Maintenance question

[unluckystat]

I am about to start taking finasteride and I was wondering, for most responding users do they maintain their hair to the point where it was when treatment started or does it normally mean you maintain the hair that you have once you start responding?

It differs from case to case, but in general, if you are a responder, the hair you have on the day you take your first dose of finasteride, you will keep.
(at least for a few years)

unluckystat, why is your name unluckystat? Do you think you are a non-responder, or something? Just curious.

I've only been using minoxidil, azelaic acid and spironolactone for a week now and im gonna start finasteride soon. I'm 19 and I'm thinning, there are barely any people my age that have to worry about this, hence the name.

How long have you been on finasteride? Are you still losing or are you possibly maintaining?
