Greetings fellow comrades,
I never thought the day I would post a success story would come. Even 2-3 months ago I was filled with despair and was at the lowest point in my life. Jump to the present and I'm happy as a man could ever be in regards to his hair. I'm confident that I am heading...
Started finasteride ONLY few months into 20 yrs old.
Saw like no significant improvements only maintenance up until 3 months ago.
Since for literally 1 and a half years finasteride seemed to just maintain do nothing more or less, I was somewhat satisfied as it was the expected results.
Then...
For most people it would be pointless indeed.
Rogaine (Mino) acts as an accelerator much like fertilizer for plants, which makes them grow faster.
Finasteride/Propecia/Duta actually allows the land to be fertile again by removing the corruption we refer to as DHT.
Using fertiliser on barren land...
If it's only been 3 months wait it out for a bit longer. You may not see a sudden shed but depending on which part of the hair cycle your hairs are in they may go away at another time down the line/.
If you don't properly massage and shampoo your scalp after a hot day with a cap on, then that may contribute to hairloss from clogged pores.
Hats dont directly cause hairloss no, but the aforementioned reason plays a big role. Sebum buildup from unwashed sweat.
On paper Duta is better than Fina due to its inhibiting properities.
HOWEVER, irl there are alot of factors that change what ppl experience.
If Duta was superior to Fina in every way to combat hairloss everyone would be taking it instead.
Not sure 100% of the reason why but some ppl have more...
There's a cycle of growth and fallout. For me I noticed alot of shedding and loss every 4 ish months, but it recovered in the months to come.
All in all I was equal in the amount that I lost and gained in the first 1.5 yrs, and now there's a surplus.
Yo guys heads up on how long fina can potentially take for you to see VISIBLE results.
Sure it kicks in right away but for me, i didn't see any substantial change until the 1.5-1.7yr mark.
From then I actually saw a DRASTIC improvement.
So for ppl who don't get sides, pls just wait it out...
I've been concerned throughout my life as long as I could remember about hairloss on my crown and temples.
( Crown being more severe)
My first stop to reversing this process was getting on minoxidil. It ended with sad results as I had barely any patience keeping up with the strict 2 day...
