I’ve been taking 1mg finasteride(propecia)for 18 years. Hair is still there. My brother is chrome dome. My dad passed this year (RIP) and was also bald. So yes it works. But you can’t wait until you’re slick to start. Finasteride retains what you have.

Yup been using the foam for over a year and seen proven results. My dermatologist also said he saw new growth. I also see less hair in the shower drain.

Finasteride Daily and minoxidil absolutely works . I’m almost 40 and started the combo about 7 yrs ago. Great results

As far as I can see, the real deal is a product called AG Pro. I have a subscription to it through Amazon. It’s not cheap but it’s not real expensive either. Probably less than $50 a month.

Worth it by far to save your hair.

I started seeing some thinning around the top of my head and the hairline to the point where I had to strategically part my hair.

I’ve been using this stuff for probably 10 months and it’s made a noticeable difference. I can no longer see bare scalp when I part my hair down the middle which I wasn’t able to do at all before without showing visible thinness and erratic hairline. Now, all that is completely covered.

I know three other people who have had the same results. I am 68 and they are older than me.

It’s simply some amino acids, but I can tell you I’ll be taking it the rest of my life.

That’s great to hear. Took me about a year to notice improvements in new hair growth and overall thickness. Now it’s time for me to quit sugar (again).

Finasteride can cause your soldier to not rise to the occasion. It’s a low percentage of men it impacts in this way, but knew a guy that it messed up really bad.

I tried it for about 6 months about 10 years ago. Didn't notice any difference. I have about 2/3 of my hair left and I'm pushing 60. What I finally realized is that no one cares one way or another.

Using it in combination with "hims" shampoo and daily biotin stopped my hair loss and I've been stopped for almost 3 years (early 40s)

Use it as part of your routine

Tried it all. No success. Been shaving my head for over 10 years. So many benefits.
1. People never tell me I’m “getting” bald anymore.
2. No bad hair days
3. No concern of what hair styles are popular.
4. Alpha male BDE
5. Confidence

Embrace your baldness. 80% of men have some degree of hair loss. The only ones that look bad are the ones trying to conceal it.

I'm extremely close to the unholy horse shoe and will probably shave my head in the next two years. That gives me 730 days or so to get my shite together. I can be fat or bald, not both, and I'm currently down 22 pounds, and have 38-48 pounds still left to lose.

I'd say that 100% of men and women have some degree of hair loss as they age. There's almost nobody who maintains their 18 y.o. hairline till they're 70 or 80. Everyone loses hair over the years, it's just a degree of loss which dictates which route to take.
