The user experienced hair shedding with finasteride and found minoxidil helpful for regrowth but insufficient alone. They are considering dutasteride but are concerned about potential shedding similar to their experience with finasteride.
community Can minoxidil have any effect on finasteride shedding phase?
Minoxidil and finasteride can both cause initial hair shedding, but they work differently; minoxidil promotes hair growth, while finasteride improves the hormonal environment. Starting finasteride after minoxidil may trigger additional shedding, but it often leads to improved regrowth.
