I think the answer to that is yes, as far as i am concerned - but qualified!
On PM, I'm sure my leg hair growth rate definitely slowed down and possibly got either sparser or finer (or perhaps both). I never had huge amounts of back hair but that also seems less, but is difficult to see of course.
As for my head hair, that's a bit more difficult. I don't have a lot of that any more, it started to disappear when I was in my early 20's and and has been in slow decline for the succeding 40 years!
Now, I've been on Finasteride for the past 4 months and I read a paper recently which said that 1mg daily has a significant effect on MPB regrowth over a 6 months period, but I'm on 5mg daily.
Then, about three weeks ago I switched over from PM to FG/GR/hops/flax/oats, in-line with Isabelle's programme.
The point of all this lot is that for years I've gone 3 months between haircuts. I had my last one only in mid-Dec but last weekend I had to trim it round my ears because it was tickling, and then just yesterday my wife said, "Your hair is growing a lot faster these days" ( there is no sign of it regrowing yet though
). Whether that is the Finasteride, the herbs rather than PM or simply the cumulative effect of the length of time I've been bunging phyto-hormones into my body, I can't tell, unfortunately.
