Which out of the big 3 is best for temple regrowth?

[hairer]

Is Propecia better than nizoral or Regaine/Rogaine for temple regrowth? Currently on 1mg Propecia for about 2 weeks now.

Minoxidil, but you need to stay on Propecia while taking it.

Why minoxidil?

 

[Norwood One]

minoxidil is a growth stimulant. Propecia is an anti androgen, it can halt hairloss but only seldom does it show some substantial regrowth/

Mixing the two things gives you an optimal cocktail, one stops further hairloss, other grows the hair.

What happens if you use propecia and then stop with it? Will it affect you in some way regarding the hairloss?

If you drop finasteride then you will lose all your progress. finasteride is basically a lifetime commitment

 

[Hairlossyoyo]

Propecia to keep, minoxidil to regrow.

Doesn't finasteride really got the same success-rate as minoxidil in terms of regrowth among users? Like 48% or something. minoxidil isn't effective with everyone.

You won't know how you react unless you try, but do both finasteride and minoxidil together or it's not usually worth it all.

I'm already on the big 3. I'm just questioning that minoxidil is a better growth stimulant than finasteride. The most impressive results I've seen was on finasteride, not on minoxidil. I think minoxidil may be the better at regrowing hair if you're only losing hair on the temple, while finasteride will be better on the crown and midscalp.

Generally finasteride is for maintenance not regrowth but without finasteride you are fighting a losing battle

 

[shookwun]

Maitenance essentially goes in hand with regrowth on finasteride.

so much misinformation within this thread. Almost all regrowth and maintenance is contributed to finasteride, not the other way around.


Sorry but minioxidil is a spoof, and generally doesn't work on any one. Studies show it is synergistic with the combination of finasteride in a regimen though.

 

[Goldee Lox]

Liquid finasteride, hands down. It attacks it right at the source. And it averages around a reduction of eighty percent. Don't believe it? I can show
you a non funded government study.

Combine the liquid finasteride with minoxidil, and you have a two method of attack going on.

Lots of people regrow hair on Propecia, and this is especially true in the middle of the forehead and vertex. But it usually is not true for the temple area.

Minoxidil isn't the first line of attack, that's true. But for people just starting to lost hair, it definitely has some benefits. And it also works on the front, somewhat on the temples (if you start young enough, otherwise no), and the vertex. And it probably slows hair loss down in the front. But it's true, it definitely is not anywhere near as powerful as finasteride.

Where do you buy liquid finasteride?

 

[diehunnen123]

minoxidil for sure

I've seen amazing temple regrowth from people on oral spironolacetone!! Finasteride will not regrow temple hair. It will merely give yoUr follicles a reprieve from the assault of DHT. Nizoral will sort out your dandruff and not much else.

My temples grew back and I was on finasteride alone...

Arguably none.

Then you are a very lucky bunny who shouldn't be here.

minoxidil gave me some initial growth, I stupidly stopped it for a few months, on re-starting again it only maintained for a few years until doing nothing.

Started on propecia 6 months ago, early signs of regrowth in the forehead area, also, it's denser in the hairline at the temples but I'm not sure it's advancing.

There were signs of density as well overall but I must be going through a shedding at the moment because the last week or so it's pretty thin.

So basically yes, I believe finasteride should cause re-growth in the temples as much, or more, than minoxidil.
