Hi guys 1 year ago i started with minoxidil and i went from this: https://imgur.com/CoH7Nlh to this: https://imgur.com/gte9Xrd in 4 months, 2 months later I started shedding and now I look like this (shaved head): https://imgur.com/yAUitlC

It's going worse and minoxidil doesnt work anymore, so I started taking finasteride and I want to buy a dermaroller but I don't know which size to pick up, I thought of buying 0.3 and another one of 0.75, my question is, can I apply onion water, avocado oil or other products after 0.75 mm wounds? I read somewhere to never apply minoxidil after 0.5mm sessions but natural products? Also I saw guys using 1.5 for hair regrowth stimulation, is it good buying 3 and using 1.5 once a month? What do you recommend me buying?

I hope y ou can share with me your experiences I am having trouble dealing with this being this young.

How minoxidil stopped working this fast after an amazing results, I still do not understand.

Started finasteride when? Take a full pill of finasteride for now and minoxidil everyday. I don't know what derma rolling will really do, but I have a .5 micron and it makes my scalp red. anything over .5 for me hurts too much. I don't derma roll. I mostly rely on finasteride and Rogain, and vitamins.

And you look like you have decent coverage still. Hopefully the rogain will help make any "baby" hair get thicker and help coverage.

Started finasteride 3 days ago, I will buy 0.5 and 0.75 I think. I've been taking minoxidil for 1 year but at the 6th month started shedding non stop. Can I apply minoxidil after 0.75 wounds? what about natural products?

You're 20 years old with severe hair loss. Get on dutasteride.

It is very weird that minoxidil stopped workin after only 4 months especially if it seems to work at first. :/ Did you order the same brand ? Were you using foam or liquid? One or two times a day ? And how did you store it ?

minoxidil is still working, your hair would be even worse without it. You just have such aggressive hair loss that the amount of stem cell proliferation that minoxidil can stimulate is not enough to overcome the amount of DHT attacking the follicles. Now that you're on finasteride that hair should grow back as long as you keep using minoxidil, and stay as long as you keep using finasteride. Nobody knows what is best as far as dermarolling goes. .3 can be used every few days or even every day. I wouldn't suggest using 1.5mm more than once a week. You can apply anything after wounding, it will just increase the absorption, and it might sting a little.

Thanks for explaining, I will use 0.5mm twice a week and 1mm every 2 weeks.

I will start with finasteride and when I end my box I will see if It's right to swap to dutasteride since it's stronger
The odds are heavily in your favour. Give treatment 18 to 24 months before coming to a conclusion about its effectiveness.

Same brand 2ml every 24 hours, I think my dht increased, I am really hairy guy and I produce muscle without training, my hairline has been receding since 16 years old, hopefully finasteride works really well on me.
