23yo male. got on finasteride around October of 2024, so been on it for ~21 months. After the initial shed, I noticed my hair got much better. Strengthened hairline, thicker all around, etc. However, upon getting a buzzcut this past April, I noticed as it grew back, it grew back thinner and the hairline was beginning to miniaturize once again. I also noticed my hairline had receded a bit more. It looks to me like my balding genes/DHT sensitivity has already just become too much for the Finasteride. However, is it possible it’s another shed? It seemed to happen really fast, and if I responded to treatment well initially, why would it get worse so quickly? Pictures included below
