    Default Anyone just take finasteride (no minox)?

    For those long time users of just fin, did you see any thinning hairs re-thicken up after using the drug for a decent period of time?

    I don't expect fin to regrow any hair that is fully lost but am hoping it may be able to thicken up hair that is slightly thinning, what are the chances of this happening?

    that sucks man, I think its rare for fin not to work in most cases but its good you are still taking it.

    anyone else have any info on my original question?

    Yes but also was using keto 2% shampoo.

    I should have mentioned I am using nizoral 2% as well. I was wondering how well fin worked without the help of a growth stimulate like s5 cream or minoxidil.

    How often do you use keto shampoo per week? Also, in terms of your hair re-thickening, how long did it take, did you notice any shedding at any point from fin?

    I am praying it can re-thicken my hairline but if I stay at baseline I will be very happy as well

    Keto frequency varies for me between 1-3x every week. Not sure what the best frequency is, maybe it is different for everyone.

    I did have some shedding on fin, mostly in the first 6 months I think, but not drastic. I started noticing improvement maybe around 8-10 months, but I remember it was slightly more than 1 year after starting that I really felt happy with my results. It is what got me out of the house again, back to a more normal life.
    I think peak results were around 15-16 months for me. I think Propecia literature talks about "3-6 months"....in my experience that is very off the mark

    What is minox? What is it supposed to do and how effective is it, and is it a pill or a shampoo? Same questions for duta. I'm only using fin right now and I'm thinking of beefing up my regimen but I'm very ignorant on the subject.

    hi minox is short for topical minoxidil which is a 5% strength or regaine in uk and rogaine in usa.
    And i apply 1ml twice a day all over balding scalp areas.
