sh*t, brother, we are in identical situation. I'm diffuse thinning rapidly and hardcore at only mid 20's.

I'm currently doing finasteride 1mg ED for ~4 months and have no progress. My hair falls out at extreme alarming rate and my densite is just like yours.

I havent yet started minoxidil, because seems like in a lot of cases it ages the f*** out of your skin and might give your dark circles and bags under eyes, which will hit your appearance even more. On top of that if you use minoxidil along with finasteride, it's hard to figure out which of the medications works and which doesnt.

However since finasteride doesnt work for me at the moment, i have 2 options - switching to dutasteride or going on minoxidil. I consider switching to dutasteride, but it will be hard for me to find the derm to get prescription and buy normal duta somewhere.

Also same as in your situation, a lot of times when i have long hair, it kinda covers terribly diffused density and creates false perception that things arent that bad.
Minoxidil has definitely given me that havent got much sleep look, sh*t that finasteride isnt working for you, i was told in slows down hair loss and ive definitely noticed next to no new hairs falling out.

Thanks for all the feedback. I am on 5% liquid minoxidil for the past year once a day b havent seen any hair thickness (see picture below) but also didnt notice any side effects.

@Blacktree @countjulian @Hairs45 Do you have any recommendations? Should I hop on finasteride?

@Blacktree i know it is diffuse thinning but how can I improve quality of hair? I think there is still enough hair that can be improved if I add something else to my regimen
