A few months ago i noticed my crown area was getting a little light. I was afraid i was gonna have to leave wave/beard gang and join bald/beard gang. That was until my fam told me about fin and min. Im nearly 3 months in and my crown is almost fully restored. No side effects or anything. Just wanted to put that out there incase some of yall dont know already. Hope is out there

Minoxidil had my heart racing and beating weird so it gave me side effects. I copped a 6 month supply too so I was mad I wasted that money.

I ain't trying to take anything for life to keep my hair anyways so unless I get a transplant, I'm about to be rocking the baldie by next year.

finasteride​


Is keeping your hair worth the the small chance of permanent erectile dysfunction?

The box said it can cause heart palpitations for some people.

"Chest pain warning: Minoxidil can increase your heart rate and cause or worsen chest pain. Doctors usually prescribe a beta-adrenergic blocking drug with minoxidil to avoid this. If you have new or worsening pain in the chest, arm, or shoulders, tell your doctor right away."

I ain't taking no beta-adrenergic blocking drug just to fill in my hair line so I got off it after 2 weeks. You may be fine tho.

how do yall mask the taste of the minoxidil? read online about taking it with orange juice, but it doesn't work good enough.

Be careful with that stuff :whoa:. While it can absolutely be helpful, there are some serious risks. One of my friends went on fin since his hairline was receding hard (at 21), but he had no results from it. He went to his dermatologist for something stronger and it ended up destroying his testosterone levels and literally giving him breasts.

shyt affects everyone differently and you're the lucky few that doesn't experience any side effects and you respond extremely well to the treatment. Some people get really fukked up on finasteride so it's not always a good option for everyone.

Also sometimes it's better to let nature take it's course on certain things. If you not getting paid for your looks it doesn't really matter if you go bald. Although I'd understand if you like 18 and going bald bc that shyt hurts way more than balding in your 30s.
