I put this on the general, but figured it should be on success stories.

Been losing hair since I was 20. Started looking bad around 27-28. I'm 37 now.

Started minoxidil about 2 1/2 years ago. I had some half decent results around 6-7 months, then it slowly faded away. I still apply about 1.3mg twice daily.

6 months ago at age 36 I started finasteride. I figured since I'm a diffused thinner with a reasonably low, albeit sh*t density hairline, that I'd have a more than decent result. I didn't think it'd be this good though.
No shed.
No side effects.
First noticed results around 2.5 months.
Turned the corner around 4 months. Started to look pretty good.
Been looking better every month since.

Hoping around the 1 year mark it looks like it's not thinning, even in bright lighting. Looking pretty good though now, if I use a bit of dermatch, looks pretty damn good.

Any questions just ask

Damn son, free hair transplant. Wish I had those results.
Thx. There's still some thinning in the front, hopefully the thin hairs get replaced with more dense hairs. But even if not, it's still a great result, and I'll take it. A little Dermatch and it looks fairly dense. Would've taken a paint roller before.

Congratulations man. They’re great results. At what point did you start to notice results? Did you have any shedding?

Thx. I didn't really have any noticeable shedding. I noticed around 2 1/2 months, probably just a cease of shedding. At 4 months it started looking pretty decent, and just steady progress since then.

So basically, you started to notice results AFTER you introduced finasteride.
Because at first when you were just taking minoxidil, it worked...then results stared fading?

Yeah i started min 2 years prior. Hair was a little better adder about 4 months or so, n lasted for about another 4 months or so. Nearly 2 years after i started finasteride. Min may have been helping slow things down, n may be helping regrowth now. Recently dropped min to once a day, about 3 ml foam, melted to liquid with a hair dryer. See if anything changes. I highly doubt it.

Well, it still looks a bit thin in front, and in natural bright light outside, abysmal n see through. But, its a lot better, and if I put some dermatch in, in anything but harsh lightning it looks like it could pass for a full head of hair.

Because I haven't been able to wear it this since I was in my early 20's, n even then I didn't. It also gives me a good gauge to as to where my progress is, because I can look at it in different light, different conditions, etc, all the time. I can also see is ppl are looking at my hairline. I also don't think it looks good pretty much any other way.
