i shed for probably 3-6 months when i started propecia and then within the next year everything grow back thicker and fuller. a shed when you start propecia is normal and defintiely a good sign. hang in there!

From what I've heard, shedding is a natural part of the process and will grow back. I don't think there are any REAL documented reports of rogaine worsening hairloss. when people say rogaine makes things worse i think it is either a) that the effects of male pattern baldness are outweighing the positive results...

So I have been on finasteride for close to 6 years now and saw fantastic success at first. Over the last 6-12 months I have noticed that I started losing hair again and I got on rogaine 5% foam about 2 months ago. SInce I started the foam I have definitely thinned out a good bit which I'm hoping is...

good question. i have been on finasteride for 18 mths and have been satisfied with the results. however, if there is a chance to get more regrowth than i would definitely be interested in checking it out. have any dutasteride users seen better results than they had on on finasteride?

it seems like everyone on this site targets 12 months for time when you should see the full potential from propecia. however. when you read more closely about propecia, you find out that 24 months is the time period that it takes to see the full results. so why isnt it that people bring up the...

i am 25 and have been on propecia for about a year now. when i started it was generally thinning all around but probably not noticeable to the "untrained" eye. but when i would look at a mirror under strong light i could see my scalp. Epiphany, do you have a link to this success story?

i have been on propecia for over a year and must say that after about 6 months i was really doubting whether or not it would work. but thankfully all of the sudden over the last three months or so ive started to see significant regrowth and can now definitely say that my hair is thickening out...

everywhere i read about propecia it says that you should expect to know if its working within a year but that it also doesn't reach its max effects until 2 years. are people likely to see growth after the one year mark or is it the type of thing where a majority of growth occurs in the first...

cmudave, any updates? i experienced the same thing recently and was wondering how it worked out for you

Has anyone else noticed that their hair is much easier to manage and style after a haircut? I cut my hair roughly once every 3 weeks and for the first 10 days or so after the cut my hair seems much lighter and easier to work with. after it grows a little longer it gets progressively more...

no, unfortunately i never took photos. which i regret...

so i have been on finasteride for about 5 1/2 months. my hair feels healthier and less limp and appears to be maintaining or perhaps is slightly thicker. however, when i look at some of the hairs that i shed in the shower or just when i rub my hair at my desk i notice that the hairs are thinner at...

phish, i have noticed the same thing as well. how long after you noticed this did you notice an overall thickening of your hair? i probably noticed thicker roots two weeks ago but haven't seen a change in my overall hair thickness

good to hear. i am right around the 5 month mark and keep going back and forth as to whether or not im improving. i had the same thing happen where propecia really took a big hit on my hair in the beginning. are there a lot of others out there that say they saw a lot of improvement in the end...

i have recently noticed small hairs growing around my hairline but i'm unable to tell if this is just "normal" hair growth. does anyone have any feedback on what new hair growth looks like or how to distinguish if its incremental or just part of your normal hair cycle?
