Do you think its likely I will lose some hair? 25 January 2012 19:50 (permalink)
Hi Guys,
 
I'm 26 years old and I have been training for 7 years and believe the time has come for my first cycle. I am considering the standard Test E 500mg PW 10/12 week cycle with all the correct meds (HCG at 250IU 2x week, a PCT consisting of Nolva and/or clomid etc). I would just like to point out that I am not interested in using alternative steroids that are less likely to cause hairloss such as deca/eq/primo/anavar as I have heard so many good things about Test and have settled on the idea of it being my first cycle.
 
My grandard on my mums side completely lost his hair at 20, and so did another man on that side as well as my brother losing all of his also at around the age of 20.On my dads side his hair and my uncle both have a thick full head of hair at their age of around 50.
 
I have also always had really thick hair but since around the age of 19 I have had what I believe to be a receeding hairline that has slowly gotten higher and higher however there is no thinning on the crown whereas my brother has severe thinning on his hairline and crown.
 
I have attached two pictures so you can get an idea of what im dealing with.
 
Questions
 
1. Is there a good chance I will shed some hair?
 
2. If I lose some hair will it be a small amount or loads?
 
3. If I stop my course will it revert back? Or will hairloss continue even my body has reached homeostasis?
 
4. Is it worth me investing in hair saving meds that block DHT such as (proscar, fina, nizoral etc) or are these products ineffective and is it a case of if your going to lose it your going to lose it!
 
Thanks for your time peeps

    1 - I would say there is a chance of shedding due to the depth of the side recedes.
    2 - Probably not a lot
    3 - It won't regrow. Upon cessation, your hair will recede/thin at the rate which is normal for you  ie pre-steroid rate. Whilst using steroids, the rate of loss is increased (in those prone to MPB)
    4 - Probably not

      Good old PartyBoy, as informative as ever, thankyou
       
      I think my main concern was the hairloss continuing at the rate during use of steroids well after cessation. thanks for clearing that up for me.

        You won't even notice it aside from maybe a few more hairs when rinsing out the bath. You certainly won't notice any difference on your head from one cycle. It's surprising just how much hair you would need to shed before you look in a mirror and think "Jesus, it's thinner than it was"
