Hello everyone. My name is Adam and I am new on here but not new to male pattern baldness as it has been very common issue within my family. I have been battling it since I have been 18 years old. Finally I did something about it by taking finasteride ,minoxidil and biotin combo pill and had amazing results. I have rebranded my YouTube Channel to document my Hair Loss Journey since I also just got a Hair Transplant here in the USA. Attached is the link to my first video and would appreciate your support in subscribing to my channel as I share my experiences with the medications and my Hair transplant. As a bonus, I am also giving away 2 free Amazon Giftcards! Link to Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfdayfTtMSs Also, I am attaching some before and after pictures to show the success of the combo pill that I took. More pictures to share in the next YouTube video!! Lets get our hair back together!!

Hello, I'm 30 years old from the UK and have been dealing with a receding hairline for roughly 4 years now. I don't know when it started but it became noticeable around 3/4 years ago when my right temple was no longer level with my left temple. I've been fairly fortunate in that my left temple seems to have stayed or receded only slightly but my right temple keeps receding by like 1/4 cm each year lol. I'd like to get my hairline back to NW1 and when I consulted a local hair transplant clinic in North London he recommended 2000 Grafts. Is this enough? I started taking Finasteride 1mg 3x/week in Oct 2021. I noticed a lack of libido and morning wood after a few months but decided to carry on to see if it would subside. After 7 months of not getting morning wood very often I decided to stop a month ago and within 3 weeks I've been getting morning wood almost daily. I'm going to wait another month for the Fin to hopefully "flush" out of my system and then I will get back on it at 0.5mg 3x/week and monitor the progress. I know how important Fin is to stop further loss but if it means losing physical function downstairs I think I'd rather go bald I had a haircut today and the sides/back were shaved down to Grade 1. I have taken photos of my hair/scalp in the harshest light I had available. Thanks for reading!

After seeing all these posts about Finasteride I thought I would chime in with my experience on using it and Minoxidil. Quick Brief Hair Loss background: Started losing my hair at about 16 or 17. My temples were gone at that age so it was visibly noticeable. They have remained the same. When I was 18 I was a norwood 2, when I was 19 I was a norwood 3. And when I was 20 I went from Norwood 3 to Norwood 5 in a span of 6 months. My family history has indications of hair loss with my mothers side generally progressing to Norwood 4s at around 40-60. And my fathers side generally progress to Norwood 5s anywhere between 30-50. Nearing the age of 21, I decided to see if there was anything I could do about it. I have never heard of hair loss medication before this and frantically researched and that's when I read about Finasteride and Minoxidil. In February of 2021 shortly before I turned 21 I started medications of Finasteride and Saw Palmetto, starting minoxidil a month later due to delivery issues. After being on Finasteride/Saw Palmetto for two weeks, I started to get what I believed were side effects. Sex Drive was inconsistent, either higher than before or lower. After about a month on being on those medications those side effects subsided and back to normal. Same thing with Minoxidil, the first month though I had what I believed were side effects. Very itchy scalp, would go a bit red after application. Had heart palpitations when trying to sleep 2-3 times but those eventually subsided and have been without side effects for over a year on all medications. Here are the baseline images before medication. This is me at 20 (almost 21), I was a Norwood 5 going on slick bald. There is no indication of me going into a Norwood 6. The photos do not show this but I believe I had retrograde alopecia that would eventually thicken due to my usage of medication. These were taken my dermatologist so I cannot replicate the lighting as well in other photos. I should mention that my hair was long as I was experimenting growing it out and then went from Norwood 3 to Norwood 5 in 6 months. This is my hair grown out long for around a year. Sorry for the poor cropping, I read that you want to include the eyebrows to determine hairline height and such so I tried to crop what was needed while maintaining the eyebrows for this reason. Below are my 13 month results on Finasteride and 12 Months on Minoxidil. The lighting/camera isn't perfect. These were taken on a lower quality lens on my phone. The lighting is quite harsh and has overheard bathroom lighting on it. These photos were used when I consulted with my surgeon and they believed I was a good candidate after sending them. I will also state that I was at the peak of a shedding phase due to reasons that are elaborated below in may pictures. Same situation Here are some photos taken in May, in a much less harsh lighting. One of them was facing a window with morning lighting, the one was facing away from that window. And here are some photos taken in July. Please note that after May (two days after the photos above) I broke the tool I use for applying minoxidil and started to use a makeshift substitute. I was not able to get correct dosages or apply it directly the scalp so it would stick on hair and was eventually be combed off my head. I then shedded a bit and am still recovering (This isn't the first time its happened). It has improved a bit from the photos below. If you would look like examples photos showing my hair shedding then regrowing I can provide them if requested. These were taken on a better quality camera. If anyone has any questions or input on these. Let me know, I am quite happy about the Finasteride/Minoxidil results but am still not overall satisfied with my hair. I am getting a Hair Transplant with Dr Hasson nearing the end of the year. 4000-4500 Grafts for the Hairline, Front working back into the midscalp if necessary. I will also be updating this thread because I will need to discontinue minoxidil for 6 weeks before the surgery to undergo the hair transplant, I will document and show the shedding to determine what is doing the most heavy lifting Finasteride or Minoxidil?

