Dread Shed “immediate Telogen Release”

[Conor83]

My hairloss routine is 5% minoxidil twice daily, 1.25mg Finasteride daily, 1.5mm microneedling twice weekly, LLLT every other day, Biotin and Pumpkin Seed Oil daily.
I’m currently 12 weeks into this routine and I’m still experiencing some serious “dread shed” on my hairline, around the 4-6 week timeline I noticed baby hairs growing all along my hairline as well. Just wondering if anybody has experienced the “dread shed” to last as long if not longer than this and if & when they experienced new fuller hair regrowth?

Yes. You are losing thin, whispy hair that are being pushed out because of extra bloodflow from minoxidil and the lack of DHT clogging the follicles. Those hairs will grow back thicker in the next cycle in 2 to 3 months. Some people are super responders who can regrow the hair much thicker in just one cycle. Most people will see the regrown hair get progressively thicker over a number of cycles.

Thanks for the reassurance mate, I’m in the panic phase now with the amount of shedding it’s very stressful, but seeing the mini baby hairs is giving me hope that it’s working!
