IMO, If your genetically dispositioned to hair loss finasteride will only slow down the inevetiable or just make it less dramatic. When your old, and wrinkled and retired if it is meant to happen its going to fall out no matter what. Many people though swear that using it on a cycle of heavy androgens that readily convert to dht at a fast rate is very beneficial to ones hair. Might as well give it a try, im going to use our board sponsers brand on my next cycle since im thinning a little.
