community (20 M) 1 Year of Progress Fin and Min
A 20-year-old man shared his one-year progress using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss. He experienced no side effects, saw results within weeks, and despite occasional shedding, his hair grew back thicker and in previously bald spots.
community Some more realistic 15 months fin+min results. No loss, but also basically no growth. HT unfortunately seems like the only option left at this point :/

community Just started RU a month ago after being on fin and min for almost 3 years. Progress so far: My temples were pretty bare before this. Really hoping at least some of these become terminal.
