I have been on finasteride for 5 months and have noticed that a lot of the hairs I shed are thinner towards the root - does anyone else have this?

Thinner towards the roots indicates the miniaturation still progresses. It means finasteride is not working and you need to go on a trans regimen asap.

Do you know this for certain or is this a guess? I ask as I have seen posts on here and also on reddit where people having this up to a year in still went on to either gain/maintain their hair

I suspect it. But I saw the same when I was on duta for over a year and my hair was nuked. But u never know. Maybe it sheds the weaker hairs and eventually they will grow thicker I dunno.

makes sense, out of interest i see you’re no longer on treatment - do you still notice this?

and also, did you notice it on all hairs or just some when on dutasteride?

Cant recall tbh. I will try very low dose of topical finasteride now with minoxidil just to feel more protected.
