The norwood reaper started to fuck with me at 16yo, i'm currently in my early 20s and still have a NW1 head of thick hair. The secret is to start treating it as soon as possible, there is currently a decent arsenal of meds to treat AAG and keep the norwood reaper at bay, i started with 14-alpha-estradiol, 1 year later i switched to minoxidil 5% and now i use minoxidil 5% twice a day and finasteride 1mg every day, if my hair starts to fall again i will start using 0.1% finasteride on my minoxidil, and i still have a shit ton of drugs to play with (Topical caffeine, ketoconazole shampoo, topical melatonin, topical flutamide, topical RU, etc...) and i will probably still have my full head of hair 'till the day i die.
"Ohh but anon, finasteride gives you ED and lowers your libido"
Well, ain't that good then? If you're on the lucky 1% that gets lower libido, it will only make your life easier! Besides, you're only going to get side effects if you don't take care of yourself, if you're a healthy individual with healthy habits, you won't feel any difference tbh.
"But anon, it's over for me, why do i have to keep my hair if i am not fucking anyone?"
Well, if you lose your hair, people will treat you even worse, so good luck with that. So, if the norwood reaper starts fucking with you, start treating that shit ASAP.
