A user reporting an extended shedding period of 9 months while using finasteride and minoxidil, and other users offering advice on treatments such as dutasteride, multivitamin, biotin, rosemary oil, Kiel's magic elixir, hair extensions, changing hair color, healing crystals, and seeing a dermatologist.
