Finasteride won’t save your hair from DHT-derived gear. But this might

Still popping Finasteride and thinking your hair’s safe while you’re blasting Masteron or Winstrol? Cute.

Here’s the deal: finasteride blocks 5-alpha reductase, which stops testosterone from turning into DHT. But if you’re using DHT-based compounds (like Mast, Winny, Anavar, etc.), you’re already dealing with the final boss. These don’t need conversion—they are DHT.

So yeah, finasteride does nothing. Your follicles are still getting nuked.

What actually helps? RU58841: a topical androgen receptor blocker.

Doesn’t matter where the DHT comes from, RU blocks it from binding to scalp receptors. That means it actually works to protect your hair.

Bonus: it can also help with DHT-driven acne when applied to breakout-prone areas like back, chest, or shoulders.

Use it or lose it.
