You have the option RU58841, is an investigational substance with good results in hair loss:

Other option is topical finasteride which doesnt not cause problems in sexual impotence, sexual desire, erectile dysfuntion,...in comparation with finasteride pills, but you should know that baldness has no cure. Nothing works for many people and the steroids (specially dht derivatives) make hair fall more

Human hair growth can be monitored for several months after the transplantation of scalp samples from men with androgen-dependent alopecia on to female nude mice. Hair production from balding sites has been shown to be inhibited in testosterone-conditioned nude mice. We used this recently...

Yeah I was leaning towards 58841, but started seeing people talking about heavy side effects. Seems to have way better results though.You have the option RU58841, is an investigational substance with good results in hair loss:

It's not to discourage you, but if there was a cure for baldness, there would be no bald people. In my case, long time ago I used minoxidil, anti hair loss shampoo,...but my hair kept falling and the option to use finasteride pills didnt want to use, because their side effects.
I have been using topical Finasteride, and it seems to work well. However, I have been mixing my own sol , I put 300 MG fina in a 60 mL minoxidil bottle to make a 5% concentrate solution. Does Hims even specify what percentage concentration their product is?
Actually, there is a cure for baldness, it’s called finasteride. Does a good enough job, not perfect but it prevents you from losing all your hair. It does not target all aspects of the DHT binding, but will prevent hair miniaturization for the most part. The problem is most men do not EVER take it or take it soon enough. The experts say believe it or not by the time you notice you are losing your hair 30 to 50% (yes an unbelievable amount) of your hair is already gone in the affected area. And minoxidil I would not consider a treatment at all. RU588, Finasteride, and dutasteride are far, far superior.
The side effects of oral finasteride are overblown. Sure, for about 2% of men it might matter, but most people —no effects at all. And like I mentioned previously, topical is really the way to go and then for sure no side effects.

What you say is not correct, baldness has no cure and there is not a single medication that solves baldness. The most powerful there is is finasteride and durasteride, but even with this the hair falls out to a greater or lesser extent, it depends a lot on the user. In addition, it must be added that they bring many side effects due to low DHT such as lack of libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, gynecomastia,...and many end up with post-finasteride syndrome, which can be lifelong.
If the baldenss had cure, the rich and famous would not go bald or at least they would find the solution, look at Dayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Jason Staham, Nicolas Cage, Pep Guardiola,William the Prince of Wales,....
I get your point brother about there being no cure. As in the disease being, totally reversible, I get it. However, I’m referring to the fact that there is a cure for excessive DHT in the scalp, which causes the hair to fall out. And most users (not all) the hair miniaturization is drastically reduced. So much like someone wearing a seatbelt that prevents injury or largely reduces it, this drug can largely reduce hair loss. And the side effects you speak of our very minimally experienced in only about 2% of users. For you to say, “many side effects”, that is just incorrect.
Regardless, the point here is try to give advice to someone. In fact, he specifically says he wants to “catch it early” like he doesn’t have a huge hair loss problem yet. My advice would be to try to finasteride and see how it goes. If you are having side effects, then get off the drug, for sure. I don’t know why people don’t view that as a creatIve solution: give things a try for a while. You’re not going to be permanently damaged. Also, ofc would help to stay off certain DHT derivative steroids.
Another cure, (okay solution) if you will is here transplantation— the technology has gotten very sophisticated. However, it typically requires 2 to 4 rounds of $15,000 each. I’ve looked into it extensively. Poster child for this procedure should be Elon Musk he was nearly bald about 20 years ago, and now has an incredible hairline. Same with Matthew Mcconelly.

Finasteride, RU 58841, Minoxidil, and 2% ketoconazole shampoo has completely changed the density of the hair on the top of my head. It’s night and day difference what my hair looks like now compared to what it looks like before I started using products/medication to restore it.
I have a hair transplant scheduled to restore my hairline. I was advised to get on finasteride before the surgery to promote and restore growth. If knew about these treatment options when I began receding, I would have never had needed a transplant. Judge all you want idc. Hollywood is full of men with transplants. If you have the money, why not.
And to answer the OPs question, I don’t use topical. I take 1mg oral daily with zero sides. I still get hard as a rock and want sex daily.
