Asked By:sina496 in New York, NY

So I went on Finasteride 1.25mg + Minoxidil 5% twice a day just about 1 month 2 days ago and my hair loss decrease considerably(From around 40 hairs a day to under 10 hairs a day) and density improved a lot, even my hair dresser pointed it out, she said that new hair is coming out. Although a good news, but this baffled me - Isn't that I'm suppose to wait at least 3 month for minoxidil, and even 6 months for Finasteride to take effect? What's happening to my hair? I'm also thinning on back and sides.
