The user experienced hair shedding after using finasteride and topical minoxidil since August 2024, and briefly adding oral minoxidil in early 2025.

The user is experiencing fluctuating hair regrowth using oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, with the best results in the first four months. Suggestions include being patient through sheddingcycles, considering oral minoxidil, and possibly adding dutasteride for stronger results.
