Been on finasteride for 25 days. Went into it with no fear because of you. Thank you brother 🥺😢❤️

the only guy who is really speaking about the important stuff!!!!

Best breakdown I’ve seen of these subjects by anybody and I’ve watched so many videos.

You’re the absolute best Kevin! I have been on finasteride for over 8 months now and recently added minoxidil for regrowth into my treatment along with dermarolling. Been on that for about a month and Im already noticing my temples are starting to look much thicker than before with ton of baby hairs coming through. Thank you for doing what you’re doing Hairloss Witcher 💪🏼😎

Kevin, I've watched your channel for years .. I thought of this question today and low and behold, this is the answer !

I'll always be grateful for saving my youth Kevin. 5 months on fin and I have a full head of hair. Thank you so f much man!!

Kevin listens and interact with comments and creates a quality content which addresses nuances of hairloss treatment which are really crucial and are not paid attention during the treatment by our fellow HAIRCAFE ARMY.. BUT KEVIN GOT OUR BACK AS ALWAYS 🤜🔥🤛

Great Lecture Prof. Kevin. Probably the first time I was listening to a video and agreeing in my head with every little word that's been said lol "Yes", "that's right", "absolutely", "bingo". Strangely enough, it's refreshing to hear hard facts, than someone on the forum trying to twist around such theories lol. This is just a reminder to everyone MPB IS PROGRESSING IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE YOU'RE TAKING MINOXIDIL ONLY. DON'T GET FOOLED WITH FALSE HOPE. START FINASTERIDE FIRST.

wow. perfect video for me. I was so afraid to use rogaine due to shedding. You are amazing Kevin, always provide with scientific search data video. Well explained as always. Blessings to you 🙏

Your thumbnails are the best, also you have helped me greatly of getting on duestride and staying on it after your research comparison video. I feel really good and my hair is getting better by the weeks, Thank you.

Great video! This channel deserves more subs!

Hair is looking fantastic, Kevin. Can’t wait until mine get this long so I can fulfill the promise I made a few months back to get your hairstyle if my hair got to a decent condition (which it did). Thanks.

in 15 mins of video, i have learned more information than i have in years

Man I just wanted to thank you. I was on the hair loss subreddit and was scared off because they demonized minoxidil and finasteride so much. Then I came across your videos and my fears were out to rest. Now have started finasteride and minoxidil. I will probably get a hair transplant soon too. Keep up the good work covering hair loss treatments. Hope more good ones come out.

You’re GOATed, thank you so much for your content. You were one of the biggest reasons I decided to hop on fin, i’m about 2 weeks in and although it’s early I haven’t noticed any sides at all. Cheers

Getting locked up and had to forfeit the 5ar’s and growth stims for a few weeks…. I was literally so terrified I was gonna lose ground and talked my celly’s head off about it. No ground lost and better than ever. Staying clean and out of jail. Love you all

I've been hoping for a video on this topic for a while, so thank you. I'd be interested if to hear more information on this subject if it's out there.

Hey man, some months ago I was commenting, asking about what I should do and you got me on minoxidil (I'm too young for my liking to start fin). You saved my hairs future, bro... can't wait till I'm 18 for fin

I love your content 🤝🏼 Iam on Finasterid now since 2 weeks because of you. The people in Germany talking shit about fina

Thank you Kevin, I decided to join team finasteride as well

Kevin, you, sir, are an absolute legend.

Kevin again showing how he has the best thumbnail game on the site

Thanks for this video.I’ve been contemplating starting minoxidil and this video definitely made me feel more informed.I’m still 2 month into finastride and in a shedding phase I believe.I want to wait a few more months before I start

Another great video! Appreciate the content

hi Kevin, been on finasteride for more than a year now. And it's been amazing. I barely think about it anymore and I've experienced growth and maintenance

In 20 years we will all look in the mirror with a smile on our faces because we still have our hair

