Thank you for current info and would like to learn more from any other post you might have time for.
I am 34 and I have trained for 10 +years numerous cycles.
My fav. primo,EQ,Test,Fina,Deca. No problem with hair loss until recently noticed hair thinning in the front. I have thought of using DHT blockers but I am still a little confused on which is best. I do not want to make myself need to take treatments if I really don't need them.

If you're 34 and just noticing some mild hair loss, even after all hte cycling, I'd get on finasteride now. Side effects are very low, despite rumors to the contrary, and you may be able to halt or slow further loss.
I'll get into this in detail in my Hair Loss series.

buffdoc...Thanks for taking the time out to post such a great thread. My question for you is, can diet or thyroid related telogon effluviums result in your hair becoming thinner. I done many searches and MOST talk about a rapid shed but not thinning.

I dieted down for a photo shoot and lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks, plus took eq/winny/and t3. 3 months later my hair becaome very thin on top but I didn't shed at all. I've done plenty of cycles in the past, including winny, and never expierienced thinning before from anobolics. So that's my question... can a TE cause rapid thinning, or is thinning only the result of MPB.


THANKS!

Well, it's possible to shed and not know it (hair comes out in shower, in bed, etc, and we may be unaware).
Remember, thinning is the appearance of more light penetrating to the scalp. It's all about how much light or blocked or transmitted. Extreme dieting is a common cause of telogen effluvium. Same with thyroid conditions (hyper or hypo), you may have induced a hyperthyroid state, which together w/ the rapid wt loss, lead to a TE. Also, when hairs go into the telogen state, they may not fall out immediately. They may gradually come out w/ washing/combing, OR be pushed out as the anagen hair begins its growth.
On the other hand, (read my 2 posts on hair loss from today), MPB can occur in fits and starts, gradually or suddenly. My guess is you experienced TE.
