Hey guys, I feel like my temple area got worse with a new format but I'd like to ask you guys for thoughts.

The picture where I am wearing a yellow top was 3 weeks ago approx - I was using Minoxil from Belgravia Centre 5% in morning and then 12.5% in the night.

-

The other picture was taken today and for 3 weeks I am taking Finastride 1MG a day and using Kirkland Minoxidil 5%, twice a day.

-

I feel like that temple area has got even weaker which is not what I wanted :(

I want to wear my hair up again like I always used to but this always forces me to try to disguise by sweaping it to a side which I hate.

Looks slightly better,on image 1_8, but angle and light is slightly different. We all know our own hair best.

Hey guys, can someone tell me what I can do

In my first post, the images in my first post is before Finastride.

This pictures now is after 1 month of Finastride

Before I was just using Minoxidil.

Since using Finastride, I am not sure if there is an improvement and it feels like my entire hairline is taking a hit now also and thinning out near the front.

One picture on purpose I did when my hair is wet, and the others is it dry and I'm trying to expose the temple.

I hate that I cannot wear my hair up now, I did one picture showing if I do my hair up then how the temples gets shown to badly.

-

My current regime is Kirkland Minoxidil solution 5% twice a day
1mg Finastride

Then I use Argan Oil Conditioner / Regenepure shampoo

It's really worrying me

false. minoxidil+finasteride can impact any area. you've only been on treatment for about a month now. always expect your hair to turn to sh*t before getting any better. it is most likely just a shed. best of luck

I find it so hard to be motivated even if I know it's just 1 month on Finastride, I had a haircut yesterday and the front of my hairline has definetely gone back and...it's actually scary

I can see the front of my scalp which before it was just my temples effected :(

I wont say that u have or havent got male pattern baldness, but for some people those areas can be naturally thinner. DO u have older pics?

In these 3 pics this was taken at a clinic I used to use - For 1 year so I would say Month 1 was Nov 2016 (Those 3 pics were only Minoxidil)

Since 1 month now, I've introduced Finastride and since bringing that in I really feel it's obviously doing something, it's reacting but for sure it's thinning the front area in the 1 month I have been on it

I said minoxidil doesn't work that well on temple area which is true, you idiot. Do a research before you dislike me.

By the way, if you wanna wh*** out for likes I suggest using Instagram :)

Did Finastride work for you Alpha? Did you post any pics your before and after?

I'm not on Finasteride yet bro. Only minoxidil and it has improved both my crown AND temples. Don't know what this random is talking about he is using literally nothing accord to his regimen.

Besides, just ride it our bro. Your hair looked way worse before according to the Belgravia pictures in my opinion. I can send you before and after pictures privately if you want to see the progress of my temples.

Yes please that would be cool

But your just on minoxidil - I already did that for 2 years, as you can see in the Belgravia pics

Now I am on minoxidil and also finastride to try to power this up
