3-Month Progress: My Crown Transformation (Timeline & Routine)
I’ve been tracking my progress since March and wanted to share my 3-month update. My crown was thinning, but I’m seeing some really encouraging results so far.
My Treatment Timeline:
March 2026: Started with Plain Minoxidil + Ketoconazole shampoo.
April 26, 2026: Transitioned to "Minoxtret" (Minoxidil + 0.1% Tretinoin).
May 14, 2026: Added Finasteride (1.25mg EOD).
Observations:
I feel like I'm a "hyper-responder." I noticed changes to my hair density and even some new vellus hairs appearing on my cheeks much faster than I expected. The switch to the Minoxtret mix and the addition of Finasteride seem to have supercharged the process.
My Routine:
Minoxtret: Daily application (0.50ml on the crown, 0.50ml on the face).
Finasteride: 1.25mg Every Other Day.
Maintenance: Consistent morning washes and a high-protein diet.
Consistency is definitely the key here. Looking forward to seeing even more density by the 6-month mark! Happy to answer any questions about the routine. Special thanks to u/icarusjun who has been a huge help in answering all my questions.
