After 5 Months of HIMS Topical Fin + Min: Back of Head Stalled, Seeking Advice on Growing Out

After around 5 months of topical fin + min from HIMS I feel like the progress on the back of my head has really stalled. I feel like I have good follicle coverage, and the front and top of my head look solid to me – it’s just the back that is lagging behind.

Is this normal?

Also, at what point do y’all just go for it and let it grow? I would prefer to stop shaving my head, but after a couple of days it looks like the picture and I feel the contrast is too noticeable and awkward.

I would let it grow after a year so I don’t have to worry about it. You could also let it grow now. It’s noticeable and awkward to you, but imo people see you the same whether you’re bald or like this