Hey guys -- so just wanted to start a thread to keep track of my Finasteride journey/progress. I officially started taking it on December 1, 2021! I meant to start this thread on the 1st, but was too busy with work so that's why this thread is being started on the 2nd instead. 😛 Some quick basic stats about me: 34 years old, both my father (in his 70s) and brother (soon to be 40) are NW7. My brother's hair loss was much more aggressive than mine. I first started noticing my front (minor) thinning at 19 or 20. I pretty much did NOTHING until I was 28 years old when my friend convinced me to get on Minoxidil. I've been on Minoxidil (Kirkland brand) consistently for 6 years now (only apply once every evening). Only my front hairline has sustained the brunt of the hair loss/thinning/miniaturization. My crown is holding up quite well, but there seems to be signs of thinning. I've been able to conceal my frontal thinning without detection for over a decade now thanks to how I style my hair. Just want to quickly acknowledge and thank fellow forum member @Gatsby for convincing/motivating me to get on Fin. My plan is to take 1mg of Fin every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in order to preemptively avoid any potential negative sides. Also shout out to @giegnosiganoefor suggesting I get some lab work done (testosterone, estradiol, DHT) in order to establish a baseline before I get on Fin. I should be getting those results back within the next 2-3 days. I'll make sure to post it on here. I've taken some photos today, which I will post/update the thread later on with (once I edit my face out), but my main goal is to track my journey in real-time and to hopefully inspire others along the way (especially those who are hesitant of taking the drug due to the notoriety it seems to garner...I get it. I was the same way too!). Anyways, I plan on updating the thread on the 1st of every month. So you should be seeing my next update on the new year. If for any reason I begin to experience negative sides then this thread/journey will unfortunately be cut short, but I hope that's not the case and I do hope this thread will continue to prosper long into the future. So thanks in advance to those who decide to follow along on my Fin journey! 😎 EDIT: Photos from 12/01/21 have now been added.

Public Service Announcement! You can get Propecia brand name (not generic Finasteride) for 93% discount at Walmart with Plus membership. So I've been wanting to switch over to brand name as well as 1mg to avoid inconsistent dosages from cutting. Rx was sent over to Walgreens and sure enough my insurance would not cover it. Using Good Rx app or website, the best discount brought the price from $416 to $321 for 90 pills. Then I came across a post online that said if you have Walmart Plus membership, you get exclusive pricing. You're actually able to check costs right from this link without any membership: As you can see from attached image, the price is $23.50. So I immediately signed up for 1 month of Plus service and tested it out. Worked out just as planned. I don't think I've seen a cheaper option in the USA. This 90 supply lasts me 6 months as I only take 1mg every other day. That works out to roughly $3.92 per month I hope this helps others out.

