Losing My Hair! Testosterone and Hair Loss

[@sanvitrehan25]

Shielding my hair from sun heat, using scalp massager as well as using litttllextra cocoonionn shampoo with hair oil have now played important roles in managing my hair fall. It is just 4 more months now and my hair fall is reduced by over 80 percent.

[@Urvashisinghal54]

I recently tried this Cocooonionn Hairfall Control Shampoo. My hair is feeling healthier and I don’t see any more hair all around my place now. It’s sulfate-free but it foams up nicely, requiring only a small amount and it cleans your scalp thoroughly. It smells pleasant while providing a healthy shine. Highly recommended for anyone seeking hair fall control.

[@JescaHoogendijk]

I'm a 23yo trans woman and before starting HRT my hair line had started moving back. Thankfully it moved back forward after starting HRT at 22. It was interesting to hear the experience from people going the other way! I think your hairline really suits you btw!

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Thank you so much for that lovely compliment! I love my hairline too really, its just a bit of a shock to see how much it has suddenly thinned! It is so interesting to compare our journeys!

[@j0nnyism]

Getting that masculine hairline doesn’t mean u will go bald so don’t panic

[@andrijaantonijevic8097]

Thanks so much for this video! I've experienced some severe hair loss and thinning in the past 6 months and it's been kicking my arse mentally. I really needed to hear this, it honestly made my day, especially because I share all the thoughts about hair loss at an adult age (I'm 30) that you've perfectly put into words.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Im so glad the video helped. Yes, it is really tough, Im pretty sure I will have a sun roof in a year.....but its what happens to most guys....and so I am OK with that!

[@vondieerde]

Damn, this video really helped me. I'm 24, 4 months on T and never happier. I never thought that overall mood and behavioural happiness was possible. I've never felt more "right" in my life before. But I am overly worried about losing my hair. I was like you, my hair has been outrageously thick since childhood, I've got so many compliments about it. This combined with being from a family of mostly women, and so I've started to associate hair with beauty. Thick, "perfect" hair is so overly valued by Hollywood and the media, it distorts perceptions of typical natural beauty, for both men AND women. Of course balding is more of a problem for men because of that whole DHT thing, but still. As soon as I started T I felt textural differences in my head hair, which made me freak out about turning "ugly". I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I even started to consider getting off testosterone despite waiting for it since I came out at 16. I plan on getting a 23 and Me Health kit for a few reasons-- my mother is adopted so we don't know the genetic health risks on her side of the family, and I'm unsure if I have the bald spot / premature thinning genes. Knowledge is power, etc etc. A lot of trans guys I've seen have started Finasteride and got results as you described (no thanks!). I've also heard Minox/Rogaine works to retain hair AND grow beards without crazy hormonal issues, so at the most I'm going to try that on my head and facial hair until I can grow out a proper beard and then let my head hair do whatever the hell it's gonna do naturally (or maybe even just shave my head and be done with it!). This was the first bit of advice that really helped me embrace the idea of this being a "male" thing that all guys deal with, and even made me smile and understand how affirming all this is. You told the truth without hiding from it. I'm honestly more excited to see where my hair goes from here. Thank you so much.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

My dear friend, thank you for sharing your experience so openly, I can relate to all of this! As socialised as female, we are hit harder with expectations I think, of what we 'should' look like. I loved my hair, and when it drastically thinned, it really upset me, but gradually, I have come to see it as yet another affirmation of who I am, a man, who like most others, experience hair loss! Of course we should feel free to try products to help us keep what we have, but ultimately it is about accepting that it is OK, hair or no heair, we are damn fine men!

[@KimSol90]

Thank you for an honest video about this topic. Next year in February I've been on t for 5 years and I am losing hair on top of my head. I wasn't really too worried about it in the start bc I had super thick and wavy hair . I went to my hairdresser (probably 2 year or so ) It was my hairdresser who asked me if I had lost a lot of hair lately, she told me my hair was thin. And that's when it really hit me, bc first I thought it was probably my imagination. It's hard to accept. Ever since childhood people used to say how gorgeous my hair was. Now it's pretty much lifeless...on the top at least.. I can see the scalp which is terrifying....and sad. I miss my hair lol The only place my hair still is super thick and wavy is in the back . BUT if I had to choose ..... I would still choose testosterone.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Thanks fr sharing with me, and for watching. Yes, it is hard to accept and its absolutely OK to be sad about it, and to want to do something about it, but ultimately it is about acceptance isnt it? We are men, and this is what commonly happens to men!

