As a diffuse thinner my first year starting finasteride was rough, a lot of shedding, seemed like things were getting worse before they could get better. Year 2 was when things seemed to get better for me and my dentist told me how my hair looks thicker recently.
The question is how long is the maximum time anyone has seen where hair keeps getting better? Anyone heard of diffuse thinners still reversing miniaturization after 3, 4, and 5 years? I feel like I've been lucky for now and I know I will never get back to baseline because I waited too much but I wonder if it can keep improving. If anyone has anecdotes or stories let me know.
I think one day I will add minoxidil to the regimen but I want to see how far finasteride will take me before committing to minoxidil for the rest of my life.
Also, nizoral never did anything for me other than dry my hair out. It's never seemed worth it really unless you have bad scalp conditions or dandruff too.
