With all the lovely discussion brought on by BigV that provides information that includes the causes, the process, and remedies - I feel that more attention needs to be given to this topic in regards to the relatively new pro-hormones or designer steroids that have hit the market. Unfortunately for us, unlike true anabolic steroids that has been trialed and tested for years, it is sometimes very difficult to predict the behavior of these compounds.

Hair Loss Prevention thread
Just recently I embarked on a phera + halo cycle that I initially planned on running for 6 weeks. I stopped that cycle, today as a matter of fact (after 1 week). The androgenic side effects brought on by phera are extremely fast acting and if one is left unprepared (as I was) it can leave you with some unexpected negative side effects in reference to your hair. My hair started to thin out at an accelerated pace and my hairlines was hit as well. Now, I thought I was prepared (Minoxidil, Spiro, and Nizoral) but evidently it is not enough to stop high DHT at a systematic level as well as at the scalp level. As you guys may know, it is many mens’ genes to be susceptible to abnormally high DHT levels causing MPB (or at least that’s the laymen’s version of it). What happens while ON, especially with some androgenic heavy compounds such as test, a lot of hair loss can occur. Of course we can not totally eliminate DHT levels, I don’t even think we’d want to, but they need to be in check.
I thought I was prepared and wasn't expecting such effects as I read a lot of feedback and this hasn't been a very noted side effect that many users have experienced. IMO it is essential for one to be fully prepared with the proper ancillaries to lower DHT levels both systematically and at the scalp. (Refer to the above links for different stages of MPB treatment).
So basically, I stopped my cycle to get all of this in check because at the age of 22 it is a little early to be losing my hair. Remember guys, CONSISTENCY IS KEY, when it comes to this treatment. [highlight]BigV (and thank you for your help with all of this[/highlight]) did an exception job at exemplifying this with his experience. He shared that he began to make wonderful progress and got to a point where he was pleased with his progression, so he slacked on his treatment. What happened? That’s right, accelerated hair loss occurred. Please keep this in mind.
What does all of this mean?
Well, many things and many of them I don't about. But if it's one thing that is for sure is that many aspects of these compounds are unknown and before starting to use these compounds one must consider all aspects associated. [highlight]For the purpose of this thread, hair shedding should be heavily considered when considering Designers, mainly for those that are genetically predisposed to it. [/highlight]
So, let's get some feedback on what you guys have experienced as far as these new designer's are concerned and the hairline.
I'll start :
Phera @ 20mg ED experienced considerable hair shedding and hair-line receding.
Superdrol @ 20mg ED + TRN 4mg ED: Experienced shedding and effects at the hair line but nothing as bad as phera. The thing about this is that I thought it was the SD when in fact it was most likely the m-trn as that’s more of an androgenic compound or at least we thinks its supposed to be.
I would think that Ergo and M-TST have great potential for hitting the hairline quite hard.
Thanks for sharing.
P.S. Don't tell me to shave it all off. Some bros can pull it off but I have huge ears and a big ass head...quite frankly I'd look ridiculous and my wife would hate it.
