We can’t say that Barry’s hair loss is due to his steroid use but it is a very common side effect of steroid use, along with all the other possibly more serious health risks. Juicing steroids changes hormone levels and increases testosterone or DHT in the body and the DHT can weaken and damage the hair follicles on the scalp. Of course, there are a lot of complicated body chemistry things going on in each individual but if we don’t need to hit 500 ft home runs why risk hair loss. As we know, once the follicle is gone, its never coming back. Those fickle, weak little follicles. If only a laboratory scientist somewhere could somehow coax them back alive he or she would be a bazillionaire and the egos of bald men worldwide would re-inflate. Anyway, Barry took the risk and did something pretty impressive but his body most likely shows the damage.
