Finasteride plus oral minoxidil is the routine that takes the least upkeep. Topical products are a real hassle: 2 applications per day, greasy hair, and you must let it absorb before getting on with your day. Check your hairline against the Norwood scale, which is simple to locate online. Based on where you fall on that scale, finasteride and minoxidil might bring back some of your hairline. If things are already too far along, a major reversal of the scale is improbable, and as another person mentioned, a hair transplant followed by continued fin + min is your strongest option. And ignore the finasteride-is-bad goblin; it really is fine.