Where to buy finasteride & minoxidil in France? Which brands do you recommand? -
Today officially marks my 12 months of having started Dutasteride and i wanted to share my experience using the medication. Firstly i always felt like i was more conscious of my hair loss from a younger age when my temple points began to recede in my mid teens even if i didn't always understand what was happening until now in my late 20s and 30s when i began to research more around hair loss. I think like many i learned about Minoxodil in my late teens/early 20s and tried it but i didn't want to Finasteride because i was swayed by the horror stories at the time of your pens no longer working if you get side affects. It basically took me almost a decade later to do research again and realise the proper clinical studies and data. Side affects are a concern and i am not going to sit here and tell you i didn't have any. I did, HOWEVER this was during the phase where i literally crashed my body serum DHT circa 90% by taking Dutasteride 0.5mg everyday from the get go. I felt like i'd already left it late enough to start and went very aggressive. As a result, my initial experiences were noticing more brain fog, my libido took a noticeable hit and tbh, i think there was mood swings there too but i cannot fully associate that to the medication because i had some stress in my personal life at the time that could have been a reason too. After 2-3 months, my body was much more adapted and levelled out to the lower DHT levels in my body and i no longer can say i feel brain fog is an active concern at all. My libido has rebounded and normalised to maybe 85-90% of where i think it was. My moods more normal but also my life situation is significantly different. Full disclosure too, i had a Vitamin D deficiency identified via blood test which was addressed by prescription level Vit D ampules and then regular Vit D tablets of 1k to 4k IU. I also did Microneedling during this time but i was not very strict with doing it every week or so as i wanted to. I started with a 0.3mm derma roller but then purchased a larger size and eventually went to 1.5mm for once a week. Also eventually got a Derma Pen but like i said, i haven't been using it regularly enough. So, that's enough of that. Here's the pictures. May 2021 (Age 31) when i started and now May 2022 (Age 32). Sorry for the different lighting but i don't think it stops you seeing a difference from when i started till now. The brightest pictures are 2022. My crown area feels thinner, but i feel it's my hair loss paranoia exaggerating my feelings on it however i do think that Dutasteride should hopefully continue to help me. In terms of medication, i would always say to somebody if you have concerns. Do a full blood work test for yourself, taper your use to allow your body to adapt with maybe starting 3x a week and then increasing dosage every month by 1 day till you are comfortable at 1mg everyday of Finasteride or 0.5mg of Dutasteride etc. I am going to go for a hair transplant with Eugenix on May 19th 2022 and due to fly out hopefully soon. I will be making a separate thread for this

Hello, I have been using this spray since like 6 months as prescribed by my HT surgeon. Good part is I am not facing any effects. OR Is there a better topical product? I personally think I should continue using this topical (fin and min) even after my 2nd HT sitting is done. I feel like Tugain solution from Cipla(FINASTERIDE 0.1%+MINOXIDIL 5%) might be a better product in terms of quality. Just curious to know your feedback if anyone used those topical solution or suggest if you have better solutions. Just want to keep existing and transplanted hairs healthy. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks

Hi. I'm 12 days post-op FUE Hair transplant and I'm thinking to start PRP sessions to stimulate hair growth on the transplanted and thinning areas. Few questions comes in mind while I'm thinking about this and it's listed below. 1. Can I start PRP session 14 days post operation? 2. What is the minimum number of days/weeks before each PRP session? 3. How many PRP sessions do I need to make sure its effectiveness? Another side question regarding post-op FUE HT is this -- when can I start using a regular shampoo and not a baby shampoo after the transplant? I was using Avalon Organics Biotin + B-complex shampoo and conditioner before my HT and it's actually a really mild shampoo(almost the same as the baby shampoo), so I was thinking if I can replace the baby shampoo with this and probably help a little bit in stimulating hair growth. Any answers or suggestions are welcome. Thank you guys

I have been on oral Fin 1mg daily for over 12 months without even stabilisation. I switched to Dut recently and take 0.5mg every day. Does this mean my progress has ‘reset’ and I need to wait another 6 months before being able to determine whether Dut works, or it should be much sooner since I have already been on Fin which suppressed DHT already? Anyone who still lost ground on Fin and switched to Dut can share their experiences? -
Hi All, Would love some opinions on my hair loss situation. I’m looking to get a HT to restore my hairline and add some density to the Centre of the hairline. My father is a Norwood 7 I’d say, and my mother has some brothers on her side of the family that are also Norwood 7s so it’s definitely in my family. I’m 35 and have been on finasteride for over 2 years. Ive had a couple of online consultations with some clinics with the most hopeful ones being: HLC - who estimate 2500 - 3000 grafts to restore the hairline and, FueCap - who similarly said 2500+ Bicer - estimated 3500+ I have some concerns around the the sides of my head being slightly weak / pretty light hair (retrograde alopecia?) Ive always been really conscious about my receding hairline and recently it’s really starting to get to me. So I would love some thoughts on my pictures and the clinics listed above?

