Does Rogaine Cause Shredding ? Any Help

[Dtrotter26]

Hi everyone,

I have been using for rogaine for a few weeks now. In the last few days I have noticed that my hair has been shredding an alarming rate. Sometimes looks like my hair is not as thin in the front as it was before. Im confused..

Anyone else experienced this ?

Yes, actually most people see some increased shedding after starting minoxidil. This means you are a responder and could expect some nice regrowth/thickening.

Yeah, you're shedding the old thinning hairs with thicker, stronger, and darker hairs.

It's a good thing.
