Disclaimer: I have not been consistent with any routine for more than 6 months. I have been taking finasteride for around 2 years with a few months gap in between. For 6 months I was taking fin 1mg and applying minoxidil topically at least once a day (it made my hair super greasy). I saw no growth.
I have recently started being consistent again, I would say that I have been on finasteride 1mg daily for about 3 months. As far as I’m aware, fin only keeps what hair you have and doesn’t help with hair growth as such. I experience no side effects of fin. Would swapping to dutasteride help this growth? Or will I need to start minoxidil again?
My main issue is my right temple, it is very thin and noticeably less dense than my left. I feel quite unconfident when looking at it, but I know that the effort and time it takes to correct that (a routine I’d need to follow for LIFE) might make me more unhappy. I figure it might be worth another try though.