Hi guys, would I be a good candidate for a HT? 29 yo and been on oral finasteride 1 mg every day and topical minoxidil 5% once a day for 2 years now. TL;DR: Hair still thin and scalp shows despite 2 years of treatment. Huge bald patch at crown and diffuse thinning on midscalp. Thinking of HT to fix it up. How many grafts would I need, and should I leave the hairline untouched? First three pics are before I started any treatment, next 3 pics are after a year on fin and min, next 3 pics are very recent and after 2 years on fin and min, and the last pic is also very recent and shows my current hairline. I suspect I might have DUPA, since my hair loss seems to be all over the scalp including the side of my head (2nd baseline pic for reference). I'm slightly disheartened by the fact that you can still see my scalp through my hair even after 2 years of treatment. Obviously there's been massive improvement since baseline, but my hair's still not where I want it to be. I'm unwilling to take dutasteride and oral minoxidil. Only thing I haven't implemented yet is microneedling. Bought a 1.5 mm dermaroller recently and thinking about giving it a good shot for 6-12 months before deciding whether I need a transplant. If I were to get a HT in the future, I'd ideally want it to thicken up my midscalp and crown and fix my temple recession. How many grafts do you reckon I'd need? Would I be better off leaving my hairline untouched, since it's already pretty decent and the hairline is apparently one of the toughest things to get right? Looking forward to hearing your opinions and advice. Thanks for reading! P.S. Excuse the corny emojis, just wanted to hide my eyes for the sake of privacy

As you would expect, I'm asking this question to know whether it's a good idea to use Topical Finasteride/gel instead of tablets post hair transplant to avoid "potential" side effects of oral form. Have you used it? Have you found it to be as effective as oral form? What is the general consensus? Is there a reasonable confidence? I see some old posts in this forum that refers to a Topical Fin from Hasson & Wong. Is that and the general results about "Topical FInasteride" that show up in google about same thing? NCBI article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6609098/ Forum old posts: Thanks in advance. -
Before I begin, I would like to thank this incredible forum for it's immense wealth of knowledge and diverse experiences. Even being a silent spectator has been great learning journey. Talking about journeys - I've thoroughly enjoyed the excellent write-ups from @MazAB @paddyirishman @rishibostonian @Fluffhead, @Wandererind (Just to name a few) which eventually played a crucial part in deciding to go for a HT. Special Thanks to @Melvin- Moderator for the recent Instagram live with the doctors from Eugenix, India - It was very detailed & insightful.My Background: I have been steadily losing hair from the age of 16 to the point that my hairline has receded quite a lot. I'm 29 (almost 30) now & at a NW grade 3 of baldness. My curly hair helps hide the receded hairline a bit & I had been ok with that up until last year.Eugenix consultation experience: I found this clinic while foraging through the amazing hair transformation stories on this forum. IMO Eugenix is one of the most professional clinics out here in India in terms of communication and business ethics. I love the fact that the doctors here look at HT from an artistic perspective which is very rare in this industry. Since mid last year, I had been dabbling with the idea of a HT and have been in touch with the clinic since then. I never faced any delays from them in answering the numerous questions I've thrown at them. Both Dr. Arika and the consultant I'm working with, have been nothing but patient; Recent Evaluation from Eugenix: 2500 - 2700 grafts on front scalp and Oral finasteride for the rest of the regression.Challenge: I tried Minoxidil when I was consulting with a Doctor from BLR, India. Tried it for 4 weeks. Had minor side effects like migraine and increased palpitations. Post this, we decided to discontinue using Min. Unfortunately, finasteride didn't work for me either. Some side effects cropped up between the 45 - 50 day mark and I decided to stop it completely. It's been close to 6 months I'm off Fin.What are my options going forward?Option A) Try getting back on oral finasteride again before going for a Hair transplant to see if I'm responding to the medication w/o side effects. This option was suggested by the consultant from Eugenix itself. They were completely transparent in communicating that Oral finasteride is the only option to save the existing hair before or after the HT and my side effects were most probably due to over-thinking (may or may not be true). As per the consultant, results from topical fin are not yet proven when compared to oral medication. How long should I be on Fin this time if I take this route? To be honest, I'm a bit taken aback by this and my enthusiasm about the transplant has taken a hit. Option B) Go ahead with the surgery without taking oral Fin This is a pretty risky option in my opinion. The consultant explained that I might end up losing the existing hair in a year or 4 post HT - which might be true and can't be predicted. Any thoughts and opinions are more than welcome. I would love to know if someone has been in the same boat as me. N.B. Please excuse my writing flow. -
Hi everyone, Just a quick question about the shedding phase of finasteride. I started taking it almost two months ago, so far no issues. I’ve spent a lot of time on Reddit hair loss forums, and it seems like everyday someone is posting a horror story about a dread shed. I’ve talked to my dermatologist, read numerous hair surgeon or doctor blogs, etc, and all of them say a shed is possible, but likely not very noticeable if noticeable at all, and their patients don’t really have them/complain about them. But I compare that to the posts I see on Reddit, and all I read is “ everyone sheds, it gets way worse before it gets better, trust the process.” Anyways, i was wondering if anyone here had a shed or lack of a shed, and if so, how bad was it? thanks for the input!

