Steroids & Hair Loss
When talking about hairloss the first point to be remembered is that
every individual will be effected in different ways to different steroids. The
most important factor is whether or not you are genetically predisposed to male
pattern baldness. This can be done by following the family history in the older
male generation in your direct family. If you are not predisposed naturally you
have the potential of not being effected by steroids, if you are then you are
not so lucky and the use of steroids is likely to speed up the process of
becoming bald.
Even if you are predisposed there are allot of precautions that can be taken
when using steroids to slow down or prevent the hair from falling out. These
will be talked about below in general and with specific steroids. Remember
certain treatments may be effective with some steroids but may actually speed up
the loss when combined with others.
If you are worried about losing hair when cycling it is better to stack items
that you know are safe and not to go overboard. It will be difficult to
anticipate which steroid is causing the hair loss when using numerous steroids
or using ones that haven't been used before.
How do you know when you are losing hair? There are several ways to monitor
hairloss and when it is starting. Firstly when you wake up examine the sheets
and the pillows and determine whether or not there is excess hair there. Also
when taking a shower or a bath monitor your hair going down the drain. Another
dead give away is an itchiness of the head which can be quite irritating.
There are so many questions asking if primo or deca or anavar will cause
hairloss. These questions are pointless in the sense that while primo may be ok
for 70 or 80% of the people in can cause devastating consequences in the fewer
who may not have the problem on testosterone. It is also dependent on the dose
but for sure if higher doses are causing hairloss then so are smaller doses but
just not as rapid.
Testosterone: The King of All
Unfortunately this King has known to bring rapid hairloss in large numbers of
individuals. The good thing is that hairloss can be controlled very effectively
when using finasteride (propecia, proscar). Finasteride inhibits the 5AR enzyme
which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT. For this reason
finasteride will work when used with steroids that convert to dht via the 5AR
enzyme. On to dHT, in a nut shell it is both hard on the hair as well as to the
prostate. Saw Palmetto (SP) is another good prostate relief as well as being
very cheap and is also said to reduce dht conversion from testosterone. On
precaution if predisposed it is not wise to mix nandrolone with testosterone.
Deca: Hmmmmm
What can be said about this steroid. There is so much misconception that deca is
the safest steroid, both on the hair and on the body. Let the myths lie.
Although deca does not convert to DHT it does converts to DHN. DHN is less
androgenic than deca. The more androgenic the more likely to cause hairloss but
this is somewhat a generalization as androgenic activity is not the only
influence of hair loss. Proscar and deca do not mix well. The reason for this
was touched upon above "For this reason finastride will work when used with
steroids that convert to dht via the 5AR enzyme." Now if the conversion of
nandrolone to DHN is prevented then there is more active nandrolone (which is by
far more androgenic than nandrolone. If you are noticing hairloss when on deca
it is best to discontinue use.
Spironolactone or flutamide (applied topically) are effective in treating and
limiting some damage on the hairline. They are both said to compete with the
steroid used for androgen receptors located in the scalp.
DHT Derivatives
Winstrol does not convert to DHT although it is a DHT derivative, this is also
the case with Primobolan. To Finasteride or not to Finasteride? Well I mentioned
above that Finasteride will only work to prevent the conversion of DHT by the
5AR enzyme. It wont do much to reduce hair loss on these because they are
already a DHT derivatives. The hairloss is much to do with it stimulating the
androgen receptors in the scalp. The best way to treat hair problems on these
steroids are with Spironolactone or flutamide. Nizorol shampoo (or similar) is
also good to some extent. Don't be fooled by either winstrol or primo. They can
both be quite harsh on the hair.
Lastly there are certain topical solutions that can be used to try and bring
about regrowth of hair.
