A user's decision to shave their head after experiencing hair loss since the age of 17, and discussion around the potential use of Fin for treating hair loss.

Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.

A 19-year-old tried oral minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss but experienced side effects like fatigue, dry eyes, and lack of motivation, leading to discontinuation. Suggestions included trying topical treatments, dutasteride, or accepting hair loss.

User experienced hair thinning after losing 100 lbs and started Dutasteride treatment. They faced side effects like fatigue, brain fog, and insomnia but no erectile dysfunction.

Finasteride is seen as risky for men due to side effects like erectile dysfunction, while hormonal birth control for women is normalized despite its side effects. The discussion points out a double standard influenced by societal and gender norms.