Hi all, I started losing my hair around the age of 16. Both my maternal and paternal sides lost hair at a young age. I started my hair loss journey at the age of 19 and began using topical minoxidil and finasteride daily. My hair improved drastically, and all miniaturisation was gone. But by 23, I found my hair had become unstable again, and the quality of my had become variable. I put this down to poor diet and stress, and this was when I implemented positive lifestyle changes; changing my diet, lowering my stress and creating an exercise regime. Another point I must stress is keeping your help healthy is vital! I found minoxidil can cause dandruff or even seborrheic dermatitis. Making sure I treated all this has significantly improved the quality of my hair. Also, regarding post-workout shakes, I use a product from help hair which is rich in biotin. By utilising these steps, I was able to maintain a Norwood 3 despite having an overly aggressive form of hair loss (if I didn't seek intervention I probably would have been an N4-5 by now). However, despite all the clean eating and medication, I knew that I would not be able to grow back areas which had no hair, so I started looking at surgical procedures. I had been considering the procedure since 19, but as a university student, I didn't have the funds. After doing my research, I had come to the following conclusions: I wanted a surgeon who worked locally or at least in Australia, as hair loss is a lifelong journey, not a day trip. I wanted a surgeon that would be more conservative and realistic with my hairline and the number of grafts. I wanted a hairline that didn't look receded and also one that wouldn't look like I had a hair transplant when I go into my 30s. For me, the goal is not to defy the natural ageing process, but to emulate someone who does not possess the gene for MPB. Plus, you can always get subsequent procedures 10 years down the track if you really want to lower your hairline further. I think its important to make sure your hair loss has stabilised. As a 25yo, I cannot be certain that this is the case. The consult I decided to go with Dr Vikram for the following reasons: He consulted with my prior (a lot of clinics will make you consult with a salesperson and not the surgeon). He expressed the same affinity towards safeguarding against future loss by performing a procedure that wouldn't decimate my donor area (e.g. recommending the 1200ish range and FUT procedure due to my age). His practice was near my apartment. He was well-spoken and seemed very engaged in new and emerging hair restoration technologies - check out his YouTube channel! He offered reasonably priced FUT procedures. What I had done I had FUT 1200 grafts + Regenera done. If you don't know about Regenera, look it up. It's similar to PRP - which you will see at many famous hair restoration clinics - but uses the tissue from the strip graft. The growth factors will be specific for hair and give the grafts the extra boost to survive and grow more quickly The surgery day step 1: draw out the hairline. step 2: receive a sedative that takes away the anxiety you might be feeling. step 3: numbing the front and back of the scalp. To me, this feels like a cat scratch. step 4: removing the strip step 5: making the holes that the grafts will go in. Not painful but creates a unique sound. step 6: planting the grafts reapplying local as it starts to fade. It doesn't hurt as the area is quite numb. step 7: injecting the Regenera into the recipient area. Step 8: injecting a long-lasting local into the back again, so you feel minimal pain that night. Comments: his staff were also fantastic. The head nurse was very motherly, attentive and brought great positivity to the operating room. I am currently one-day post-op, feeling mild pain from the donor area. However having had my wisdom teeth removed a few months prior, I can say with certainty; this is nowhere near as bad. I will update you all as I progress. Thanks again to Dr Vikram and the team at the Knudsen clinic.

