Unfortunately some of this hair regrowth is likely a direct consequence of minoxidil stimulation. Any such “minoxidil-dependent hair” will return to baseline if you drop the minoxidil. You might be able to lessen the frequency of minoxidil applications and still maintain the hair, but don’t count on finasteride alone being able to protect and retain all the new hair grown from the combination protocol.
