All the guys who have hair loss hopped on finasteride.... :)

Nah, wet or dry, it's all good!

This is my 1 year update. It's incredible that it has already been a year since I started. There's actually not much to report. My hair has been growing. I now have a full head of hair with a lot of density. The hair is thick, shiny and healthy. There's no trace of hair loss anymore. My...

I buy the cheapest 5mg generic finasteride I found online (I'm in the USA). Not sure if I'm allowed to mention the name. I don't want to come across as someone who is here to advertise a store. It's $22.50 for 90 pills. As for minoxidil, I buy the cheapest liquid minoxidil you can find on Amazon...

Yeah, Asian.

Hey Red, It's been almost 11 months since I started the treatment and once I hit the full year, I'll post some pictures. But I can tell you now already that visually, I have fully recovered any hair loss. 100%. My hair looks and feels the way it was when I was a teenager. I say "visually"...

I shower every morning. Although I only shampoo my hair twice per week, I always rinse my hair with cold water and apply conditioner with every shower, even if I don't shampoo. After the shower, I apply the minoxidil, comb my hair, and leave it on all day. Before going to bed, I rinse my hair...

Hard to tell but my best guess is that hair was no longer miniaturized. Really just a guess though.

Hey Red, man, how are you? Has your hair improved? How are you coping? You mentioned progress. I hope you have your life back now. It always breaks my heart to hear how you guys are suffering.

manda, I just looked back at the thread. You were at 6 weeks. How are you, man? Were you able to halt the loss or improve your situation?

Hey manda (and All), Sorry I've been so quiet lately. The reason is because there's not much to update. It's been 8 months since I started Finasteride/Minoxidil. I still haven't experienced any sheds or any side effects. My hair is growing like crazy and I'm pretty much back to where I was at...

No, I didn't have any initial shed. Or if I did, it was so insignificant that I didn't notice it. I think I did have scalp itches at some time but I don't remember if it was consistent or if it happened right before I started the treatment. On the timing of the improvement, if you go back to...

Thanks! BTW: I'm going towards 6 months on Finasteride and Minoxidil and never had any side effects or sheds. Have you?

Here you go, manda. The first picture is how I look normally. Based on this, nobody would ever guess how my hair was back in August. Some people tell me that my appearance "has somehow changed" or ask me if I "have lost weight" :) In the second picture, I gave my best to expose as much...

No worries, man. I wasn't taking it that way at all. My hair was thinner under certain angles and lighting until about a month ago. But now there's so much hair all over my scalp. Another nice side effect is that the new hairs are all black, no greys.
