So I hopped on finasteride 2 days ago (feeling perfectly fine btw). And before my routine looked like this - I started when I was Norwood 2.5 with good density:
- Minoxidil - 2 times per day (morning/evening)
- Nizoral - once per week
- Dermarolling - 0.5 mm/2 times per week and minoxidil right after (started doing it 1 month ago)
- Biotin and Zinc every morning
- Vitamin A, D, E complex
- Scalp stimulation when taking shower everyday
So basically major update to my routine is finasteride which I hopped on 2 days ago and take 1mg every morning. Now my question is will I encounter shedding? I encountered initial minoxidil shedding which lasted about 2 months. It was quite worrying for me but I got over it and after 3 months of minoxidil I saw first baby hairs which are growing larger as I’m still using minoxidil. Dermarolling is also helping very much. I’m worried if I will encounter finasteride shed because it is mentally taxing and I wouldn’t be happy to go through another shed because I havent even recovered 100% from minoxidil shed yet. Sorry for the wall of text and please help.
