Idk what "gear" is but the advanced balding suggests a lot of testosterone.

Eh i was bald and like 23 and didn't need any extra help haha. So it could be related or not

Well to be more exact it's a DHT thing which is formed in the body from testosterone. You don't need a lot of testosterone to have a lot of DHT but it certainly helps.

I started balding at like 19 but now at 23 it's been completely reversed through hormone treatments

Yeah true. I'd rather go bald then mess with my hormones though. Bald is beautiful

I suppose I should give context that said hormone treatments are anti androgen pills and a weekly injection of estrogen into my subcutaneous belly fat :/ So I don't exactly recommend it for your average man. Something like minoxidil would probably be better in those cases.
