Going on a hair journey in 2025 (already started), any tips to help along the way?

I’ve been looking into minoxidil and finasteride but would love any general advice on growing your hair out, styling it, etc.

My hair has always been something that I’m self-conscious and OCD about, hoping to kick that next year

If you have balding problems, then the first thing you should do is visit a trichologist. I also read a lot about finasteride and decided to use it, and stopped after a few days because I had an surgical operation not linked with hair, but they said not to take any drugs.

So I visited trichologist after some time and she told me that my balding is not bad yet and finasteride would be too risky to take and might be too much for my problem. I'm using monoxidil currently, which isn't giving me a visible effect after 4-5 months but sometimes it takes more than that period of time.

Anyway, I believe that starting your hair journey with a consultation with a doctor is the way to go! Good luck!
