    Hey guys. I start noticing that some areas of my head become less and less hairy and I wonder if the situation is reversible.

    First of all I;ve been fapping since forever but always had good hairline. It is after the latest years that hair started to fall off. But the latest years I was depressed and the latest two years extremelly stressful.

    But not anymore.

    So now for the FIRST time in my life i am not fapping nad having no stress!

    Is there any possibility I will regain my healthy awesome looking hairline?

    I really cant live without my hair and I feel its not a gene's thing. They way the fall looked like exchaustion and stress, nothing more.

    Is there any change to go back to normal?

    PS: I will keep you guys updated if the hair pops right back in

    In the two years that I've been doing nofap off and on, I've had hair loss. I'm not really sure this can be attributed to the nofap, but most studies suggest that higher levels of testosterone lead to hair loss, and that masturbation decreases testosterone levels. In fact, I do nofap mainly because I enjoy the high testosterone levels, but I think it can lead to hair loss, just as steroids do.

    Talk to a doctor about it. Depending on the cause for your hair loss, there could be medication that could help. Regaine for example is supposed to work perfectly in some cases but it depends on the reason for the hair loss.

    As for NoFap being the cause: I've heard things similar to what DWizZy said. Personally, my hairline has been going back during the past 2 years and within my last 3 months of NoFap, I don't think it's gotten any worse.

    Sorry bud nofap won't help with that. Saying not masturbating will help with regaining hair is like saying not smoking will help with regaining hair. Nofap simply means avoiding a harmful activity, it doesn't mean you will overcome genetics. good luck buddy.

    There are many posts in other forums and across the web that state the opposite.

    The pattern of my hair loss is the pattern of loss due to stress. So they will grow back eventually

    In my opinion, if you're losing hair, you're losing it whether you like it or not. It's genetics

    That said, they say that some things may accelerate or decelerate hair loss. One of those things are levels of a specific kind of testosterone in the body. I'm not sure but maybe abstaining from fapping can affect these levels? I'm just guessing here

    But I think it's unlikely, and it's most likely placebo.

    Hair loss is influenced by hormones and fapping makes your hormones go wild. So it is possible fapping is hurting your hair-line and thus it is possible nofap will help.
    I had a more detailed theory a year or two ago when i looked into it, but this is what is left of it in my mind :)

    After fapping I remember ny head always became itchy and i needed to scratch it. Also it became red and skin started to fall of.
    My theory is this (give me a nobel price later): Masturbation causes hormone change and affects the energy levvels of the body. It is connected with the thyriod glance as well. When thyroid goes down blood circulation goes down. When blood circulation goes down , oxygen goes down. It is known that with less oxygen in the blood hair starts to fall of.

    That is one theory.

    Number two is the release of a chemical affecting the hair after fapping.

    So yes. Genetics is one thing and it is accepted. But loosing your hair due to fapping is just sad. But it it said that hair that is not meant to be lost (due to genetics) will eventually regrow.

    Had a friend who lost his hair due to stress and one day saw them grow back.

    After 10 days my hair is strong, there is no dandruff, no itchy sculp as in the past. My sculp used to be red. They told me to change shampoo. Of course does not help. All these 'solutions' are just bullshit for money making. It is always an internal thing.

    The hair are shining and they are getting their brown color back.

    This is amazing. Most amazing is that my confidence goes up because of this.

    First of all one should be at‘no stress’ dealing with hair loss. Stress has a direct relation with your hair loss. You can surely regain your hairline like before and that too in a natural way. Many of my friends have taken the benefit of Hair Transplant to get back their hair and that too for lifetime. You can also go for it. Believe me, it will change your look completely and will make you feel your youth again.

    I have heard names of few hair transplant surgeons who have mastery in this artistic work. You can search for Dr. KapilDua from AK Clinics, Dr. Khanna, Dr. Poswal in India or Dr Harris orDr True in US for more details

  12. Starting NoFap causes stress of some sort, I'm sure. I got a strange kind of static headache in the right front of my head. The pain goes up and down within days, but it doesn't have this pumping-feeling to it, just static and stays there for awhile.

