Hey guys,
Started big 3 28 days ago,
Obviously I’m not expecting to see results right now but I have noticed an increase in hair loss. I buzz it and keep it short so I can tell what’s happening but I feel like my hairline has receded a lot since starting.
0 sides.
Take finiasteride once before bed.
Min morning and night
And Nizarol every 4 days.
I have been using dermmatch to conceal as well which works okay for me

My question is,
How intense can an initial shed be?
Should I continue to stick it out?

I’ll post a picture of before I started and where I am now.

It actually looks like you've had a hair transplant lol.

Stick it out, the initial period of starting treatment is where half the people jump ship because of 'sides', shedding and various other things. You absolutely have to persevere and give it at least 6 months before evaluating if treatment is effective.

Shedding with minoxidil is fairly common in the first couple of months. I've read that early shedding can actually be a positive sign as its new hairs pushing out the old hairs or something.

Take monthly photos
