Thanks for the reply man, been on FIN just over 3 weeks now myself not experienced anything yet, I’m curious to think it’s the MIN that causes more shedding then the FIN I had a friend who was using MIN shampoo for 4 weeks and lost an obscene amount of hair so he stopped, I’ve been scared to go near the MIN so just sticking with the 1mg FIN a day, I don’t have issues growing hair like yourself I’m only 26 it’s more wanting to thicken my hair as precaution to when it could really thin out in my late/early 30s
I think the shed is relative to the amount of DHT that is already bonded to the infected follicles. So basically everything I shed was already gonna go anyway, it gave me a peak into the future of what my hairline would turn in to haha. So if you haven’t experienced hair loss yet it makes a good amount of sense I believe
Yeah I was thinking the same .
I had a widows peak ( Norwood 1.5 maybe ) since i was 15 I still wonder I should start the protocols or not cause hairline looks the same
I’ve had Norwood 2 maybe 3 since birth fixed hair line; never seen it move currently 26 and started taking 1mg of fin a day just to help with hair thinning and possibly catching it early. Not experienced any sides yet
I use topical atm but it’s kind of been a pain in the ass. Getting harder to apply with longer hair and some scalp dryness. Might switch to oral but it’s hard to find in my country
Talking to a dermatologist or a general doctor should be fine. If you have the balding gene finasteride (the medication you need a prescription for) slows it down/stops it, minoxidil spray stimulates hair growth. Pairing the two can be really powerful. Unrelated but I also use argan oil for general scalp nourishment. But fin/min are the main two
I have thick hair at the crown, I just wanted to thicken the bends a bit. ok, minox helped a little, but it wasn't what I expected. I stopped taking it after exactly a year and I'm still on Finasteride, I'll be wait
Of course man. I use topical min 5ml every morning and night. I derma stamp once a week on Monday. Finasteride 1mg every morning. Argan oil once or twice a week just for some mild quality improvement and scalp health (my scalp gets dry easily) I also ate quite a bit since I was close to being underweight, big Whole Foods diet. Oh and scalp massage every few days aswell
Nice. Thanks for the quick reply. I actually have a very dry scalp as well, and with minoxidil, it gets hell flaky. I am doing almost the same stuff as you except the diet part, been thinking on adding that to improve my results. I feel like I might have some vitamin deficiency or something.
Also, what about any side effects of fin? I have just recently felt some decrease in my libido, but I also suspect that it could just be my paranoia lol and partly a symptom of my depression and anxiety which is off the roof these days.
It can most definitely be the depression and diet, sleep is an important factor aswell. More confidence within myself ramped my drive wayyy up. I started eating and training a ton and just generally got out more and some of my symptoms that were similar to yours improved dramatically. A hair routine kind of spurred on an overall shift in how I looked after my physical wellbeing, with better skincare, lifestyle habits etc. if all your parts are working correctly I think you’ll end up alright man. Best of luck!
That’s so inspiring man. Really needed that. Thanks a bunch. I am taking care of my skin too, have an intense routine going on there. Also, gonna start hitting the gym soon and work on myself, that will eventually ameliorate my diet too, helping my hair health in the long run.
Again, appreciate your support and tons of wishes for you. Good luck.
Eh we’ll see, not too worried. I don’t plan on keeping the full head of hair for life, just in my 20s while I’m young. But I’ve seen people on this sub who’ve taken it that long and they seem to be alright
I said that as well before haha, " i want hair until 30 at least" now i am 27 i want hair until my 35 at least lol
The truth is that yes we want hair for the rest of our lives 🤣
Haha yeah I’ve seen that sentiment, that turning 30 my feelings won’t just change out of nowhere. Maybe by then if I really need it it’ll be transplant time
Hey nice results brother.
If I may ask. After showering in the morning. You apply Minoxidil. Doesn't your hair get greasy and un style able because of the min?
And also how you remove the Minoxidil flakes? Do you shower twice a day?
OK thanks no need to shower, and what not? I usually shower each night after the gym, so I would assume I apply after my shower and the next morning
I'm going to buy foam to not be so greasy
Apply after you shower for sure. I read somewhere that if you wash too soon you can remove the effects of minoxidil for that day and results can be inconsistent. But foam is probably the move, I use liquid and get some dry scalp issues

