Hair Loss Story! Opinions??

[LowKeyBalding]

Hi everyone.

So basically I started noticing my temples receding last year (I'm 19) and I want to do everything I can to prevent further hair loss.

I've been on my regime for 4 months now since March. My current regime is:

.5mg finasteride everyday
5% minoxidil 2x a day
Nizoral 2x a week
Daily biotin and zinc pill

This was my hair 4 months ago (sorry about the lighting I should of taken better photos.) I do not see any good results but when I first started my regime I went through a bad shed. My hair got better after that but I still think its worse than before I started. I shed less tho since I've been on finasteride but I still think it's getting worse.

Before:







After: (I've been growing my hair out for a while)




What do you guys think? I'm thinking of increasing my finasteride dosage to 1mg. I went through some small sides when I first started taking finasteride but I think it was mostly the placebo effect. I am 100% side free now

Your hair looks like mine did when I was 19m still good, but yeah your regime is fine, not much more you can do. Give it time, take lots of photos and if you're below baseline after 1 year, consider dutasteride. It's a waiting game now.

I appreciate the feedback. Do you think I should increase my finasteride dose from .5 to 1mg?

Yeah, stick onto your current regime, and wait for results ....u can consider shifting to 1mg maybe after the 6 month mark, if at all u feel no effects showing! all the best!!