[@smkardasz]

I’m 29 and 2 years on T.. my hair is already thinning so fast and my hair line has receded so aggressively just in the last six months. It freaks me out so much. Thanks for talking about this. Just watching this made me feel better about it.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Glad to help my friend, its all part of being a man, but that doesnt mean we cant spend some time grieving our hairloss, before accepting there might be litttle we can do. I have actually started using a preventative shampoo, and have seen a little bit of difference. I shall link to the video about that here if it helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIWufmdmg9Orrs0

[@joecena6393]

You can take dht blockers that will prevent hair loss. It won’t reverse it but it’ll prevent the loss of hair when starting TRT.

[@albedougnut]

From what I have seen, I believe it can slightly reverse it, especially if the balding is recent (usually under 40), though not by a dramatic amount. Though a lot of guys have success with DHT blockers in preventing MPB.

[@Nickster7]

Hey Fin, I'm 33 and have pattern baldness in my family. However, I've been on treatment called Finasteride for the past 8 years. There are also similar products called ProCar/Finpecia. I'm probably baldning now at a 10% rate than what I should have. I've had no side - effects as yet and enjoying good health. It's an option to explore but please do consult your doctor first. Thanks for a great video!!

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Excellent! Pleased for you my friend! Thanks for adding that!

[@jessi_starr]

I think the grey sides you have are super hot look! I've always liked that look on men. My hair has always been thin and baby fine and now the hairline has changed so much that I no longer have a widow's peak I loved that bit of my hair but I'm not too worried about losing it. It'll happen at some point and I'll just start shaving it down to the skin. Now that my facial hair is really starting to be noticeable, I can shave my head and not feel too dysphoric about not passing.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I love that! And thank you 😘. I will just shave mine too, when it come to it!

[@hunterking4045]

There's a ftm on KZbin who has an awesome hairpiece due to him losing all of hair. He's on my fb as well. I'll ask him if I can share his info.

[@eliasklein9311]

I started to lose my hair at one year on T when I was around 20-21, but I actually didn't mind it that much because it made me look older. I like my receding hairline because it makes me look very masculine :) But stuff you can do is hair transplants? I heard they're very expensive but they work I guess. Also minoxidil should work too, but I haven't tried any of that since I don't mind it xD Having to wear a hat out in the sun to avoid sunburn is a new experience though lol

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Yes, l didnt mention hair transplants but yes, it's an option. There are products which guys have had success with, like the one you mention. If it slows the thinning down then that's great! I really just cant be bothered, lm really starting to like this older,grey, thinning haired me!

[@Moosh207]

I think your hair looks gorgeous, Finn Finn. Even with you saying your hair has thinned out, looking from the outside I haven't noticed, and it still looks really nice. I like the way you style it too, it really suits you. I don't think you have much to worry about, it looks great. Also, does your new necklace have a meaning?

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Ah thanks lovely! I like it too and if it gets thinner, so be it!! And the necklace is a piece of volcanic rock from Fuerteventura! I wanted to replace my triskell but not found one. I'm likely to get one tattooed on me instead 😊

[@cameronjosephvideos5942]

You know what sucks more. Going bald as a trans woman before transitioning. After a certain point not even a hair transplant can save it.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I can only begin to imagine how hard that must be. The good thing, is that now there are so e incredible wigs which look so much more realistic than they once did. I know it's not the same, but in this transition of ours we have to accept what we cant change and find ways around it.

[@Goodmorning1221-]

What seems crazy is that FTM balding seems to happen pretty quickly compared to most of regular men. How long after you started T, you started to see thinning ?

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I was about 5 years n t and 46 when I started thinning, but I do also have hypothyroidism, which doesnt help! Older trans males often lose hair quicker as we go straight from puberty to middle age!

