Creatine should have no effect on hair growth. Creatine is used in the muscles to produce explosive energy (as opposed to endurance energy used in running). It doesn't manipulate your hormonal balances the way a steroid or hormone treatment (testosterone) would.
In fact, there are some products on the market that induce you body to produce more of its own natural testosterone (like yohimbe and stuff like that) and creatine doesn't even do that. It's out of the hormone loop completely.

Hmm I take amphetamines. My Creatine levels have gone up. My acne went from mild to moderate. My facial hair and crotch hair is increasing. And it seems my scalp and facial hair is growing faster. My hair, like my skin, has gotten more oily. My hair was very dry and thick to begin with, so thats no big deal, but my face gets really oily really fast.
Kinda off topic, but...How can stuff like this, and testosterone, "shrink" your genitals? Your genitals stop growing in your teens. Although they certainly can make it hard to get erections, and they will be smaller, but once you have metabolized or removed the offending drug or excess hormones, wouldn't your size and function return? When I quit taking, mine does.

As you can see Micro-Jewels are only one of the negative effects of steroids (synthetic testosterone). As to amphetamines, who can say? I am not especially familiar with them, except to say that they are really lousy for your heart.

I meant to say elevated Creatinin (sp) I think. This is to be expected, but its monitored on blood tests.
Amphetamines certainly can be bad for your heart, but at therapeutic doses, without heart conditions, not really.
Everything is bad for you.

Actually weight lifting increases your bodies production of testosterone, along with human growth hormone it causes muscles to grow.

Hi,
I've read that testosterone per se will not make one lose hair, it is the component product "dihydro-testosterone" (DHT) that cause baldness, which production is not proportional to the amount of testosterone.
Cheers,

Yes, androgens are bad for hair on your head if the follicles are susceptible to the tragically adverse affect of dihydrotestosterone.

I don't know about natural testosterone, but the synthetic stuff is what weight lifters use to get huge (steroids). In addition to excessive genital shrinkage, hair loss is common. I can only imagine that natural testosterone does the same.

Testosterone levels regulate hair growth in many ways in many diff. areas of the body. On your head, it will make your beard and stache grow more, but make your hair on the top of your head fall out.
It will also make your crotch hair grow thicker as well as your ass hair grow thicker. Uh... is that what you want? he he he.
Plus, there are many adverse side affects:
Rage (for no apparent reason)
Acne (boy, doesnt that sound good?)
Increased appetite (let's all get good and fat)
Decreased genital size (don't even go there)
Decreased sexual energy (oh, goody.)
Heart palpitations
General cario-vascular problems.
The list goes on and on....
So, really mess up your body today with HYPER-testosterone!!!
Testosterone..and what of...
