Is hairloss on test dose dependent?

[paranoid android]

Ive been on test about 8 weeks now and so far no hair loss. Granted im only on 150mg's every 2 weeks. I was thinking about asking my doctor for more but am abit worried about the hair loss risk

I think its more to do with genetics - you are either susceptible to male pattern baldness or not. Im taking finasteride and still regrowing hair while on TRT

Individual genetics around DHT dominance via 5-alpha reductase is more associated with hair loss and prostate issues..

The prostate issues are another thing. I think im gonna get blood tests done for prostate antigen thing or whatever

Genetics mainly, but also can be accelerated by dose! That's my opinion speaking from many years personal experience

Important to note that hair follicules are on a long cycle, quite a bit longer than 8weeks. I think 12-14wks is a good number to use...?
Sorry if it sounds like I am guessing- but I am not, at least on the core fact. When I went in to have a hairline restoration quote (changing career context made me cancel), I was bombarded with facts (to his credit) and I followed up with 30-40hours research. That was a dozen years ago.

There are always growing,visible hairs... and ones asleep.

Also why laser or electrolysis hair removal takes multiple treatments. Each treatment is only partially successful, plus almost completely unsuccessful in acting on the dormant "roots".

My point is you have to go through a few of these 90-100 day cycles to get a feel for your hair loss. In my case the hair goes from completely straight, to a slight wave/curl, about 10-14 months before it thins. This too is explained in literature on the subject- by restricted/failing follicules.

I am on a perhaps upper level TRT dose of 160mg/wk. Loss has tapered off. When I was over 300mg/wk cruise for a year plus, the loss really seemed worse. I had also added Proviron and NPP (short duration Deca).

So.... within the imperfect world of self observation, I would say the answer to your question is yes.
But other answers saying it depends on genetics are very correct too.

The hairless thing is more hereditary then anything else but dht steroids also can cause hairless or speed up the process if you got mpb already in your genes.

More with genetics and e2 dht balance I’ve actually had more hair loss in the past in lower dosages rather in high

I've gone through all sorts of extremes with dosing and compound choice. Nothing makes my hair thin but heavy dht will have me standing in front of the urinal to get those last few drops of pee for a long time.

Nah. I wouldn’t say. I’d say it’s more genetic related. I’ve been in the bodybuilding game for years. If I know about anything it’s about ped science and how to get big /fit/lean
