Finasteride growth?

[ace83]

Hi all,

I had a FUE procedure about 14 months ago into my hairline. It was only about 500 graphs so didn't notice much result.

 

I have now been taking finasteride and saw palmetto for almost 6 months.

 

When I run my fingers through my hairline under bathroom light I notice a few very thin hairs (length of these hairs vary between 1cm-1.5cm. Some are almost colourless but if I look very carefull at some others because they are so thin look a bit brown like my natural hair colour.

 

Is this a sign of growth or will these hairs just stay like that?

 

Just curious to know if this is the finasteride or FUE working? Or just hairs that were always there and will never get thick?

 

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I didn't take decent pictures(I probably should of) but my hair is definitely a improvement from a year ago. I still have to wear toppik though to make my hair full.

 

Since using finasteride I have noticed less hair on my pillow and when washing hair.

 

After 2-3 weeks using finasteride I did shed only for a week or two and not anything noticeable.

 

But I guess I've recently noticed(because I was looking for any sign of growth) all those very thin brown or colourless hairs between my normal hair which made me wonder if this is some kind of growth? I hope they get thicker because there are quite a few.

 

I've tried to use minoxidil as well but I can't as I always get a allergic reaction.