A decade ago I made my research on hairloss and the conclusion was this combo Fina 5mg and Minox 5%. It is the ONLY solution to beat hairloss. Having some issues with Fina sometimes but I was never able to really fix the problems even doctors don't know everything and the trash garbage on youtube is worse BUT I discovered your channel some days ago and MAN o MAN this is absolutely impressive. I don't talk to much on comments but I have to for this channel. The amount of information and details are godlessing here, your work with details and research is just.... I mean mindblowing man... I can know finally understand exactly my little issues sometimes and can fix that with your help and conclusions than I found here. I will know enjoy also watching your videos with full attention to be updated on hairloss research. Thank you for your work and keep going 👍👍👍RESPECT 🙌

Interesting studies! Thanks Kevin

Hey, thanks for such an in-depth informative video. I’ve been on Finasteride and minoxidil 5% for 9 months now, have had a serious amount of recovery to the hairloss I had. (Was completely bald and am now almost fully covered, crown is just thinner hair atm) I’ve been contemplating on stopping minoxidil 5% and just sticking with finasteride now.

Great video again Kevin - I was going to do one on a similar topic! The chart you have at 9:20 indicates (and to quote an accounting term) there is a "permanent timing difference" that arises in hair loss once you commence finasteride. A good analogy in my view is that everybody is on the "slap-head/balding" train, its just some folks trains obviously go faster than others, with Finasteride putting the 'breaks' or in some cases reversing the trains journey. Great content as usual. EDIT: Agreed on Ketoconazole, if any effect its immaterial on its own and think its a waste of effort / $$ as an adjunct treatment.

Fan favourite. Grateful. Still not convinced fin doesn’t retain some or all minox gains. Will try it one day. Hoping it will. I imagine perceived catchup hair ‘Loss’ possibly due to loss of sync unison of medicate follicles growth cycles (apparent thinning) and rapid initial shed. Would be interested to see pics of temple regrowth and subsequent loss of same ‘new hairs.

My dermatologist told me to just try Minoxidil because "finasteride has too many bad side affects" went to my general doctor and got it prescribed easily.

Would be interesting to see a study on switching from 1 mg of fin daily to lower dose or/ less frequent use (every other day, lets say). The same with minox. Very informative video, thank you Mann!

Hey Kevin, very interesting video as usual ! Just a little question : I could theoretically use Fluridil only for a year (since it's expensive...) and then stop it after getting some thickening and regrowth of my hair ? And of course finasteride would basically maintain those freshly grown/thicker hair ? Ps : i'm already on finasteride + minoxidil. Working great but looking for some more regrowth 👍. Does fluridil only for a year could be useful or just a complete waste of time ? (Just looking for an extra boost).

great videa kevin! I was wondering if you know why there are so many people fear mongering finaateride? its like everywhere

What’s a good video on derma rolling plus minoxidil for beard growth? Or do you have any knowledge on what the regiment should look like? Thanks

Hey Kevin, really looking for your godly advice here lol. I’ve been on finasteride for a year. And it seems as if my hairline has gotten a bit worse. I was a Norwood 1.5 and I’ve defintely moved back some since being on finasteride. Should I try dutasteride? Thanks choom

Hey kevin, can water quality (hard water) affect hair growth and even cause hair loss? Im thinking that calcium/copper and other stuff that could be pipes for water i use to shower could be making water "hard", because my hair has breakage and has thinned alot and considering im getting a shower filter to see if that helps. I am hormonally female/castrate taking androgen blockers and dutasteride as well as minoxidil, microneedling, biotin 10k and vitamin d3 20k. I cant think of anything causing hairloss besides that and prolactin. Have you debunked "hard water" yet? Thankx.

Choom, I could listen to you talk about anything. I know you work out, and if your dedication to knowing the science of what you take for hairloss is any indicator - I imagine you're well informed on other health topics. Would you ever do videos on more general health topics or supplements? A la Derek at MPMD?

Was there a similar study done which showed the mean percent change in minoxidil users who stopped treatment, who were also taking Finasteride, and continued to take Finasteride, after stopping Minoxidil?