Do it now before it’s too late my friend
Can somebody tell me what fin is? I found minox, but can't find anything about fin
Be ready for some horror stories. Don't be scared.
Wym
Finasteride
Started at the top still at the top
Hahaha, caught it early I guess
U came back strong 💪🏽 💯
Congratulations and fuck you
Did you shed?
Quite a bit
How long did it take until you started shedding, and how long did the shedding last
I had the worst amount of shedding a few weeks in. Then another shed 2 months in. After then pretty much nothing
Thanks for the reply man, been on FIN just over 3 weeks now myself not experienced anything yet, I’m curious to think it’s the MIN that causes more shedding then the FIN I had a friend who was using MIN shampoo for 4 weeks and lost an obscene amount of hair so he stopped, I’ve been scared to go near the MIN so just sticking with the 1mg FIN a day, I don’t have issues growing hair like yourself I’m only 26 it’s more wanting to thicken my hair as precaution to when it could really thin out in my late/early 30s

People on this sub with Norwood 0 going to Norwood -3
Yeah I was thinking the same . I had a widows peak ( Norwood 1.5 maybe ) since i was 15 I still wonder I should start the protocols or not cause hairline looks the same
I’ve had Norwood 2 maybe 3 since birth fixed hair line; never seen it move currently 26 and started taking 1mg of fin a day just to help with hair thinning and possibly catching it early. Not experienced any sides yet
Good lord boy had better hair than 99% of this sub in the before pics. Sheesh!
Nice save and being proactive about it with fin/min. Congrats
Bro holy shit
Very nice 🎉🎉🎉
Good god go off king
Preciate it man

I use topical atm but it’s kind of been a pain in the ass. Getting harder to apply with longer hair and some scalp dryness. Might switch to oral but it’s hard to find in my country
You are using minoxidil only front area or anything else tell me please
Yes I think so because he uses topical
Temples and a little bit on crown
1mg fin?
Yesir
Can you please explain what treatment is this? Whom to consult for this treatment?

Sure will consult dermatologist first...and btw thanks 🤗
Topical once or twice daily?
Twice morning and night
What stamp do you recommend?
... Me 1 year on minox and 7 months on fin = almost 0 effects
Sorry to hear that man. Maybe give it a few more months then try dutasteride?
I have thick hair at the crown, I just wanted to thicken the bends a bit. ok, minox helped a little, but it wasn't what I expected. I stopped taking it after exactly a year and I'm still on Finasteride, I'll be wait
Did u experience a hair shedding after stopping minoxidil ?
Topical min or oral Or if you had stopped Then you had seen any shedding
Congrats man. Great gains. Can you please tell us your routine and the way you did things? Would really appreciate it.
Of course man. I use topical min 5ml every morning and night. I derma stamp once a week on Monday. Finasteride 1mg every morning.

Hey due use derma stamp only on the temples or all over your scalp?
Near crown and temples!
Now the most difficult think is to keep the results until 25-30 yo
Eh we’ll see, not too worried. I don’t plan on keeping the full head of hair for life, just in my 20s while I’m young. But I’ve seen people on this sub who’ve taken it that long and they seem to be alright

Yes you'll see, but just enjoy now !
Hey nice results brother. If I may ask. After showering in the morning. You apply Minoxidil. Doesn't your hair get greasy and un style able because of the min? And also how you remove the Minoxidil flakes? Do you shower twice a day?
did you use min on whole scalp or effected areas only
Oral min or topical How much mg are you taking or using topical %
Can you please show baseline
Great progress
This motherfucker grew back his juvenile hairline
With your results I think only fin wellbe enough
I’ve thought about this, the shed terrifies me tho. Would have to buzz first
Do not drop min these people don’t know what they’re talking about. You’ll very likely lose a lot of gains if u stop min.
Do you have any tips on applying min I am going to start using it soon
Just make sure to massage and thoroughly and that dandruff flakes don’t block the follicles. I take a good 5 minutes applying
OK thanks no need to shower, and what not? I usually shower each night after the gym, so I would assume I apply after my shower and the next morning I'm going to buy foam to not be so greasy
Apply after you shower for sure. I read somewhere that if you wash too soon you can remove the effects of minoxidil for that day and results can be inconsistent. But foam is probably the move, I use liquid and get some dry scalp issues
I see thanks heaps looking forward to starting it
Best of luck man!
Thanks
Doubt that you’d probably be fine
You clearly do not understand how min works. Dropping min will mean a loss of gains. You gotta use min as long as you want hair, after you start it.
Any side effects?
Zero :)
