spelled that wrong LOL... THE BEST!!! Kev You’re going to get so many subs hands down bro
Thanks man! Love seeing your comments on my videos. Mentioned you in the video too...don't take it personally. ;)
Kevin Mann haha bro unfortunately that’s my real name I worked at Blockbuster in high school I got so much shit LOL
im so glad youtube recommended pointed me towards your channel. i
You just literally saved me 400 dollars, no joke.
Turning 19 tomorrow and want to start finasteride but worried that it will fuck up the last stages of my development. Beard development above all. I’d accept if it slowed my development as long as it didn’t halt my development completely (my dad is bald with a great beard and one day I’d like to have a beard like his). Anyone have any similar experience/advice it would be much appreciated:)
I'm 5'8, im so screwed if I go bald lol,. I've been on 1mg fin daily since late November and I've have no sides at all, except for the first 3 days.
what were your sides in those 3 days? I started..also 5'8 here btw xD
I started today.. and I can already feel my left nut is slightly sore.
@@RamblingRamul i'm 5'7 i can't go bald. i'm already pale. :(
@@RamblingRamul Yeah my balls were sore af,, my sperm was watery and weird, and my sex drive went down. For some reason after the first few days all the sides went away and now I feel no different than normal when I take my fin pill every morning.
@@latte-carnival9964 I'm starting using finasteride and I'm noticing the same effects, have you had shedding yet?
I've done tons of research on T and DHT before taking finasteride and I'm now on the drug because I found it's a safe drug. However, I'm still left with one question. What IS DHT responsible for in adult males, it seems very hard to find any information about that. My only guess is sexual function because we know about the sideeffects that some men get from finasteride but I'm not sure...
Souli DHT is an androgen(male sex hormone). However it is not the main androgen, the main androgen is testosterone. People who get side effects often have Low testosterone or high estrogen(female sex hormone),when you have Low testosterone your body depend on other androgens such as dht for sexual function. Most people have sufficient testosterone to support their sexual functions even without dht especially those in dutasteride which reduces dht by more than 90%.
Souli over for DHT-cels
I think even endocrinologist don't know for sure. It could play a small role in spermatogenesis as some people who use fin will have reduced sperm count but even that is a rare side effect so if it does play a role we likely only need very little DHT to maintain fertility.
I think men still producing so much DHT into adult hood is likely just an evolutionary accident much like wisdom teeth. Evolution is definitely not perfect.
Kevin Mann Reduced sperm count isn’t rare in finasteride usage, it’s common. Note that sperm count can only be measured in a fertility lab 🔬.
@@JamesFT Sperm count drop is negligible in most men, its not like fin could be used as birth control after all.
Iam 34 years old and started to see sudden smaller hear lose, last week i got Propecia1mg but was afraid to use it. Sav your chanel and listen to what you have to say. I agree with all comments that talk good about you. Long story short you gave me courage so i started 3 days ago. I also started to use derma roller (do you have any video about that?). Anyway dude your great and i'm staying just on your channel to not get misinformed. Stay great!
Thanks man. I have talked about derma rolling and to sum up my views I think it is a decent adjunct treatment for topicals to improve absorption but shouldn't be used as a stand alone treatment which is no problem because you are on fin.
@@haircafekevin Thanks for fast response, can i just ask if it would be good to also put some 5% minoxidil 24 h after derma rolling (0,5). Also is 1 treatment of dermarol per month good, or should it be more often ? I have stage 2 to early 3 with perfect vertex at 34 years. Again i am so grateful for your time and knowledge that you shared with me.
@@matjazpovalej4146 Yeah, that would be fine. I use dermarolling very intermittently as of now and honestly I don't find it helps enough to make a tremendous benefit so using it infrequently is probably fine.
@@haircafekevin yeah, just as i thought, moderacy is logical in most of cases with everything. Ty
I feel topical finastiride was okay and maintained hair. I decided to switch to finastiride 1mg Mon wed and Fri.
Kevin, is 1mg every other day as effective as 0.5 mg per day? Because the experts/doctors say that the medicine stays in the system for a fairly long duration to leave some gaps between FN medication.
Yeah, for sure. Fin actually has a short half life but it outright kills DHT and it takes a couple days to recover.
1 mg per day is the standard dosage but every other day and reduced daily dosages have been shown to suppress only a trivial amount less DHT.
@@haircafekevin I used 1mg/day for around 3 years and I started experiencing depression but no signs of loss of libido. Quit last September and witnessed excessive hair loss. Lost lot of hair strands at the temple area. Almost turned my front hair line into widow's peak.
Feb 2020 I got back on finasteride 1mg but EOD and minoxidil 5%. Signs of excess hair fall has reduced drastically and grown thicker surprisingly in a short amount of time. But going EOD this time in the hopes of not facing unnecessary depression again. That shit made me go in a spiralling path of negativity. Better go bald than jump off a bridge
@@haircafekevin thanks for the good work though. Gave me new found confidence in this regime
@@hoejackborseman1059 Yeah, I understand. I have had issues with depression myself and even if finasteride may cause depression hair loss is really friggin depressing.
Fin sides can easily be mitigated through just dose adjustments.
