24 Y/o, On Finasteride 2.5 Years, Stopped Minoxidil

[TheZyzz]

You can take a look at my previous threads to compare my hair.
Started to lose my hair about 3 or 4 years ago when I was 20/21. I ignored it till my friends told me "yo.. you are going bald af".
And I'm going to be 24 y/o in a month.

So my exact timeline of the treatment is:
May 2018 bought minoxidil foam
September 2018 started finestaride
Started to go lazy with the foam. It's annoying af. .. and all the myths about getting your face wrinkled because of it..
So I kind started to use it once a day
Then 2/3 time a week
And then nothing...
I mean I still have 4 full bottles and I dont use them. Sometimes I use it for 2 days and then stop for 2 weeks or for a month.. idk I'm stupid af and I'm gonna regret it and I'm already regretting it because I have 0 regrowth and I can blame only myself.

Here's some pics that I took 30 minutes ago:

Do you think my laziness with the foam is a huge mistake and I'm going to regret it? Or do you think I still have some hope to get my temples back?
Thanks.
P.S I'm still shedding af lol.. as before the treatment.

I think that after 2 years you can expect finasteride to regrow anything, its not common that it regrow and even then its just in the first year or two.

What do you think about my Norwood level and hair in general?

It looks great mate don't stress it it really looks good

I agree it looks "ok" but I'm still missing my temples.

It looks fine, not great but certainly not bad either. You're lucky that alot of men with your hair colour have thin hair as well, so you don't stand out as much. It also hides the diffusion really well. I have dark brown hair, so I am fucked.

Your not missing that much of them. Few men in this world, kind of 1% of them retain their juvenile hairline until they die, or at least until at a very old age so your very good don't stress it live your life

I have olive skin and jet black hair and diffuse thinning... lol

No matter what you do, it will ALWAYS stand out.

Yeah it f*****g sucks. I am also quite pale so my dark brown diffusing hair stands even more out.. Luckily it aint that bad yet.

So.. just continue my treatment and pray for this to remain until I'll be 35 y/o?
Idk I feel like a total retard for not keeping my routine with the foam. It could improve my temples and thickness dont u think?

Your hair still looks very good. For temples they can be tough to treat. I regrew my temples through oral minoxidil but maybe try the foam again?

Is there any option to make it too look great or by your opinion it's already too late and I just gotta keep the current hair?

I have been on and off minoxidil at least 10 times. And for the past few years I stick with it. Finasteride tends to work synergistically with minoxidil. Your hair is really good still. You have some slight diffuse thinning at the front but overall your hair loss is minor. I apply it at night once per day. I prefer Lipogaine for sensitive scalp because it easy to apply when you have a full head of hair. The foam is harder because some gets on your hair.

any sides?

Dude how can u call it "good"?
I hate this.
I hate seeing my temples so visible.
And seeing my hair in the middle so thick and goes till the hairline while the temples basically gone.

Yeah
Erection problems.. I'm taking pills to get it hard sometimes.

Maybe style it a little better and get a new haircut but it looks good yeah, at least my opinion...

Yeah bro ofc I'm styling it better with a combover and all the tricks to hide our thin hairline, but I just wanted to show you my original hairline without any tricks. Its looks bad bro.. look on the temples. They are absolutely gone. 100% gone.

Your exaggerating it's not that bad, you see yourself everyday and that's why you act like this. You have nice hair and that's kind of it, it you are really that obsessed with the temples, leave it a couple of years and maybe get a transplant, your young who knows what will come out after a few years.
