Started Finasteride, should I use Rogaine as well?

[tommboy2]

Hey guys I'm 22 probably about a Norwood 2 or 3. I have started taking 1mg of finasteride every day as well Rogaine foam twice a day. My big concern is the front of the scalp around the temples and my hairline. My question is whether or not it's worth using the Rogaine foam twice a day every day. Will it regrow enough hair or keep the hair I have atleast for an extended period of time? I plan on getting a hair transplant but I don't want to even think about it for atleast 3-5 years if I don't have to. (I'm only 22).

Will it be benefcial enough for me, and be worth the extra time I have to spend every day using the Rogaine if I am only applying it to the front hairline and temples? (I'm not worried about much else)

Also for my case would it be beneficial to throw in nizoral shampoo 2-3 times a week?
What about Tricomin?

If you can afford all three I'd do it. The sooner you start treating it the
more likely you will slow it down or reverse it.

rogaine does not slow hair loss. But it does do regrowth. If you are super thin in front, it would take 5 seconds to smear the foam around on the scalp. You should do it. You might regrow all your hair if you respond well. But you won't do that without rogain. Propecia can regrow some, but is mostly to maintain.

Rogain foam gave me good results overall including the front of the scalp, the zone is ticker then it was because of the minoxidil. I am following the others in recommending you to spend some time to put on the foam with the use of oral finasterid.

Great I also have decided it's worth the time, I'm just curious though how much does it regrow and how long will I keep this extra "regrown hair" I know theres no exact answer but can you atleast give me an idea of other peoples results?

I've decided to use 2mg of finasteride every day
I'm going to also pick up some nizoral and use that 2-3 times a week

I use Propecia for about 2 years I think. Went on Rogaine on about 5-6 months now, Noticed a huge difference around the 4th month.
