I have been on finasteride for about 1 year 3 months and I am 26 years old. It has done a great job at restoring crown, and slowing down/stopping hairline corners (i think).

My question is has anybody seen that hairline/hairline corner growth come in around the year and a half mark or later? I started finasteride pretty early on (before any hair loss was detectable/just one side of hairline a little receded back) so its hard for me to tell how hard its working/where i would be without it

thanks guys!

I saw regrowth happen years later, like 5 years. And I maintained it for over a decade. Every few years I would see some regrow.

br1 the finasteride guru bless us with regrowth.

I think the speed of regrowth all really depends on your natural hair cycle and how aggressive your hair loss is. Like mine is slow and my hair miniaturize at a slow rate. So I think it will take longer for those hairs to come back healthy bc it took them a while to get that small.

Moral of the story is if your going to try finasteride then try it early on verses waiting until your Norwood 5. Also if you get good results on finasteride I would really think about quitting before doing it because there are no guarantees your going to get those same results again even if it seems you would. I guess to me its a bit silly when someone responds really well and maintains for many years then decides to throw it all away for a silly reason. Like flushing a winning lottery ticket down the toilet