My doctor has even put patients on doses as small as 0.25 mg every other day and it works, including for people who get depression because of fin's affect on allopregnanolone.
The good news is injectable allopregnanolone will be available soon so even in people who get neurological sides there will be a remedy.
Be careful, depression is a bitch and good luck.
@@haircafekevin now that's news. Have a great day sir.
When people's take drug , smoking drinking, they won't scared of side effects but the I still don't understand why people got scared on finasteride even that drug give ur fuckin hair back hahahahaha
Exactly people scared of taking Finasteride will drink themselves to death on weekends, which is way worse and will significantly reduce liver function by 50-60% in their 50's, but hey fin bad alcohol good. Finasteride doesn't get you high that's why it's bad.
Been using Finasteride alongside maxi hair and nail vitamins for the last 5 months its actually having a good effect on my hair, my hair has actually recovered well and all it's been is another pill to add to my morning vitamin routine.
looking more young than usual in this video, good shit.
Thanks dude! I think the lighting helps.
Some men are so far gone they have to shave it no shame in that
That why you should not wait, and hesitate to fight hair loss.
@@pawelvg1 well unfortunately alot of these treatments were not available or even known about 15 years ago so once its gone its gone
@@aarondodson1261 but at least you have hair transplant, but each person must decide if hairs are so important for their life
@@pawelvg1 most people can't afford ten thousand dollar hair transplants
Baldcafe btfo
After 4 days of finasteride, biotin, V D, Zink and Keto, skin on my face looks BEST IN YEARS. Normally I was oily AF and after just 4 days it got so much better, literally like IT was photoshoped.
Jasiek 97 I experienced this as well, my acne started to clear within the first week. It’s almost as if I needed to take finasteride for better health lol to a certain extent.
I'm starting too
Praying I age like you
Damn,stumbled across your channel by coincidence,im almost 23,im not bald,but i have a big forehead probably bc my hariline is in a V shape and i have a little widows peak so idk(has always been like that,probably changed a bit when i turned 18 but still the same till now),but i have been on the verge of going to a dermatologist to start taking fin since i fear going bald early,and your channel gave me the encouragement to do it,i have a similar hairline to yours but my 4head is a little bigger,so if the doctor says im receding im gonna start taking finasteride right away,huge thanks man.
The easiest way to tell if you're receding is simply by looking at pictures of yourself from different times in your life. I didn't even realize I was until I did that earlier this year. It had happened slowly enough that I didn't notice for a little while.
Out of interest, do you consider your current treatment plan to have all but stopped your hair loss or do you envision having to get further transplant in the future? Also, are you using hair fibres in this video? I'm toying with the idea of getting a hair transplant and have looked to youtube for examples of post-transplant results but it is very difficult to know if guys are augmenting their results by using fibres.
In this particular video, no; although in some of my videos I am using some Derm match but its mostly bed head head which makes me look like I have more hair because it poofs it up.
My current treatment plan has completely stopped my hair loss. I occasionally still use topicals like stemoxydine, alfatradiol and RU on my research subject but the two I have always been completely consistent on are finasteride and minoxidil.
I love you man, you gave me the confidence to start with finasteride clearing many of my doubts.
Mate you're absolutely spot on with what you say in your videos, much respect. New sub here
Hi bro! Thanks for this video, really informative and encouraging. I took Finasteride 10 years ago (1mg/day) for almost a year and really saw great regrowth. Even stopping after a year, Propecia’s efficacy lingered for almost 2 years (at least in my case). Side effects? Pfft. None at all.
Now, I’d like to go back at 1mg, 3x a day. I’d like to know though how long have you been taking Finasteride? Are we good to take it for life? Did you lay off from it at certain times (for how long)? Hope to hear from ya and keep up the good work!
Thanks very much!
Great video man! Im 20 and about to hop on it but do you think i should get bloodwork done first? Also is generic finasteride just as effective? Im getting mine from lemonaid online.
Lastly is there a recommended dose to start off with or should I just go for 1mg/ everyday right off the bat?
Thanks and yeah getting blood work is always a good idea, have your estradiol checked in particular.
If it is high or you are just worried about sides then ask your doctor about starting on a reduced dosage.
Otherwise you can start on a standard dose as per your doctor's instructions.
You're a hero for advocating for animal rights, directly or indirectly. Great to know other people out there care. Keep it up bro!
Thanks man, its always been a huge issue for me any any kind of effective activism is a good thing.
“its like eating brains to get a better i.q.” that was hilarious!
Thanks for the information as always Kevin. I’d love to hear your thoughts on preventing greying. Finasteride has completely stopped and reversed hair loss for me with no sides. Now I’m almost 34 and have a few greys appearing and would like to slow this process down. Thanks in advance!
So any neews?)
Hi Kevin ! I was on Fin for over 12 years and stopped when I was 33. I am going back on this month because my hair has thinned out and is patch with no help from using minoxidil and derma rolling. My question to you is that will using fin just help keep what I have or is there a decent percentage that I will be able to see improvements in growth.
Kevin is the Greatest of all Time
Thank you for another video this one was great. I watched the entire thing and you are right about other people deterring finasteride use. I liked how you talked about prexisiting problems from negative result users! Thank you