Interesting video Kevin ! Do you think water in a region affects hair loss. For eg: well water vs city water. Any research on this ? PS: ofcourse I am not denying the role hormones (dht) play in hair loss (I am taking finasteride and minox myself) but what do you think about some other factors, like water, stress, etc ?

I suffer from retrograde alopecia and have been using topical minixodil since last june. I started finasteride back may, I've also switched to oral minixodil about 2 months ago. Yes I'm well aware of the side effects. It's good knowing if I have to stop oral minixodil, my results will be maintained through finasteride

Hey Kevin I am 25 yrs old and have been on finasteride/minoxidil for a couple of years with mostly maintaince but no regrowth. Most of my hair loss is in my crown. Do you think it's a bad idea to do a crown transplant at this age?

Hey kevin, this is my first year on minoxidil I keep noticing that I’m getting sick more frequently every month since January. This is also when I added Tretinoin. I’m concerned but I know my doctor isn’t going to give me any blood work for this. Do you have any suggestions? I woke up today sick with yet another cold and fever

Hey Kevin, I am woman and I’ve been on Finasteride for almost 2 years and it was the only thing to actually work to stop shedding. I hate the fear mongering around it and how they make us spend useless money and time on crap.

Would you still recommend propecia to a proffessional athlete who relies heavily on a good hormonal balance?

Kevin , i’ve stopped both treatments for almost 4-5 months , i can say that i have lost everything i’ve gained! And now im back on the treatment, is it going to get back to its formal status?

Your videos have made me think about prevention, not just in terms of hairloss but other aspects of looks as well. You made a video about skincare and prevention of aging. As a guy who uses a bar of soap and shampoo for all my hygene needs, I wanted to know - do you think stuff like moisturizers, cleansers, exfoliators whatever are useful - or is retin a and sunscreen enough to get you covered? (Ie what's the finasteride of skincare, and what are the RUs, zinc and caffeine shampoos?)

So what I'm curious about is, what if you're already on finasteride and then you start, and later stop 5% topical minoxidil? Since you're blocking most of your serum and scalp DHT, would that allow you to keep most of your minoxidil gains?

Hi kevin,is it ok if you skip a day,on consuming finasteride each week,for example,just 4 days a week,Monday,Wed,Friday,Sunday,after more than a year of taking the medicine,will the effect be the same as taking it daily as pescribe before..tq

Hello, thank you for this interesting video ! Do you know if there are similar studies with a group of people who don't suffer from alopecia and take finasteride or minoxidil during months and then stop ? it could be very nice to end this theory of worst sheding

How long does the efficacy of minoxidil last?. If i only use minoxidil i can hold my existing hair for like 10 years

Been on Fin for just over 1 year and minoxidil for about 3 months + dermapen for 1 month. Had no regrowth the first year on Fin but since 2 months back i've seen some thickening. Could it be that Finasteride finally starting to give result or is it the minoxodil already kicking in after 3 months of use?

Hi.... I am suffering from Alopecia Areata, Ophiasis and Alopecia Universalis condittion since 20years. I have recently been prescribed Tofacitinib 5mg once a day for three weeks. Along with Dutasteride 0.5mg on alternate days and also Topical Morr f 5% soultion for every day use . Can you please let me know if Tofacitinob 5mg is US FDA approved line of treatment for AA. ??? Also tofacitnib which is Jak Inhibitor which is predominantly prescribed to patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Is it safe to take Oral Tofacitinib 5mg once a day for Alopeica Areata as it has many side effects ??????

Finasteride 1mg (propecia 1mg) does this pill need to be cut up like 5mg finasteride? Or is 1mg fine enough?

Hi Kevin thanks for your videos that I find very instructive you helped me a lot to make my decision to start finasteride a few years ago, but I’ve recently started using minoxidil and I was wondering about storing it in the fridge? Do you think it’s a good idea because summer is coming and temperature is going up I don’t know what to do?

hey Kevin. I been taking finasteride 0.5mg for just over a month now. zero side effects and feeling really positive. I started loosing my hair at 21 I'm 28 now nw 3 so I guess quite aggressive. do you think I should just fuck it and go with 1mg every day as it suppresses slightly more dht which is better than the 0.5 dose I'm taking?

