The user experienced significant hairdensity improvement over seven months using finasteride, topical minoxidil, Nizoral shampoo, and supplements like biotin and vitamin D. They also used a derma stamp with rosemary and peppermint oil, noting no side effects from finasteride.
An 18-year-old using finasteride since February and minoxidil since July has not seen improvement in hairdensity. They are advised to continue treatment as results can take up to a year, and to consider other options if no change occurs after a full year.
Finasteride improved hairdensity and changed hair texture from wavy to curly for the user. The user took 1mg of oral finasteride daily without using minoxidil.
Hair texture changes, such as hair becoming curly, are common when using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Users report various experiences with these treatments, including changes in hairdensity and texture, with some using additional products like alfatrodial, fluridil, and pyrilutamide for hair maintenance.
Minoxidil and finasteride have improved hair thickness and density, but temple areas remain stubborn. Continued use is recommended, with suggestions for topical minoxidil, microneedling, or considering a hair transplant for further improvement.
