Testosterone Makes You Bald

Testosterone can lead to hair loss, is some type on whether you might experience it, and what you can do if it happens.

Come follow me!

I'm a cis guy but I love your videos and I love that you are promoting the Trans community positively and hopefully education people. There is so much misinformation not just transphobia which I hope would decrease with just education in schools. As a cis bi male, you have me as a supportive ally

I'm mtf but I really enjoy your content, more so than anything related to mtf transition! it's nice to learn the other side of the trans experience ^^

Testosterone makes your beard grow but it also makes you go bald. So basically it's like reversing your head.

I genuinely would stop taking testosterone if it meant me losing my hair. For me, my hair is such a core part of my identity that I don't think I could lose it, ever. My dad started balding very extremely when he was 19 and was fully bald by 23. I'm 19 now and hoping to get T privately either this year or next year so I'm very worried about it but this video has calmed me down some :)

Oh gosh. I remember at first I was freaking out that I'd go bald especially since I have no clue about my family's hair loss history (I'm adopted). I took a DNA test and I think it said average hair loss.

Now I'm just like eh, if I go bald it's not the end of the world.

I think it’s awesome that you cover a lot of varying topics about being T. You’re very open and honest in your videos. Hope you and Shaaba have a wonderful 2019!

I've heard that hair loss can sometimes be caused by stress, so getting stressed out about hair loss is a bad idea.

[enbyishimaru]

The only reason my dad is bald is cos he decided to shave it, so not hereditary and no bald men on my mom's side, so hopefully I'll keep my thicc hair

I started Testosterone today and this really helped my anxiety about hair loss!

May the follicles be ever in your favour.

I'm currently losing my hair after 3 or 4 years on Sustanon, even though the hair loss isn't that bad in my family. It's slowed down with medication but it's clearly still receding. Tough luck, I guess I'll be bald and beautiful.

And think about it from a trans woman's perspective. The fear of going bald or even just having a receding hairline is bloody terrifying.

Nothing to do with testosterone or being trans but I started getting massive hair loss while taking omeprazole. This is a drug that is used in gastro problems, it lowers the amount of stomach acid you have in ... well ... your stomach! One of the possible side effects is hair loss. Obviously as a young woman who has the luxury of having really thick hair I was devastated when this started happening. My hairdresser then recommended I try clini-scalp. It’s this set of shampoo and conditioner and then a third thing that you rub I to your scalp twice a day, and I used this for a few months. My hair is now even thicker than it ever used to be before the omperazole, which was pretty bloody thick. Not gonna lie, my hair is now sort of amazing, I’m quite proud of it! 😉😜🤣

“Bless you Benjamin. Are you okay?”
This was such a sweet moment.

I love how jammie never makes you feel bad about the things that happen on T. If your worried he gives you the truth but always in a positive light. Always makes me feel better.

[DrKristinaRizzotto]

I'm glad I quit it then, hehe. I'm MtF and love watching your videos. My channel is music only, but I do love the style of your videos and your personality. Happy new year, Jamie!

[Hondeer]

AMAB here, started taking estro and finasteride, rapidly re-growing hair I thought was dead and gone *for years*. And ya, the texture does change, its changing back to when I was younger and could style it. Pretty rad!

[Richard-Bullock]

As a cis man in my mid 40's, I have been losing my hair for a number of years now. Surprisingly (to myself) I am not anywhere near as bothered by my hastening baldness as I thought I would be. But obviously we are all different about our own personal hair loss potential.

[Goreified]

Going bald I literally can’t as a metalhead I need this shit. So this makes me absolutely terrified to start T

Jamie, thank you for being you. These videos have created such a supportive network for the FtM and trans community as a whole, and it is SO encouraging to see this happening. Keep being the amazing person you are, sir! <3

[alexsamuel]

As a transgender teenager (13 years old, FTM) your channel is an amazing channel filled with education every transgender person/s should watch before transitioning, during transitioning and/or even after fully transitioning. I love your channel so much! I've seen every video and possibly learnt everything there is to know about being transgender and going on testosterone and growing a pee-pee and body hair and facial hair and more pee-pee stuff, mainly things about penises, because I guess that show you roll, you talk about pee-pee a bit... Anyway, to finish, thank you for blessing the LGBTQ+ community and the YouTube commune with your knowledge and humour. No homo, (😂) but I love ya Jamie, stay Jammy, and keep dodging those hate comments (and keep dodging male pattern hair loss) From, Eli 💙💚💛💜
