This man shaved his head so that he could tell the benefits of finasteride better with photos. He had restoration of much of the crown and some or the frontal hairs. This is not unusual in most men responds better in the crown.

Good result from finasteride alone

This photo shows that minoxidil alone can reverse hair loss and cause new hair growth in the frontal hairline. Some of the growth appears recent with early corner filling

There is never a substitute for persistence. This 24 y/o man made a plan and kept to the plan so that he got the results he wanted.

This is a predictable response for finasteride. This drug works best on the crown and it is more predictable with response in the crown when compared to the frontal area. The older you are, the less responsive the frontal reversal will be.

I have been taking minoxidil 5% on my hairline for 1 year and I wanted to ask you if you think that adding finasteride will help grow more hair?

Adding finasteride will only add potentially more benefit. What you already got from minoxidil over one year is remarkable and unusual.