Is there any data suggesting finasteride’s effect is reduced or cancelled out by alcohol consumption?

I would recommend to everybody going bald to at least give a try to finasteride during 1 year. It has been the best decision I made and not surprisingly, it is the only treatment that really worked for me (I had tried everything before switching to finasteride, absolutely everything). 1 year of treatment no sides and a very good improvement. Sadly I am a non responder to minoxidil (low sulfo-transferase activity), confirmed by a genetic test (Trichotest by Fagron). I tryed also combining minox with retinoic acid but nothing happened. 3 wasted years. I am starting to lower the dose every week and finally leave it. My conclusion, START WITH FINASTERIDE, also do a Trichotest and maybe after 1 year try other stuff that you could respond to (assessed by the test) Thanks for your motivational videos Kevin, you are the best at it! You helped me a lot!

You probably will not see my commenter since this video was posted a year ago but… I got prescribed minoxidil but it wasn’t because of alopecia or anything it was from heat damage to my hair and I have fine hair. I went to people who specialize in hair and they told me to take minoxidil 2.5 Mg for 6 months. Would I still have to take this for the rest of my life ?

This was a question I had because if you want to have a child you can't take fin or dut. Thank you for addressing this.

Started finasteride 2 years ago (NW 6) with 2 hair transplants (2019 and 2021). I'm still seeing regrowth on the tonsure.

I’ve been on finasteride for 2 years at 4mg per week. I’ve stopped for 2 months due to abnormal blood tests and don’t want to restart until certain it’s not the finasteride causing the problems. My question is …… how long will it take until my hair goes back to baseline? Thanks bro

Wow, that was great, thank you!

can you make a video about minoxidil long term efficacy in combo with finasteride? I think that minox stops working after a while, even when on fin.

Hi there. Would taking saw palmetto extract be as effective as taking finasteride for controlling/lowering DHT? I was thinking of giving palmetto a try thinking it would be safer but now I might just do finasteride instead because of your videos. Thank for taking the time to help.

So fin + min + dermapen is the gold standard and the way to go?

Hey kev does topical finastride work been on it for a month in a half no results it went systemic at first when i tried but no sides after that

Whats your thoughts on beard development? I am young and feel no side effects from finasteride, however, I fear finasteride is going to hinder future beard development. I’m in my early 20s for reference.

I wonder if a study like this was made on Dutasteride? And if it gives better results.

Hey Kevin, you're awesome. Is it possible to make a choice between Finasteride and Duasteride based on DHT in the blood? Is there any logic in this? Suppose, according to my analyzes, my DHT is 1439 (reference values are 250 - 999) and this is clearly a lot. Maybe I need to block more DHT than finasteride does. I am 20 years old, diffuse thinning all over my head.

#ask Hey cavin Do I stop using oral fin. , it's been one year and I m not facing any hair issue currently ? Topical Minoxidil F is continue .

8:29 Doesn’t that also mean that you don’t have a big chance of significant regrowth if you didn’t saw it after the first 12 months on finasteride ?

great video kevin! is it true that finasteride loses its effectiveness over time/ cant supresse enough time anymore do the hair loss continue ? Did you already make a video on this?

Thanks for all you do. I’ve had great results from Fin for 2 years but have feared to try monxodil along with the Fin. Also afraid of shedding phase I’ve heard about.

What if you stop Minoxidil for maybe a year, and start again? Will you then regain the hair that you initially gained from the treatment?

