Does anavar cause hair loss?

My gym buddies use Anavar for muscle building, and I'm thinking of trying it too. But I'm a bit worried about the side effects; does Anavar cause hair loss? I don't want to lose my hair.

Yes, Anavar is a DHT-derived steroid, which means it can definitely accelerate male pattern baldness if you are genetically prone to it. I track my workouts and health stats diligently, and honestly, the risk of hair shedding is a major drawback that most fitness trackers won't warn you about. Be very careful.

Haan na, it definitely causes hair fall and thinning because it's a steroid after all. Many people take it for gym results, but then they suffer from severe hair loss. Better to stay away from such heavy substances and focus on natural fitness.

I am quite new to fitness supplements and my gym trainer suggested this to me. I didn't know it could cause hair loss. Is this side effect permanent, or does the hair grow back once you stop taking it?

I've seen plenty of guys in my gym circles lose their hair rapidly on Anavar. Since it's an androgenic steroid, it binds to hair follicles and causes shedding, especially if hair loss runs in your family. If you value your hair, stop using these shortcuts and consult a doctor about the damage already done.

I was thinking of trying it for my cutting cycle, but I am so paranoid about losing my hairline. Did anyone else notice immediate hair shedding after starting it, or does it happen only after long-term use? I am really scared of going bald.
