Best thing for maintenance that does not cause shedding?

[ReceedingHairGuy]

i am looking for a routine that i could use, whether a combination of shampoo, vitamins or whatever that i could use for maintenance that wont make me shed.

i am a nw2 and have started noticing i am receeding, i am in the early stages so i dont want to be shedding for 2 months and have my hair looking worse or possible going to a nw3 (while im shedding).

i also dont want to use proscar and minoxidil due to the sides.

thanks for any suggestions!

as for shampoos i would suggest using nizoral and NANO. You can take a good multivitamin. But to be straight out with you i think propecia will be your best shot to maintain. If not then you can look into topicals such as, spironolactone, prox-n, revivogen etc.
spironolactone apparently wont mke you shed, so you can use that twice daily, just a suggestion...

a lot of people don't get sides from finasteride (of course some do though). I take 2.5mg / day and haven't experienced any shedding yet (knock on wood).

how long have you been using it for? i've read alot of threads on this forum about shedding on proscar.

iv herd u normally hit a shed at bout 3-4 months. its normal tho. people keep on complaining about it and wanting to halt treatment, but shedding is a part of the process. deal with it or bald naturally.

iv only been on finasteride and min for 10 days do im not near a shedding phase yet. my hair is buzzed too so prob wont affect me to much.

id get on those two, and nizoral.
