My question is what does a typical JW or for that matter any other steroid hair loss look like? For example I have heard of individuals that juice and only experience hair loss or shedding only while they are on the juice or during PCT, they say the shedding/ hair loss goes away after a few weeks in some cases months. So I guess my question to you is, does shedding/hair loss only affect those predisposed to MPB or can it possibly affect anyone using these substances???
No, you have to get away from the MPB aspect. You are looking at it with tunnel vision. Males have DHT build-up in the scalp as a result of our hormonal human nature. The only thing that having a genetic desposition will do is increase the likelihood of becoming bald.
If you think of it this way:
If you only buy (1) lottery ticket, does this mean it is impossible to win the lottery ? No, but just less of a chance vs. some dude who bought (9,999,999) lottery tickets.
That's all it is, is just chance.
Science seems to indicate that DHT build up occurs heavily in the frontal center portion of men's scalps. This is why men have that skirt crown of hair around the edges, but thinning and baldness in the front/center of their scalps.
As stated before, the DHT chokes out the hair folicles slowly, not the actual hair root that is connected within the folicles. The scalp isn't the only other area that is problematic with excess DHT. The prostate is also notorious for this as well.
I'm not really sure why you are losing hair, or what specifically is causing it. Not being prone to it, dosen't mean that it won't happen, there is just less likelihood that it will. Adding/Using androgenic substances will exacerbate this.
I'm not sure what steroid induced baldness looks like as I don't use steroids for many reasons, this issue being one.
Last time I used Furazadrol by Axis Labs my blood pressure sky rocketed, I had nose bleeds, and started shedding hair after about 1 week of using it. Never again. Furazadrol was also 5 alpha reduced as well.
I find it hilarious how ppl want to take heavily androgenic compounds and get this ego trip over their 'alpha male mentality'. I am probably the only one, but I'll skip on the ego trip on account for less health complications.
The perfect substance would be something that was 100% anabolic and 0% androgenic (for me).