[@jackcombs8273]

From looking at my family tree everyone had their hair until they died but I'm only 19 and going bald. I don't have a problem with my hairline since it's so masc but the top of my head worries me. I'm thinking about trying minoxidil like Rogaine because of it. I know I signed up for this but the fact I'm so young just makes it hit so much harder.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I completely understand. Its important to remember that many men who lose their hair feel upset, and thats absolutely OK. We are allowed to feel sad about our appearance changing beyond our control. Do try some products, many people have a lot of luck with them. I recently tried a DHT blocker shampoo and it has actually made a fair bit of difference.

Hairloss is an unfortunate side effect of getting older and of being male. Its not my fault!

[@SkyeID]

My ex-boyfriend, a trans man, used Minoxodil to grow a beard. He was impatient about the changes being too slow on T, so he took the quicker route. It worked really well, but I have no idea if it works to permanently re-grow hair

[@Trickyrickwales]

I have no doubt that I’ll start loosing my hair eventually. 7months on T so far I’ve not noticed any changes on the top of my head. But my Dad did have hair implants done in his 30’s (I’m 29) which I’ve decided I’ll do the same. You could never tell my Dad had implants and he was so happy with them 😁

[@rl7012]

Losing your hair IS a side effect of the testosterone. Granted family genes influence whether you will lose the hair or not, but if you didn't take testosterone you would still have your hair. So taking testosterone does cause balding in many trans men who have balding males in their family. - FACT.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I know. Watch my video and read my answer because you are missing my point! I'm male and so there was never any option for me than to take testosterone, because my body doesn't produce it on its own. So the fact that testosterone causes baldness was never an issue for me because like for any man, it pretty much cannot be avoided as it's a side effect of being male!

[@rl7012]

You can't say that you are male and had no option but to take T. You were born female, and you chose to transition to male. That was your choice. You had choices. Some trans men do not take T, but you chose to. . You had a choice. You chose to take powerful male hormones and that is why you have lost a lot of your hair. Telling viewers that it is 'being male' and not the testosterone taken that causes baldness is just plain wrong. Trans men who lose their hair do so solely because of taking the testosterone.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

@@rl7012 again you have not listened properly or taken the point of my video.

[@sun1one1]

I'm a few years younger than you and I have a huge bald spot. Small price to pay for transitioning if you ask me. I kind of laughed when they told me I might go bald - I'm in the wrong freaking body and you expect me to be worried about hair? lol. Bandanas are the best solution -there's a reason why pirates wore them.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Yes yes yes! Exactly this, I dont care about studies, about if trans folk or more or less likely to go bald,. Nothing in the world would have put me off transitioning, how could it? I was a man, l needed testosterone or my body would forever be at odds with me. I'm very happy to leave nature to do what it will. The joy of being me if far greater then the sadness for lost hair!! I dont quite rock a bandana.....but a hat works.

I don't understand why some guys get sad about balding, we are men and should get over it 👊🏼

[@robinlea175]

Finn I like you and I love the message in the second half of the video, but there's some things here that are a bit misleading. For a start, DHT is a breakdown product of testosterone, so yes, whilst the type doesn't make a difference, it is the testosterone that causes balding, indirectly. Secondly, trans men are actually more likely to go bald than cis men, it's thought that the balding is carried on the X chromosome which is why men are told to look at their mother's side to see if they will go bald. Thirdly, there's actually loads of evidence behind DHT blockers and the side effects are much less relevant to trans men than cis men in terms of health. Lastly, there's other options that can help slow down balding like minoxidil and using dermarollers, sure they don't always work and they don't work forever, but there is evidence behind them. I relate a lot, I'm mid 20s and I'm rapidly losing my hair. It's nice to see you talking about accepting it and it's something that I wish more guys would talk about, cis or trans, but I do think some of what you said was wrong.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Thanksmy friend. Yes, this is what l mean,its an indirect affect, in that transitioning in itself doesnt cause hair loss, being a man and having a body which runs on testosterone does. Perhaps l wasnt clear but l was meaning that it seems some folks think its their particular brand of testosterone, rather than the testosterone itself. As for us being more likely to lose our hair, there is very little evidence to suggest we are more or less.likely to go bald, but we are guaranteed, like all men to at least experience the thinning of our hair. Some folks do have success using products, l dont deny that, but at best it will only put off the inevitable. I think I've been balanced here in saying that one should of course try these things if they want, but perhaps with the advice of someone professional. I've just seen a lot of folks try things they bought on the internet and done themselves harm. But yes, we do need more people talking g about this because it's ok to be sad about losing ones hair and we should not feel we have to just deal with it , simply because we are trans.

