Start of Treatment

[Signals]

I really think I'm ready to start some form of treatment.

I'd say I'm currently a 1.5. Thick all over the head, but my hairline is creeping back with miniturisation on the hairline.

Do I need to use minoxidil with finasteride? Does minoxidil work alone?

I've messed around with natural supplements for a while but I think whilst that may have slowed down the progress, I feel I need to get on finasteride now.

I'm 23, is it that much to worry about? Will it thicken the hairs which are starting to miniturise?

I don't want to wait any longer, I want to catch it now and I feel finasteride is going to be the only possible way to stop my hair loss.

Any advice would be great - thanks.

Minoxidil will grow hair and thicken your existing hair while you take it, but without finasteride, your hair loss will continue to progress over the years. Nizoral may be a mildly effective alternative to finasteride if your hair loss isn't that bad, but the research is limited and anecdotal evidence is not conclusive. finasteride is the safest bet.
