Propecia With No Rogaine - How Good Is It?

Hey guys

I can't seem to be consistent with applying rogaine twice a day. I hate how it makes my hair look, feel and I'm always on the run, traveling, and whatnot.

I am about to get propecia - But before I did, what could I expect with taking the drug, WITHOUT applying rogaine?

I'm happy if I stop my hairloss, if I'm able to grow back the hair the fell out due to applying rogaine, and if I can restore any other, I'd be happy too.

Thank you for the help!

You can get really good results with just finasteride (propecia). Minoxidil (rogaine) isn't really worth it in my opinion because you have to take it indefinitely keep any results. Plus it ages skin.

Add in some Nizoral 3x a week to help with scalp inflammation and thickness.

I think you can do it. This guy got his hair back in 4 months with just finasteride.

He was exceptionally lucky and should not be looked at as the norm.
To OP using finasteride instead of rogaine is smarter than using just rogaine. Rogaine results last only a few years if it works and finasteride results can last longer than a decade if it works. Using both would increase the life span of rogaines results.

I know the guy in the video got a lot of hair back, but he is still rocking like a Norwood 2 or 3. It was really bad before, but he is still clearly balding with a nice receded hairline.

finasteride alone didn't yeild much of a cosmetic benefit for me besides maintaining what i HAD.


once I added minoxidil into the picture, my hair became healthy, thicker and more fuller in appearance.


both are essential.
