I don't think it's the finasteride, I've been on that for about 1 and a half years+. I'm now shedding terribly bad. I have quit creatine, and changed to liquid minoxidil and my hair is not even stylable now. Very sad. I don't know what to do at this point. I think I'm going to get a hair transplant for my graduation...
So just an update guys, my hairloss hasn't gotten any better. I've been shedding bad since last summer (almost a whole year). My hair has gotten incredibly thin and you can see the front of my scalp in the sun. Also, it's gotten very difficult to style my hair. I don't know what to do honestly...
So an update. I was stoked last time because of the regrowth I saw. It was just a shimmer of hope. So at this point my hair has taken a massive hit. I can still style it to be decent but it's harder. I'm pretty scared and the new hair that is replacing the shed on my hairline is much thinner. I...
I appreciate it homie. This hairloss/ uncertainty of medication thing is tough to swallow. We just need to continue to be strong. It has stabilized a tad as in the fact that I'm not shedding 20 hairs every time I apply minoxidil but I still see tons of thick hairs go. The shed I've been going...
Yo guys I've been on finasteride for 13 months and minoxidil for 9 months. After the initial shed I had great results for 2-3 months then a terrible second shed. My 2nd shed has been going on for about 5 months. My temples have come back a little and am getting some decent regrowth there after the second...
Alrighty guys. I have good news. Yes, my density has been smacked, yes I'm still shedding a little, and yes my hairline has receded some but I just checked my temples and there is a ****TON of new regrowth. I would have been happy with my hair the way it was but this new regrowth is astonishing...
I started minoxidil in March and had a brief shed after the 2-3rd month. The shed only lasted like 2 months. However, around the six month mark I started going through a terrible shed and it's still going on. It's been ilke a 4 month shed. Sucks ***.
Ya, not too many people post about their second shed. I think mine is going on for so long because it's the year shed of finasteride and the 6 month shed of minoxidil. I hope it ends soon because I'm losing ground. I have been getting a lot of complements on my hair lately however. We'll see. Sorry that...
Ok, a little update. Still shedding terribly. I'm talking 15 hairs every time I apply minoxidil. They're all thick hairs as well. I have no clue what to do at this point. The shed should definitely be over and it's no where near that. I've lost **** tons of ground. What is happening? Somebody...
Man, mine has been going one for nearly 4 months. It started in June/July. I'm losing like 10-20 hairs between showering and applying minoxidil. I think it may the fact that I'm having the year finasteride shed with the 6 month minoxidil shed at the same time. I've lost mad density on the hairline. Temples have...
Yaaa buddy. Great stuff man. It always feels good to get out of the shed cause then you know you have at least 3 months of good times haha. My shed has been going on since like July/June. It's still going hard and it's pissing me off. It's like the sides and temples are regrowing but my hairline...
This is a very important subject amongst us hairloss big 3 users. I had an original post documenting my second shed. I have brought it back with some updates. I have been going through a serious second for about 3 months. I started finasteride last november (2011) and rogaine last march (2012). The shed...
This is probably your first shed. The finasteride shed took a long time for me before it hit, around 3 months. You're a ok. You should be seeing some results in about 5 months.
