A few questions about my first cycle and hair loss

[ilikemyhair11]

So I am 25.I have been training about four years and at 5 ft 7 I bench 275 and squat 400 so I believe I have built up an adequte natty base.
What I am wondering about is hair loss.Obviously test is best so the default plan for a first cycle seems to be 500mg/week(I live in the UK so getting good test is no problem). Has anyone ever here experienced hair loss on a dose like that?





I have a full head of hair right now,my father still has a full head at 50 whereas my mother's father went bald very early.I believe it is inherited from mother's father but I may be wrong,but I believe there are multiple genetic components to hairloss besides what you inherit.



I know using finesterade to prevent it but I have also read some horror stories of permanent side effects like ED so I would be leaning towards not wanting to have to use it.I know there are topical solutions which can be slightly effective it seems,so I would use them obviously.




My second question is relating to a "safer" hair loss cycle.I have read that deca is hair loss friendly.I know It should be run in conjuction with test as it causes shutdown but what I am wondering is will "low test" plus moderate deca be safer for my hair compared to just "moderate test"(500mg/week)




Do you think I could gain a comporable amount of muscle on my first cycle using deca as the "main" compound with a smaller amount of test to counteract the shutdown compared to a just test cycle?any pros/cons to this approach?
Appreciate any insight guys


EDIT:In searching about deca I have come across NPP,which from what I read seems to be pretty much superior to deca reading the "deca vs npp" article on this site. So I guess you could also sub in NPP for deca in the questions asked above.It seems expensive looking at my source though but I dont mind paying the extra really.I am also reading that nandrolone acts as a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor so less DHT(ie the thing that accelerates hair loss) is produced when deca is stacked with the test.But I am not sure if there is any truth to that

Depends if you're prone to hair loss or not. Dad or Grandfather bald? Also 500mg/week isn't too high of a dose so I wouldn't worry.

I have seen that site and it really is a wealth of info.However unfortunately the cycles he reccomends for hair loss saftey are always combined with finesterade,which isn't to be combined with deca/npp,so none of them have deca/npp obviously.But in my case where I dont want to use fin it seems like deca would be the best choice.


Also generally wondering about the effectiveness of a cycle with npp as the "main compound" which the site(or his other one good looking loser) doesnt seem to go into

The nizoral and nioxin shampoos would help, they're *supposed to remove the dht from the scalp. More of a bandaid tho. Deca and npp are some of the milder compounds as far as hair loss goes, I'd go with npp, sides are less for me if at all. No chance of nandro base?

Adding npp or deca in with your test will shut you down MORE than test. Aren't nandrolones the most suppressive steroids? Bottom line if you take steroids you will be shut down until you come off and your body needs to produce testosterone again. If you are worried about this then do 8 weeks of test prop at 500mgs. Test prop kicks in faster than test e/c so you can run a shorter cycle/be shut down for shorter time period

And, unless you are already going bald, one test cycle isnt going to wreck your hairline

Shut down doesn't cause hair loss, dht conversion does
