Hello everyone,
First message here and not an english native speaker so in advance I apologize for the possible spelling and grammar mistakes. I'm 28, Norwood 1.5 diffuse thinner with a good amount of hair but way thinner than before. It's now noticeable at the front of my head + I clearly can't do my hairstyle anymore (I use Toppik since a week, it helps a bit). I started using Minoxidil one year ago for 6 months, then I stopped and logically after 3 months, lost every single hair gained with it. I decided to start again 2 months ago and after a huge shedding, like HUGE - about a month later, it was way worse than baseline - now it's beginning to get better.
I'm now on Finasteride since a month and I don't know if it's going to work for me but while already on Minoxidil, it's going to be very difficult to say if it helps or not. If I stop Minoxidil, I will lose again all the hair gained while on it but if I decide to stop anyway, I would hardly be able to tell how Finasteride is helping me before at least one year. I mean I coulnd't tell before a while and I could lose more and more hair during this year, making all the thing worse.
So... Any advice?