Hi everyone, I've been steadily losing hair since I was around 26 (I'm 32 now) and I'm weighing up my options. I'm currently toying with the idea of getting a hair transplant and then starting finasteride afterwards to help with the native hair. Looking at my pictures does this seem like a viable option, and if so, what would you estimate at a graft count? I should mention that I've never taken finasteride or minoxidil, only biotin, niacin, zinc and iron for just under a year with pretty much no results. Any input/advice would be most appreciated. Thanks for your time and I hope you're all doing well.

Hello, I would like to ask you what alternative methods are there to Finasteride that do not have side effects that would endanger my sex life. So, I have been on Finasteride for six months, 1 mg three times a week. What I'm afraid of is always having to use a condom during intercourse, and how I'm going to tell my romantic partner that I'm on a drug like this, not to mention the risks if we want to have children. I haven't noticed any side effects, my erection is fine. In any case, I would prefer to switch to something that may not be as effective, but I don't have to stress about how I share this information with my romantic partner. What are your views on this?

Hi all. Im new here and im Portuguese. So sorry if my english isnt the best. I have a question and i will try to not make it confuse. I started oral Minoxidil and Finasteride like 2 weeks ago. Prescribed by my doctor. I have MPB. I know that drugs have different mechanisms. One is a stimulant and the other is a Dht blocker. But in term of results they are similar. Hair growth, tickness etc... I read and saw on youtube some guys that took Minoxidil for like 2 or 2.5 years and lost all their gains because they werent taking Finasteride. I started both drugs at same time. So lets suppose that in 1 year i will have results in thickness, growth etc. How will i know if both drugs are working? Or if its only Minoxidil working? I ask this because i can be taking both drugs, and in 2 or 3 years i lose all my gains only to discover in that moment, that only minoxidil was working and not finasteride. Not only i lose minoxidil gains and also i lose 2 or 3 years of keeping hair because i was thinking that finasteride was working. I know that doctors are specialists. But how can they say if both are working in 1 or 2 years without risk losing hair, time and money? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am 26 years old and considering a hair transplant (FUT, recommended 2500 grafts by Dr Cooley in Charlotte, NC). I am receding in front hair line and also thinning slighty in crown area, althought the worst is definitely the front third of my head. I wear my hair relatively long so I am able to hide the receding temples pretty well at this point. But when my hair gets wet or is not fixed, it bothers me very much. I wear a hat most days as I am very self-conscious about my hairline appearance. I have been on Propecia (1mg 3x per week) for about 9 months and rogaine once a day. It has certainly helped stop and thicken slightly. But, of course, this is not going to grow hair in the receeded hairline area. Luckily, I have experienced no side effects. Now, I am considering a transplant. Does anyone have any experience/advice to offer with regards to the below? - What is it like to get a transplant in 20s? Pros and cons? - Should I worry about hair looking patchy in future if I continue to lose hair after transplant? -Will having to stay on Propecia for the future cause issues longterm? Thanks! Looking forward to hearing people’s thoughts! -
I am a NW2 and aged 28. No sign of rapid baldness or hair loss. I have very slow progression of hair loss. I am planning for HT to lower my hairline little bit. I DONT WANT TO TAKE FINASTERIDE after transplant. My queries are.. Will all the transplanted hairs grow even if don't take finasteride after surgery? Does transplanted hair fall after sometime? or is it permanent? I have read the transplant hair also undergoes miniaturisation and eventually fall off. I comfortable being bald in my late 40s. But I am skeptical about whether my hairline will look bad if only surrounding native hairs fall out. -
Dear all, Its always a hot topic, Finasteride use and whether pre and post op hair transplant patients should take it. In the following video Dr Bhatti uses his expertise to explain away the phobias associated with Finasteride use and explains in detail the relationship with Testosterone levels. Again, a must see for so many of you out there. -
Good evening friends, I am 24 years old and have been suffering from hair loss since I was 21. I wanted to do an HT with Dr Kaan Pekiner. We did a Facetime, which I thought was really great. He said that if he did an op with me now, he would have a good result, but recommended that I start with Finasteride 0.5 mg first and generally strengthen the hair on the back of the head everywhere and then do the HT. I will start with Finasteride 0.5 + Regaine from now on. (Have used Regain for 5-6 months) Loved his honesty. My question to you ... has anyone had good experiences with finasteride with 0.5 mg? And what do you say about my hair status? Best regards
