I have been on finasteride 1mg/day for almost 15 months now. From my experience, my hair got worse for the first 8 months of taking finasteride. I have had slight regrowth, but still look worse than I did 15 months before starting finasteride. Everyone has something different to say about what finasteride has done to their...

stay on for a full year then decide if you want to add minoxidil

Depends on so many factors. When did you start losing your hairline? How fast or rapid is your hairloss? How old are you? If you are under 30 and are NW2+, chances are you won't get your hairline back, you should be lucky to even maintain, but thats unlikely as well.

About the shedding at 6months, it is actually very normal for those on 1mg finasteride to experience shedding within the first 6 months. Honestly,there have been reports of people of their hair shedding even after a year. Sometimes there is an occasional shed which seems to be normal. Just keep...

I feel you man, I am 21 years old myself and hairline started to recede at 19. I recommend you get on finasteride as soon as you can. I have been on finasteride for about 10 months now and it is actually holding my hairline pretty well.

I haven't come across any studies but as long as your barber or stylist isn't too rough with your hair while cutting then I don't see how this could effect your hairloss or hair health.

Looks like male pattern baldness. Just like others have said, people always seem to think its not male pattern baldness related, but 99% of the time it is. Get on finasteride if you even want a shot of holding onto what you have.

If you have been doing well/above baseline for 4 years, then that is good! If you are losing ground after 4 years on finasteride, then I would get on dutasteride if i were you.

Yes, over 1.5 years, you have lost around your hairline area. I'm not sure how old you are and when your hairloss started but usually people who start losing their hair earlier at a young age tend to have more aggressive male pattern baldness. I would say most of the time those who lose their hair early in life...

Some have, but it's not likely.

I haven't been on the drug for 5 years+ like some users but have been on finasteride 1mg/day for 8 months now. I went through a minor shed when i started finasteride and was still losing hair for the first 6 months. Just recently my hairloss has slowed down a lot, so that's good news. For the...

Get checked by a hair transplant doctor/surgeon. From the pics im seeing, I would say you are in the early stages of recession.

Some will say that it does accelerate hairloss and some will say it doesn't. Even if you are lifting heavy which elevates testosterone levels, apparently it doesn't elevate enough or long enough to have a significant effect on male pattern baldness. I personally believe it depends on how sensitive you are to...

When you say cosmetic improvement, do you mean seeing regrowth occur or do you mean not seeing any more hair shedding? Almost 8 months into 1mg finasteride and no changes in shedding or regrowth. I would even be happy if I was one of those people who sees late progress, keeping my fingers crossed.
