A 21-year-old has been using finasteride for 6.5 months, starting with 0.25 mg daily and increasing to 0.5 mg, experiencing improved hair quality and no significant side effects. They have not used minoxidil due to convenience and health reasons, and they noticed progress in hair growth, particularly at the crown, after about 4 months.

community 3 months on finasteride and hair density IS decreasing
Finasteride can cause initial hair shedding as part of the treatment process, which is normal and often leads to regrowth of healthier hair. Users discuss experiencing multiple shedding phases and emphasize patience, as results can take several months to become noticeable.
