Norwood 1.25

Finasteride only slows down the miniaturization.

Isn’t it supposed to halt any further hair loss?

If so, this platform wouldn't exist and every 18 year old would hop on finasterid as it should "stop" any hair loss. Basically then it should be a CURE.

But it ISN'T.

My dad is bald and all
My dads side is bald too. I started shedding lots back in December and I got paranoid that I was following my dads path of cue ball final form.

So what does finasteride just buy you time with your hair? What are all these 5 year studies then on finasteride efficacy on hair counts? Do you think I was right to hop on finasteride?

Yes it was a great decision. Finasteride will buy you time. male pattern baldness progression will be * slowed down *

Well I hear it can either regrow, halt or if aggressive just slow down.

Finasteride can regrow, but rarely shows significant regrowth (particularly when only used by itself). That's why it's a big deal when someone gets regrowth on it, it gets posted on forums/reddit and people are amazed.

So far seems average. Finasteride is doing wonders for the welshman though. Of course he is also on min and needles too.

Finasteride making things worse then? Look like it’s Norwood 1.5?

Looks 1.5 heading to a NW2 on both pics

But maybe it's just the shedding

I really wish I could visit a derma

ive been 1.25 or 1.5 since back in November. So I guess that’s a good sign??? Hopefully it’s the shedding I’m about to be at 3 months finasteride at end of March.

 

[infamousrodi]

About to hit 3 months on finasteride. Hair still feels less dense throughout scalp but here’s some pics. How are things looking to be? Not much sides to report just occasional migraines.

 

[Norwoody]

Looking good honestly. Might be a little regrowth along the hairline

I feel like I’m just returning to baseline. Finasteride prob just made me shed like crazy?

There's always going to be some shedding when a treatment is working. It's like new teeth growing in - the old weak ones get pushed out and so there's a phase where coverage lacks. You look like you're coming out of it stronger. I even see some new hairs on your temporal hairline (the side). Good signs. Things are going in the right direction so just keep at it and try not to stress.

Yeah that’s a great way to put it. Which pic do you see the new temporal hairs?

All the ones of your hairline. Compare it to your first post. More density, going from round to square. Looking good!
