Hey, new poster here. 25 year old with Norwood 3 (receded temples, with thinning hair behind receded temples, crown is mostly okay, very slight thinning). I was coming up with a plan to ideally restore and maintain to a Norwood 2 with decent thickness, which for me would be ideal.

I was wondering would it be possible to only use minoxidil for a year or so. And then let finasteride maintain it. Or would that not work? Money is a serious consideration for me, so I was hoping to get the best out of Min and then stop it and maintain the regrowth with just finasteride and using a dermapen. Anyone here have any advice for me? I did my own reading to try and become well informed, but found little on this particular question.

I wish that would work, but unfortunately for us, it doesn't work that way.

If you have to choose between minoxidil and finasteride and are willing to accept the potential side effects of finasteride, finasteride usually works better... If you are on a low budget you could consider taking a pill EOD or ask your pharmacy to create new 0.5 mg pills out of grinding 5 mg pills.
