For lifters and men on TRT

Big lifts. Same hairline.

Testosterone, creatine and DHT get the blame for a lot of receding hairlines. Here’s what the evidence actually says, and the twice-a-day habit that protects what you’ve got.

What actually affects your hair.

i.

TRT can speed it up

Testosterone converts to DHT. If you’re genetically prone to pattern hair loss, raising your testosterone can make it progress faster. If you’re not prone, it usually won’t start it.

ii.

Creatine: weak evidence

The worry comes from a 2009 study of rugby players whose DHT rose during creatine loading. Nobody measured their hair. A 2025 trial of 45 lifters found no change in DHT or hair after 12 weeks on creatine.

iii.

Minoxidil works differently

It doesn’t touch your hormones. It keeps follicles in their growth phase for longer, so it fits around TRT, creatine and whatever else is in your stack.

Questions

Minoxidil doesn’t act on testosterone or DHT, so it doesn’t interfere with TRT. If you’re unsure about anything in your treatment, ask your prescriber.

Apply it after you train and shower, then give it a few hours to absorb before your next heavy sweat. Most people apply in the morning and after their evening shower.

Foam dries faster and is less likely to irritate. The solution is cheaper per month. Both are 5% minoxidil.

Some shedding in the first two months is normal. Most people see a difference between months four and six, and the full result at a year.
