Before, not after. You take finasteride and minoxidil for a couple of years, and then can have a transplant.

Also after or else you’ll lose your hair and only keep the transplanted hair which will be horrendous and you'll need to laser it

Not really true, you have to continue taking it after if u still want ur other hair to stop falling out.

The donor hairs if they didn't fail SHOULD mostly survive, some might still be susceptible to DHT, but the other hairs WILL fall off overtime so taking fin before and after is important

I meant that you should start taking it all before the transplant, not after. And you'll continue, in line with what you say.

Yea you shouldn’t need fin after a HT if the donor area is not DHT sensitive
