From my own experience, and I believe it's one shared with others, it is difficult.
My fairly "extreme" regimen give me excellent growth everywhere except my hairline and temples, where it remains as vellus at best. I'm not sure exactly why, but I suspect that as this area is often the first to be lost it may well be way outisde the "recovery window" by the time we start to take medication to fix it.

Finasteride is useless on the hair temple.
Minoxidil is your best bet. If that does not work, your final option will be a hair transplant.

After a year i gotta admit daily big 3 on finasteride+rogain foam+ and weekly nizoral shampoo and no improvment on the front really, id say my back of my head hasnt improved either will give it another year but am already just considering the hair transplant but will see.
Id have thought finasteride was helping but dunno really, rogain foam has produced very tiny small hairs at my hair line where ive lost my hairs but its no good if there not normal hairs.....
Am definatly gonna do my son a favour if I ever have one and slip him some finasteride @ age 17-18 and ill tell him too us nizoral shampoo twice a week/ no chance gonna put my own thru a nightmare lol
Will consider hair transplant..... just a shame hair cloning isnt out I think it will be another 10 years before we even get a glimmer of it and by my 40s lifes already half gone lol
