Castor oil is being considered for hair thinning, with some users noting it may prevent hair breakage but not affect DHT-related hair loss. Some users report mixed results, with one mentioning increased body hair growth from oral consumption.
Some men look better with shaved heads due to facial features and low bodyfat, while others believe a perfect hairline enhances attractiveness. Treatments like finasteride might be used to maintain a perfect hairline.
Finasteride has no effect on the user's estradiol levels, and bodyfat may influence aromatization. The user is on testosterone replacement therapy and uses everyday injections to manage high RBC count, with plans to measure DHT, DHEA-S, and pregnenolone levels.
A user reversed severe hair loss with dieting, lifestyle changes, and topical minoxidil, highlighting reduced inflammation and bodyfat. The conversation debates finasteride's effectiveness and the impact of diet and lifestyle on hair health.
Finasteride can cause side effects like erectile dysfunction and decreased libido, possibly due to increased estradiol from testosterone aromatization, especially in those with higher bodyfat. Side effects vary widely and may also be influenced by genetic factors or neurosteroid inhibition.
