I'm mid-20's and have been taking Finasteride 1.25mg for a little over a month now. I wouldn't consider my hair loss significant at all yet -- in fact the hair specialist I consulted told me he didn't think I was balding abnormally (though he did find miniaturization near the hairline, and didn't want to prescribe me anything). At my behest, I got the scrip for finasteride, but he advised me to wait on minoxidil and I agree. I'm not interested in starting it now or ever.
My question is -- have people found much success adding Nizoral to a finasteride-only regimen? I heard it can thicken up the hairs that are present, and also that a study established it may be somewhat effective when compared with minoxidil. Again, I want to avoid ever starting minoxidil so this seems like an appealing option. Since 1% is OTC, I'd prefer to stick with that, and maybe use it more often?
On the other hand, I don't know what my progress with finasteride will be yet, and I don't want to add something to the routine that doesn't contribute (or makes things worse!)
Thanks for the opinions, guys!