The main gene thought to be connected to balding is carried on the X chromosome. I wouldn't recommend anyone lowers testosterone doses, especially not without talking to a doctor,, but finasteride isn't as high risk as people make out, the main risk that puts off cis men is erectile dysfunction. Even if you're uncomfortable with those risks, which is totally fair, there are other options with minoxidil and dermarolling as over-the-counter treatments which work in some men. I don't think you have to be an advocate for these things but slightly more acknowledgment that many people do successfully reduce balding with these things would've been nice. I realise you mention that there may be things that can slow down balding but you also repeatedly say there's nothing you can do, whilst there's a whole bunch of evidence for things that people can do. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12196747/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3746236/

This was primarily a video about coming to terms with hair loss and so that was my focus. I only spoke about products and treatments briefly because that wasnt what l wanted this vlog to be about. There are plenty of vlogs out there which speak about certain products, l did not want to do that, mostly because l haven't tried them and have no intention of doing so. I do mention that there are pluses and minuses to treatments but l signposted people elsewhere for advice because l am no expert. As for the studies , it really depends on which journals you read, but results of whether we are more or less at risk of hair loss are mixed at best. Regardless of the study results, as men, whatever we do we are likely at some point to lose some or all of our hair and that was the point of this vlog , to talk about acceptance of that fact and learning to love yourself whether you have hair or not. I'm sorry this vlog has upset you so much, that was far from my intention. If you wish to use a treatment, then power to you my friend! I am most definitely not judging you.

[@rulerzreachf4n200]

I hope to go on T one day, but I want to know my chances of going mega bald so if anyone can give me an estimate that would be great 😂 Ok, so, my hair is quite thick and perfectly straight but fair and soft, my grandad on my mum’s side has gone pretty bald but my dad has almost all of his hair. Does it stand a chance? If not I’ll just have to cope with it ;u;

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Ah buddy! I understand the worry, but now mine is thinning I'm ok with it, it gives me a very typically male look so I'm ok with that! They do say it's your mothers side that you take after. But as trans men all the hereditary stuff is very different for us and there is still very little research. There are things you can do to help prevent or slow down hair loss, and some treatments that many men swear by so that's always an option . I tried some DHT blocker shampoo and l surprisingly noticed a difference! I made a vlog about it , here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIWufmdmg9Orrs0

Hair loss is heredity on the mother’s side. Doesn’t matter what dad’s hair looked like. Doesn’t matter the gender of the kids. If your mom suffers with baldness, so will you.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Yes and even if she doesn't it's still your mother's side that determins it

[@elliottlewis65]

When you said "mother's side" I thought you meant like maternal grandfather.

[@rdroid2438]

Holy crap. I thought you wer male before. Couldn’t tell

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I know, my label fell off 😉

[@rajf.1873]

I am 35 and getting ready to start T soon and so worried about my hair. I know its going to be hard to see the middle aged man in the mirror but at least he will be allowed to live as himself for the rest of his days. I'll buys hats lol.

Wear a hair piece when the time comes

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I think ld rather just shave my head 😁😁😁

[@hunterking4045]

@@FinnTheInfinncible If I can afford the Hair Club I might look into it after the results of my HRT.

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

Ah yes I understand that!

[@_sofie]

Rude to say that feminine curves and menstruation is undesirable especially when it’s not a health deficit

[@FinnTheInfinncible]

I dont understand? For me it IS undesirable as I am a trans man and both those things made me very dysphoric, which is why I transitoned
