Forslean is an anabolic (should not affect hair), as well as a fat burner.

See information below (extract from Drive Technical Write-Up, explaining properties of Forslean):

...forskolin (7 beta-acetoxy-8, 13-epoxy-1 alpha,6 beta, 9 alpha-trihydroxy-labd-14-ene-11-one) ...phytochemical (plant-derived) compounds have some SERM-like (selective estrogen receptor modulator) and also demonstrate SARM-like (selective androgen receptor modulating) properties, providing pronounced benefits on muscle mass, strength, bone, physical DRIVE and sexual function...

Forskolin has been the subject of large amounts of research in the health and wellness field since the early 1980s. Scientific studies have found that along with increasing thyroid activity and thermogenesis, forskolin is also a potent anabolic. This occurs primarily through elevation of 3,5 cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP); a second messenger important in hormone signaling. cAMP elevation is a crucial piece of the puzzle in creating an anabolic and thermogenic state, and forskolin is one of the best compounds available for triggering dramatic increases in cAMP levels. One study (Bristow et al, 1984) showed that forskolin was able to increase cAMP levels 4.82 times more than a placebo. Another study (Litosch, 1982) demonstrates that forskolin can raise cAMP levels in fat cells. This is important because it demonstrates the ability of the compound to enhance lipolysis; meaning that forskolin exerts powerful fat-burning effects as well as being a potent anabolic agent; plus forskolin can also enhance endurance capacity as well. Another added bonus of forskolin is that it increases cAMP independently of epinephrine, thus providing increased energy without the need to take any type of traditional stimulant.

Forslean's most sought after property is its influence on cAMP levels (as Guesjn showed. Hi Rosie!). Test boosters and hair loss is more from more test being available and going the path of DHT and binding to the scalp. You can still use a test booster if you're worried about MPB, but if you're predisposed you can keep on hand Nizoril shampoo (1% available from retailers, 2% by prescription), Rogaine, or Propecia/Proscar (prescription) for use if you do notice shedding.
