I'm on Finasteride since 6months(and since 4 days on 1mg... Before I was on 3x in a week 0,25mg, then 0,25mg everyday and later 0,5mg everyday)
anyways the shedding hasn't stopped but l realized that since I'm on Finasteride I do shed really thick hair that is really short like 1cm and looks and has the same texture like pubic and beard hair. I never shed those when I wasn't on finasteride. Its not much I shed those kind of hair its 1-3 hair every 2days.
Usually I shed hair that is mostly between 4-7cm and few vellus hair everyday. And sometimes hair that is longer than 15cm. Pic 1 and 2 shows the hair that looks like pubic/beard hair and pic 3 and 4 shows my hair in general. Also my hair texture is bwtween 2c and 3a. Does anyone had those hair too and knows what that mean ?
Also I have zero side effects, and I'm on finasteride only. My hairloss shedding hasnt stopped and I think it got tinyyyyy bit worse but I don't really know and I could be wrong its the same
Now hear me out I do still have a "full head of hair" but my density is between 75%-85%. I'am a diffuse thinner on my mid scalp and near crown but overall my hair is thick on front, sides and back and my hairline is intact. I would say my hairloss is slow.
Started finasteride only since now on 24 Dec 2025 with 0,25mg 3x per week till february 2026 from there on I was using it everyday 0,25mg till march. From april until now I'm on Finasteride 0,5mg. Now what I noticed is that my hair has become little bit thinner in density but still not too bad also my shedding didn't stop either.
Before I shed 60% hair that is 4 to 7cm, 30% hair that is 1 to 3cm and 10% hair that is really long from 8 to 15+cm. Now its 40% 4 to 7cm, 30% hair that is 1 to 3cm, 20% hair that is really long 8+ 15cm, and whats new is now I loose 10% really thin hair that is vellus hair. I have to say that this is not regulary but I see more vellus hair that fall off.
I will not stop taking finasteride even if its not working but it should atleast stop the shed or improve a bit in thickness, because thats what is supposed to do, to thicken up existing miniturised hair that are not too short and stop shedding. I will climb in the next few months to 1mg. Also I have zero side effects, my Libido is still extremely high etc.
And no before you say use Minoxidil, I will not use Minoxidil for atleast 2 years. I want to see what finasteride is doing for me.