    I believe there is a connection also . I keep a journal of my relapses . And recently in the last 2-3 months I have had hair thinning and some slight hair loss . After some heavy binging . I am curious to see what good sleep and improved T-levels will do . I have heard from others that I will grow back .

    Only stress not contribute in hair loss problem there several reasons lead to hair loss problem like eating disorder, Diabetes problem, Intake excessive Smoking, Drinking Alcohol etc. and it true the latest technique of FUE hair transplant become an permanent solution for baldness issue.

    Hair loss can be due to a couple of things. One of them being fapping but its not quite as influential as to what you eat. What you eat is the most influential factor to any disease. If you are the type of guy who faps everyday then that can be bad because your body is working overtime to recover itself.

    1. your body cannot repair itself because most people are not intaking the correct foods in order to heal.
    2. intaking food that is damaging the body.
    3.Sperm is rich in minerals, hormones. Each time its secreted, your body has to replenish it by drawing minerals from your body.

    So with those 3 things, do you honestly think your body can withstand the beating for long periods of time? Do you see why people age? Do you see why people are balding? Do you see why disease are formed?

    When you nofap, your body has a chance to heal because its not having to divert all its energy into one area but another. Its why smooth skin, memory coming back, better concentration, more energy, higher testosterone.

    The body will heal itself if you let it heal...that's just one factor, you also must assist it in its healing mechanism which is to feed it the right fuel. EAT FOOD THAT IS ALIVE. FOODS WITH A HIGH WATER CONTENT is very important.
    If you leave a piece bread on the table for even just a minute, it will dry up. If you leave an apple core out for just a min it will turn brown and oxidize. AIR IS VERY OXIDIZING. Your body is oxidizing as we speak and you have to eat foods high that have a natural water content. Most foods in the stores processed food and its to be avoided. Meat is very important to humans but its to be consumed in very little quantity per day. Meat is a cheat way to get your proteins. Proteins from plants are healthier but its harder to consume given the situation we are in so its better to consume meat in little quantity.

    I know that was a rant about food but back to fapping and hair loss. It has to stop in order for your body to heal itself. secretion/replacment of sperm/hormones requires quite a bit of energy so if you want good health overall not just full head of hair, you have to direct all energy into rebuilding and maittaining itself. Over fapping causes the thyroid to weaken because its losing all its healing power to overfapping. so let the thyroid heal.

    Most guys who say NoFap isnt going to help especially the hairloss forums but rest assured most of them have not tried to stop masturbating for an extensive period of time and the idea is absurd to them. Thats major sin number 1. 2 if its not from fapping alot its from bad diet which I can assure you they are all over weight.

    I say a good whole year with NoFap and right diet and your hair hasnt come back, then fap all you want and eat all the foods you want because if doing all the right things for a whole year with no improvement then were all fkd

    Haha don't worry about the grammar it was readable :)

    Do you think masturbating everyday nearly for ten years can ruin your nervous system ? I really feel out of whack and also I have had a bad diet but am changing that now. Sorry OP for hijacking

    Nervous system? I doubt it. I know for sure 100% it will mess up your thyroid though. It also messes up your prefrontal cortex because your brain is not getting enough dopamine. Memory and reasoning is weak when your pfc isn't getting enough dope.

    Thats just the details if one wants to know but I've always told Fapstronauts they shouldn't worry about the details because it just so much. Rather just stop with the fapping and you'll be on to a happier life

    So far I've read only bullshit on this thread...hair loss is caused in 99% cases due to your hair follicles being sensitive to DHT-testosterone which is a byproduct of testosterone, this DHT gives secondary sexual characteristics such as body hair and beard...the older you get the more of your testosterone gets converted into DHT because your body becomes less efficient at maintaining pure testosterone.

    You have multiple options when it comes to fighting this problem...I cant list them all here there are plenty of forums on the internet that are specialized on this problem, the one I recommend is http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/forum.php , sorry if I am not allowed to post sites here...
