rogaine/xandrox question-just starting

[captainbender]

hi,
i'm worried that i might be starting to get male pattern baldness. might is the key here-i have no idea if i'm right and no one to ask. so, i am concerned about potentially doing harm to my hair by using rogaine if i don't actually need it (ie my hair is fine and i'm just being paranoid). does anyone have insight about this? thanks in advance!

If you don't need regrowth than skip the minoxidil. Get on finasteride if you notice any really thin and shorter hairs popping up. finasteride should slow the thinning. Miinox may reverse the thinning in indicvidual hairs, but will not prevent other hairs from thinning and thus requiring minoxidil to thicken them. Finasteride is better for maintenance so think about it.
