This is the truth. I've been on finasteride for a year now and my hair is still thinning on the big three. Its just something I have accepted now and try not to think about as much. Every male in my family is bald so its foolish for me to think that a pill would stop something that has been happening for generations.I have seen your case and you do have diffuse thinning going on. All you can do is just take 1mg of Finasteride, use Minoxidil foam twice daily and Nizoral shampoo a few times per week. If you want some extra conditioning then get the Ordinary Hair Density serum I mentioned. You have to be patient as most maximum results will not be reached until one to two years. I would not recommend dutasteride at this time as you have not given finasteride enough chance to work. Just remember, your genetics will always try to win. Also remember these medications are not cures so they will only onset your final Norwood. You have to stop obsessing about your hair( I spent over 14 years doing it and its not worth it). My hair is still thinning even with treatments so all I can do is use what I am and wait until the next best thing comes along. You are at the mercy of your genetics.
OP, the most you can probably expect is for it to slow down. I always say most people go into finasteride being scared of the sides but in reality they should be going into finasteride being scared that it wont work. Its more likely for finasteride not to work than to get sides.
