I'm not saying that I don't believe them, I just don't understand how that could happen. Do these people freak out from the shedding and assume that it's making their hairloss speed up (which is understandable as I'm shedding right now)? Or can minoxidil actually destroy your hair and void any...

male pattern baldness loss is caused by the miniaturisation of hair. That means that every time the hair affected by dht falls out on its nature cycle, it grows shorter and weaker. So yes, it will grow back, but with each cycle it will grow back shorter until you cannot see it anymore. Depending on your situation...

Do you remember posting this thread?

Hey bud could I have some advice? I wasn't losing all that much before minoxidil, although I never really paid attention. Now after a month of minoxidil, starting about a week ago I'm losing around the same as you described. How long did the shed last and did it bring on positive results? I'm...

The first photo looks a little iffy, the second photo looks a little more iffy, and the last two look fine. Go see a dermatologist if you're worried. That's the best solution

I understand your woes with trying to photograph your hair - the majority of the time mine looks good, but there is always one that sends me into an anxiety fed frenzy. Best you can do is go see a dermatologist

Hey buddy, I was just looking really close at my hair line and on my left temple (my worst one) there is heaps of these little black dots with tiny dark hair popping out. It looks like it's happening throughout my whole hair line. My right temple isn't that bad as it is, but there is a bunch of...

I hope so! I am going to get on Finasteride as soon as I can as well.

That's the plan. I'd buy it online but I'm not sure about customs. Apparently Australian customs are pretty full on. So my only other option is to see a dermatologist and ask about proscar Oh okay. Is oral minoxidil more effective than topical?

And then in this one it looks a little bad, but the bad part is right on the cowlick, so I don't know. These two photos aren't bad, but as soon as I use a flash with the lights lowered it looks really bad

Tell me about it. Are you taking minoxidil or finasteride or anything? My hairline has receeded a little, but I don't think it has moved for 4 or so years. When I first noticed it I had brief bouts of freaking out, but I'd end up forgetting about it for ages. About a month ago another bout came to pass and...

I'd be happy with thickening up what I do have or just maintaining. It's such a hard process to judge though, isn't it? You end up paying so much attention to your hair that you imagine changes, when really it looks exactly the same as yesterday. That is until the regrowth kicks in (hopefully!)

Okay, thank you. I was hoping that the shed meant that it was working. I guess only time will tell

Hi all. I started using minoxidil bout three weeks ago, and over the last few days I've experienced a massive surge in shedding. I have longer hair, maybe 6 inches long, and most of the hair that is being shed is between 1 and 2 inches long. I understand that this means that the treatment is...

I've been using minoxidil for about three weeks ago. I used it twice a day for about a week, and then changed to once at night. I'm presuming that changing to once a day so quickly after starting didn't change anything negatively, but god damn, I'm shedding more than I ever have in my life. My...
