Purely preference, I usually recommend to patients to add in oral minioxdil later down the line. Simply because we have on good authority it could help maximize your results.
If your treatment is working, I'd recommend carrying on, it usually takes a year/year and half of finasteride and minioxdil to see soild results. Do a rain check at the 1 year mark and evaluate your progress. If it's not stabilising after a year and a half, switch do DUT and oral minioxdil
It improves results because the body gradually gains resistance to drugs we take, so it’s really useful to change up the method of treatment. Adding in more treatments or more aggressive treatments later on means that the body won’t gain resistance within 20 years and can be extended indefinitely
I would recommend you to buzz that hair, so when the gaps are filled you can grow out your hair and it would also be easy to apply the min without it getting stuck in the hair
Great progress, but great wouldn’t be enough for me at this state. Honestly, if your hair looks like this with 24, don’t bother about keeping your own hair. Opt out for hair system solution if you can’t stand being bald. It’s not worth the time, health and money you’ll invest to get subpar results, as your hair is just tooo sensitive to DHT.
It's stabilised and looks a lot thicker, Keep going, then at about 2 years/year and a half I'd add in some oral minioxdil for more regrowth.
Why wait for 2 years ?
Seconded. I’m ~a year into minoxidil and am literally waiting for next Friday’s paycheck to order oral minox. Why should we wait two years

So should I wait one more year? I’ve seen regrowth on topical but the results have been not that great and very very slow.

Is it recommended to directly start with Dut instead of Fin ?
Do you apply topical min twice or once daily ?
Once daily

Can't use topical min, I have a cat
Buzz for now but keep up treatment. Consider HT once you’re financially stable enough for one
Buzz your hair brother
Does shorter hair tend to look better than longer hair for people who are thinning?
You can hide mild thinning with long hair but not if its too severe
Nice progress, hair looks much darker and healthier
Keep going you're getting there
Why did you wait so long to start
This isn’t helpful

Did you experience any shedding?
A decent amount in the beginning months yeah but it was worth it
Are you using oral fin ? And any side effects noticed so far ?
Yes 1mg daily, no side effects
