Is it finally time for finasteride?

[themiz1234]

It has been quite the time since I posted! Here are some updated pics, I just got a refill for another year of finasteride and was reminded of here. My hair is obviously longer which makes it look better. Also, I didn't shower and had minoxidil in my hair right before I took these pics, so it's a mess. Overall, definite improvement.

Note* I still use minoxidil just once a day, I have always been lazy to start twice! But I really should do twice a day.

That looks like a great improvement. I mean comparing some of ur baseline pics you were almost bald at the midscalp, and now you can cover the whole area, although still somewhat thin.

Do minoxidil 2/day...it made a difference for me vs 1/day while on 1mg finasteride ED.

dont you hate going about your day with minoxidil in your hair though? im contemplating going back to 2 times a day, but that morning application that lasts through the day is a big stretch lol

Your questioned wasn't directed at me. But I definitely find 2 times a day to be a hassle. My hair is a lot longer now than it's been in like years and I find the minoxidil makes my hair look really bad. However when I keep my haircut (mainly the bangs) tight I find the foam is pretty much unnoticeable.

Yes. I kind of cheat though in the mornings. Right when I wake up, I shower and then blow dry my hair til it's bone dry, apply minoxidil, and then finish my routine until I'm about to go to work. The last thing I do is then blow dry my hair again to dry out the minoxidil completely and then style my hair. All in all, the minoxidil will have been sitting in my hair 45-60 minutes minimum, so I figure it will have had to have some effect soaking into my brain before I dry it all out.

On the weekend in the morning, depending on what I'm supposed to do that day, I apply and then wear a hat or apply midday if I know I'm not going out somewhere. It requires some forethought.
