finasteride prevents DHT from attacking your hair follicles, minoxidil does not do this.
So first stabilize your hairloss with finasteride and in the process if u do see substantial growth then you don't need minoxidil. You start both finasteride and minoxidil at the same time you won't know which one is working and the sheds will be massive because, lets face it, both minoxidil and finasteride cause sheds.
Remember that some ppl don't shed as much and it works differently for diofferent ppl
