Big but not bald!

Q: Which steroids lead to hair loss and which don't? Could you recommend a few stacks for those of us who have funny shaped heads and would look dumb bald?

A: Testosterone can lead to hair loss simply because it can reduce via the enzyme 5-alpha reductase to dihydroxytestosterone, or DHT. Of course, there are other androgens that don't reduce but still cause androgenic alopecia (hair loss). One in particular would be trenbolone. I — along with a few acquaintances — have experienced quite a bit of hair loss with this particular androgen. The strange thing is that we don't experience the same thing when using Testosterone, although most people do. Weird.

Aside from that, methandrostenolone (D-bol) is something you may want to stay away from. Also, some people claim stanozolol (Winstrol) can cause alopecia although I haven't found this to be the case.

So, essentially, what you're left with is methenolone (acetate or enanthate), oxandrolone, boldenone, and nandrolone. If you use finasteride (Propecia or Proscar), Testosterone can become a fairly safe androgen in terms of not causing thinning hair.

And before anyone asks, no, you shouldn't use finasteride with any androgen other than Testosterone as it won't help. In the case of nandrolone, it may make things much worse.

The only thing that kills my hair is winstroll.
Nothing else seems to do it as bad as winny.

He forgot to mention the protective effects of Topical Spironolactone. Topical Spironolactone will work with dbol, winny, fina, anadrol, test, etc.

Or the sticky on androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness).

And Nelson Montana thinks we don't need a sticky on hair loss!! LOL.

What do you mean it fell out for 5 years? After cycle?

IMO, Tren just kills your hairline.

For those using Finasteride with test, do you notice a much tamer sex drive than with just test alone? People don't appreciate the significance of DHT to the male organ and sex drive. Instead of using finasteride, a proven topical like azelaic acid makes a lot more sense. Finasteride was discovered from a chemical found in South America where they couldn't distinguish 12 year old boys from 12 year old girls amongst the indigenous tribe. DHT is essential to growth of the penis in adolescents and children. So, when they say that sexual side-effects are rare with Propecia (a lower dose of Finasteride), they are probably miseading a lot of people. I love the sex drive I have on testosterone. Again, the question is, from people who have used test alone AND, at other times, test with Finasteride, did you notice a much tamer sex drive with the Finasteride than without?
