Does anyone know if propecia helps you hold on to the hair in the front of your head?

Dakota,

In my opinion, it can be just as effective in the front as in the crown.

Mind you, this is not a typical case, but take a lok at these Propecia/Rogaine before/after photos.

Most of the benefit is seen in the crown and the midzone. I do see patients with finer vellus like hairs in the front that they notice, but not stronger terminal hairs. It is not as beneficial for the frontal hairline.
