Hair Loss with AAS Use
Let's start with this: find out why hair tends to "give in" and fall out during a "cycle". In the second part of the article, I will offer you some recipes that may help not only stop hair loss but possibly even reverse the balding process.
The disappearance of hair on the head and the abundant growth of body hair among active "chemists" is usually caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
It is important to remember that some anabolic steroids can directly convert into DHT (actually only testosterone and methyltestosterone), while others merely mimic the action of DHT (drostanolone, trenbolone, methandrostenolone – yes, even that one, especially in the skin of the scalp and body).
This information will be useful later on, but for now, note that considering the increase in DHT levels in the scalp as the sole cause of baldness is definitely not accurate: one of the main reasons for hair loss should be considered genetic predisposition.
If you have, so to speak, "bad genetics" in this regard, then a cycle including androgens will certainly exacerbate your situation, but you would start losing hair sooner or later even without them. But even that's not all: chronic stress can also trigger hair loss on the scalp.
It's worth recalling that overtraining is precisely such a type of stress, and thus, "overtrain" can lead to baldness among other "delights".
Furthermore, hypertension, anemia, arthritis, and thyroid diseases can also trigger baldness. So, without treating these conditions, stopping hair loss will not be possible.
Solving the Balding Problem
We've listed the causes of baldness, now let's move to finding a solution to the problem of baldness associated with the use of anabolic steroids.
Assuming we have rid ourselves of the ailments I listed in the first part of the article, and we genetically have no predisposition to hair loss.
Most often for balding, one of the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors is recommended: finasteride ("Proscar") or dutasteride ("Avodart"). Both agents can be used even during a "cycle". However, they will only help if you are using testosterone or methyltestosterone.
If you choose trenbolone, drostanolone, or any other anabolic steroid with pronounced androgenic activity, finasteride and dutasteride will simply be ineffective – they cannot save your hair.
Ah, yes, I forgot to warn you: both drugs have a very negative effect on libido, and they can also provoke the development of gynecomastia.
What else can you do? Firstly, simply not use drugs with pronounced androgenic activity. Practically, our choices are quite limited:
- "Primobolan" optimal option
- Nandrolone
- Boldenone
- Clostebol
- Masteron
- Oxymetholone small doses
- Stanozolol
The problem here is that if you only take drugs without androgenic activity, you risk, while preserving hair, losing libido just as you would when using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
Therefore, it's better to simply reduce the doses of androgenic drugs and include one of three agents in your "cycle": andarine (S4 – the most effective), ostarine (MK-2866), or growth hormone.
The first two – selective androgen receptor modulators, both can not only stop hair loss caused by the use of androgenic drugs but even restore hair coverage.
As for growth hormone, it can accelerate hair growth and make them more resistant to damage. And you need very little of it for this purpose – no more than 1.5-2 IU daily.
