Hi. I discovered this forum a few days and have found it very informative.
Here's my story:
I'm 31 years old and am probably about a 3.5 on the norwood scale. I started receeding about 12 years ago and by 25 I was getting concerned so started taking Finestaride. After about 2 years I realised that this had not stopped my hairloss so stopped taking it and started 5% minoxidil.
This worked great as it thickened my hair and I even grew a few new hairs on my hairline. I was really pleased. That was 4 years ago, about 8 months ago I noticed that my hair has started to thin again so the minoxidil must be stopping working.
What do you recommend I do? will a higher strength minoxidil kick start the process?
Has anyone else had the same problem?
I don't think finestaride works for me so what else can I try on top of minoxidil.
