Thank you man. I will jump on finasteride ASAP then and hope for the best. About teenage hair loss, I have a cousin that is 14 yo and he has very aggressive hair loss for his age: noticeable diffuse thinning all over his head, much more worse than my hair loss. Should he go for minoxidil...

@rclark Oh, I have a similar family scenario: my dad is losing hair now, in his 50ies, and he has diffused alopecia, I think, since he has little hair all over the scalp and went directly from norwood 2 to 6 in no time. My mother also has hair loss but just the parting is a bit large and hair...

@rclark Oh I see, so even if the packaging says it does not work on hairline, it is just because it is not tested for hairline, but it indeed works. Well I will keep using it on hairline also. About Finasteride, would you advice taking it every other day? I could take half a tablet every...

Thanks for your detailed advice :) So I should start with taking half a dose or 1/3 a dose per day, then check if I have sides, if not I can work it up to 1 mg/daily. I am indeed on Minoxidil since early 2016, I will keep using it even if I start taking finasteride then. Thank you again for...

Thanks mate :) I will likely follow your advice, since there is no point in waiting for it to get worse. I just hope I experience no sides. Should I suspend it if I experience sides or keep taking it anyway?

@michel sapin Thank you for your questions :) I've been taking minoxidil for almost 2 years now (from early 2016). I apply it on the whole scalp. I apply 1 ml twice per day. Actually, I would say it is a little bit more of 1 ml since sometimes 1 ml is not enough to cover the whole scalp. I...

Thank you for the advice man :) I will consider finasteride. Merry Christmas to you, too!

Oh, so would you advice me to jump on finasteride at this point? Would I be able to save my hair since, as I may deduce from your statement, it is no longer enough?

Hi guys, I wanted to ask you an advice regarding my hair, since I cannot understand by myself if I should be concerned or not. Two years ago a dermatologist told me I have some miniaturized hair and so prescribed me minoxidil (5%) twice per day, and I've been applying that since then regularly...
