Dear all,
I've been on Finasteride for about a year now, I had a big shed the first 3 months and knew that it means the treatment is working and the hair will grow back thicker and stronger - It has now been nearly a year and the hair has not grown back, which is worrying.
I haven't been on Minox since around 2011.
I figured, perhaps Finasteride is too weak to grow the hair back that it shed (I understand its primarily used to keep what you have) - So figured, nows the best time to add minoxidil to the mix to regrow that hair.
However, I know both Minox and Fin can cause the shed - I was wondering, if someone with more experience on the subject could give their opinion, but do you believe I will have another shed on Minox (if I do, and it doesn't grow back, hiding the thinning will be impossible, at the moment with a lot of hairspray I can hide it).
I'm hoping that Finasteride wiped out the weak hair and they are now awaiting to be regrown via the boost from Minox, I'm hoping there are no weaker hairs for Minox to shed now as they already have been with Finasteride.
Is that wishful thinking?
I am using Finasteride 1mg once per day, Nizoral Shampoo every 2-4 days & now will be adding Lipogaine's Minoxidil to the plan (I would get the cheaper Kirkland but I'm told that Lipogaine is less irritating to the scalp and I have sensitive skin).
Please, any input is greatly appreciated.
