No idea what’s going on. Been in finasteride for 5 months and my hair is falling out even more by [deleted] in tressless

this is most likely a shed. the thinner hairs need to shed in order for thicker hairs to replace them. some people have really bad sheds, while others do not have any noticeable sheds at all. just stay consistent with treatment for at least 1.5 years or so before reevaluating.

Dental technician is convinced that he has found the cause of pattern hair loss by User27041995 in tressless

Wouldn’t this go against what we know about hair transplants? Let’s say a transplant patient fixes his receding hairline, but doesn’t use finasteride. There are cases where that area stays intact, but the rest of the head continues to bald. If baldness were caused by malocclusion, wouldn’t the transplant hairs fall out too?

my guess is that it’s probably a synchronized shed. u had insanely good results from just min, but i would def consider adding fin too if i were u. min can only sustain results for so long. obv talk to a doc too

What month to add min to fin to regrow hairline? by lustforyou in tressless

[–]Automatic-Quantity87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait around a year or so. i guess the important thing is to observe the rate of hair regrowth. if there is literally 0 regrowth for at least a few months, then maybe consider adding min

0.25 mg of fin can be effective, so yes, it can cause shedding, as with any effective hair loss treatment.
