Staggering introduction of treatments, the big 3

[jasonbudd1984]

Hello. Am considering beginning my treatment(battle?) against progressive thinning/male pattern baldness in earnest, finally.
nizoral is a no-brainer.
However with the intro of finasteride and minoxidil, how would this be best done? From what I know I am thinking about starting finasteride to get the initial shed over with, for about 3months and then adding minoxidil for an extra push. Perhaps it doesnt really matter but would be interested to know.
Also I already have my pretreatment photos done(they have sparked this renewed commitment!) so shall keep posting about my progress.
For note, I am 22 with about 3vertex, and its the crown that is killing me.

nizoral/finasteride/minoxidil all at the same time is a great idea since it seems you are wanting to regrow hair.

If your tight on the money, you could just try finasteride at first and see what happens and add treatments as you see necessary.

Consider adding copper peptides.

Conditioner would probably be good to use with Nizoral.

i am also think of starting finasteride first to deal with the initial shed..i dono about starting minoxidil...2 times a day if u stop u lose the 30% of the hair regrown =.= i never thought i can committ with minoxidil for so long because its annoying to manage..

i was told that conditioner is not good for a man to use. my tricologist told me not to use.

conditioner is for people with longer hair, because the sebum normally protects short hairs but can't get that far on lnger ones, which causes them to fray more easily.

Did your tricologist say why conditioner is bad? I would think it would just interfer with absorption of other topicals. maybe it could extract a little nizoral back out of the scalp. but if someone's hair feels burnt, I think it can't be that bad.
