    Second rogaine shed?

    Most probably just a shed... ride it out. I just went through one (and a big, scary one) since mid april till last week, it suddenly stopped completely one day. I had it at the 6th month mark after fantastic results, and I already see some of the lost hair coming back, so I hope in a couple...

    Great Regrowth - 4 months minoxidil & 3 months finasteride (22)

    Hi :), got a haircut a few days ago and thought I would give you a quick update. The hair is still improving, the density in the crown/vertex is still lacking a bit. I am going through a shed since last week, hope it will keep improving when it ends. Left - October, Right - Today . The hair...

    Great Regrowth - 4 months minoxidil & 3 months finasteride (22)

    With the liquid I just get the dropper close to the scalp and apply little drops in my crown and hairline. I don't rub it in unless it's dripping onto my forehead because in my opinion most would just end in my fingers and hair. The foam I apply it directly to my scalp from the bottle and just...

    Hi guys, quick update. Little hairs keep coming out at the hairline. A few months ago I noticed one long thick hair well below my hairline, seems like he may be getting some company... Will post another pic in a few months to compare:

    Great Regrowth - 4 months minoxidil & 3 months finasteride (22)

    Hi! I have been 6 months on minoxidil (5 using it twice a day and in the temples), 5 months on finasteride and 6 on keto. A thing I forgot to mention in my last update, I don't know if it is because of the minoxidil or it would have happened naturally anyway, but I'm starting to develop a full beard...

    Well, I have an uncle around your age who has been on rogaine only (no finasteride) for years and still have almost a full head of hair ( his 2 brothers are almost slick bald on top). If you have been on finasteride/dutasteride for more than 10 years your dormant follicles maybe have not deteriorated too much and if...

    Thank you. About the minoxidil, just start it man, you will be good. Maybe you wont even shed, and if you do it will probably only last a couple weeks and you wont notice any cosmetic difference. And of course any hair you shed because of the minoxidil will come back stronger. Dozens of millions of men...

    Great Regrowth - 4 months minoxidil & 3 months finasteride (22)

    Hi guys, a lil update. My hairline keeps lowering and my temples filling in, didn't think it was that bad to begin with (well, the temples kind of were, but didn't even realize the hairline had receded that much). I don't remember the last time I had a NW1 hairline, probably since I was 16/17...

    23 with Crohns and Hair Loss - Please Help - Pics Inside

    I have been on finasteride since mid october, minoxidil since september. And yes, shedding is normal, I had my first shed a couple of weeks on minoxidil and that went on for 2-3 weeks, it's scary but you have to ride it out and the results will usually follow. I had another little shed 3-4 weeks ago but this...

    I think you should give rogaine foam a chance, it's not greasy, usually don't produce dandruff (which is not really dandruff, just dried minoxidil residue) and dries a lot faster than the liquid. I think it could give you good results in your frontal and crown, for me along with finasteride has worked...

    Thanks man, will keep updating this for a while. Doesnt take much effort to go on here for a few minutes while I am visiting other webs. I usually apply the foam on dry hair because I use it at noon, at night if I shower late I just apply the liquid on towel dried hair, no problem. I apply...

    No, just a very mild ball ache that lasted a few minutes, probably wouldnt have even noticed it if I wasn't looking for it. This just happened the first week. - - - Updated - - - A few photos I have taken in the last couple days before I have a haircut tommorrow. Hair combed up/back...

    probably, there is still not a cure for baldness.

    I think I'm going through a shed right now, noticed much more hair coming out in the shower and in the pillow the last 4-5 days. Most of them are short and thin hairs so hopefully things keep improving after this shed.

    Thanks! :) Hope all goes well for you and you get the regrowth you want. You know, just stay consistent, patient and think positive. I would also suggest to not take too many photos of your hair in the first few months of treatment and just let the meds do his work (until mid december I just...
