Originally posted on Reddit I’m 22 years old and first noticed my hair thinning about three years ago. I had a lot of hesitancy before starting, but decided to try the oral route. The Regimen: Oral Finasteride: 1mg daily Oral Minoxidil: 3mg daily The Observation: The first photo is from late October, and the second was taken today (late December). I chose to share comparison photos of my hair wet because it further highlights the progress; the middle of the top of my head is noticeably darker and denser. The Verdict: I’m so relieved the medication is working this quickly. I would encourage anyone experiencing hair loss to give these a try early rather than waiting.