Kevin, Say you’re a person first noticing hair loss who wants improvement and immediately hops on fin and min (as many men do). Say that you’re a case where you would’ve improved with fin monotherapy (as many men are). If you’re on fin and min for a long period, have improvement, then withdraw minoxidil (as many men ultimately do), do you think that you revert to where you were at the start of treatment or to where you would’ve been had you only been on fin the entire time? We know that users of min monotherapy have progression of hair loss “in the background,” but my question essentially is whether or not fin with min also reverses loss “in the background.” Thanks

This video was something I really needed, I'm really sensitive to Minoxidil even to just applying 2% on my temples once a day So I had to drop on it on my second week of Finasteride, It's been 3 months since I've started Finasteride but now I'm experiencing a really bad shedding and losing all of the baby hairs on my temples It concerns me if Finasteride isn't enough and my hair loss is just too aggressive, that's why I'm thinking of switching to Dutasteride asap as I'm afraid I wouldn't gain back the ground I'll have lost

Great video Kevin. Have you made an effort with redensyl yet ? Can't remember if this had already been covered.

Pretty sure I have complete halted my hair loss. Been on fin for nearly 3 months alongside oral minox. Can’t thank you enough for getting me past the fearful stage of starting Finasteride. There is nothing to fear guys... get on it ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!! Quick question Kev... once I get to a good place regarding my hair, am I good to switch from oral minox to topical minox? Will I lose gains? I was not a responder so I had to mix it with Tretinoin but it made my scalp burn and peel like mess, hence me going to oral. But I’d much rather make the switch back and deal with the peeling rather than long term use on oral. So what do you think? Will switching from oral back to topical mess up my gains?

Hey Kevin Love your content, you totally got me over the fin fearmongering! However i am hoping to get you opinion on this. I am 24 and started minoxidil back in the of summer 2020 when I was 22, do to your channel. Din't really get any noticable results on it, so I started finasteride 0,5 mg daily in august 2021 and stopped minoxidil in july, as I was getting exess hairgrowth on the rest of my body. Its been nine month on finasteride now and I haven't really gotten any results I think my individual hairs has thickend up, but i have lost more hairs in general. Do you think my finasteride results might be postponed do to the fact that I stoppet minoxidil, or am I just a bad respondent to both of these treatments. Any good advice? I just started alfatradiol to help finasteride.

Have you heard of equol as an anti DHT? perhaps phytoestrogens?

I only regret one thing about finasteride: That I didnt take it sooner

kevin my fav sunlight samurai

haaha you answered my question in a form of a video... just when i thought i was being ignored. Never doubt the hair loss god

God damn I fucking love this channel 💯

Will cutting down and taking it twice a week stop them going as bald as they was before?

I was hoping Kevin is actually on some podcast haha

Do you think topical fin is as effective? I’ve only been on for a about 50 days but I’m just nervous that it’s not going to work. Using the Hims fin/min mix but I have oral fin just haven’t taken it. Thx

Hey Kevin, long time viewer. Currently at work so I don't have time to watch the video so if this question gets answered in the video, I'm terribly sorry! I was wondering if using minoxidil while on finasteride, then weening off minoxidil while still on finasteride, causes the new hairs grown from minox alone to stay since they're not actively being targeted by DHT anymore? Thank you!

Hey Kevin. What is you view on WAY-200070? In the past you have talked about how adding estrogen to a regimen is horrible if you’re a man, because of the side effects. With WAY-200070 from what I understand is that it just stimulates the estrogen receptor beta. I have no clue if this is done without side effects or not and if this could be a treatment that is good for the future of hairloss. What are your thoughts?

Hi Kevin, do you think that its better to start topical finasteride and after couple years move to oral? Because as i read they say its same as oral but with lower risk of sides so. Thank you for answer.

Sup, choom. How are you living? I hope everything is nova with you and you are having a preem week.

It's very simple use Finasteride. If you're unsatisfied with the results there's really not much you can except a hair transplant but not everyone has that kind of money. That's where Monoxidil comes in.

Hey Kevin it's okay to take finasteride while on TRT right? I have to be on TRT my whole life. I'm thinking of doing .25 fin every other day. That shouldn't effect my libido correct? Thanks again for your time.

Hey guys my shedding started and it is not stoping 2 weeks now should i be concerned?

Hi Kevin! How did you manage the usage of topical drug like minoxidil or antiandrogen immediately after a hair transplant? should you stop to use these drugs for too long that can cause a lot of hair loss (I think about if you stop minoxidil)?
