I’m 21 and wanted to share my current timeline and get general feedback from others with similar experiences.

Current treatment:

- Oral dutasteride for 4 months ( 3 times a week )

- Topical minoxidil 5% for one month and 3 weeks ( 2 times a day )

I did not notice any side effect, except mood changes after dutasteride pills.

Background:

I used minoxidil before for a few months, stopped it, then later restarted consistently.

I started dutasteride first, then added minoxidil again recently.

Current situation:

1. Hair shedding seems lower now compared to before.

2. I’m noticing some small baby hairs in areas that looked emptier before treatment, especially around the hairline.

3. Density is still not where I want it yet, but I understand it is still early.

---------------------------------

For people who stayed consistent:

●When did you notice real thickening?

●When did the hairline start looking better?

●what do you think about my results?
