I have been looking every where and can't find any pictures of telogen vellus hairs next to regular hairs. I think it would be very useful if somebody could post a picture so men know what to look for. Also, are short hairs on the hairline normal ?

Each hair follicle on the head is constantly going through a cycle of growth and shedding, and at any given time about 10% of the follicles are in the telogen phase, where they shed old hairs to make room for the next cycle of growth. As a result, it is not at all unusual for an average person...
Finasteride does begin to reduce DHT immediately. However, rejuvenation of the hair follicles may take several months (4-6) to ensue. Once it starts, then it will be maintained throughout the time of use. Patience is a must.
