18 years old with agressive mpb, few questions on minoxidil/keto shampoo

[25 going on 65]

Hi,
i am a strong norwood 2 at the moment and have been receding for the past 2 years (I used to have a girls hairline). My father was bald by 27.
I am definitely heading the same way.

Ive been using 5% minoxidil every day for the past 3 months and keto every 2 days and taking multi vitamins.
I havent seen any improvement but my hair seems to be shedding less.

questions:
Should i see regrowth or just less hairloss?
Does keto actually work?
Should I and if... when? start taking finasteride? (im scared)
Is there anything else i should do to slow my recession down?

Thanks

Yes keto works (use the 2% rx stuff, and every 2 days is probably troo frequent), but it will not stop hair loss on its own.
If you want to stop losing hair you need to do something about DHT.

dont be afraid of fin, get off it if you experience major side affects(no libido) ride it out if you experience minor ones(watery semen etc.) 99% of the time youll go back to normal if you get off it. Only a select few kept experiencing sides afterwards, I think chrisis was one of these guys, but very, very, very few people experience this.
