I'm 30 and I have had 1,200 grafts placed in my hairline. I started taking finasteride a month before my procedure and will continue to do so going forward. Should I also use minoxidil? Or is that only to regrow hair? If so, then since I have the hair I want now, do I not need to use it? I know it should be used twice a day, but what if I do once a day? Or miss a day here and there? Would it be better to not use at all if I can't do twice a day religiously? Thanks in advance for your input!
