How Do You Know When You Start Shedding From Minoxidil?

[Kino14]

I've been using Rogaine Foam twice a day for four weeks now. But I honestly can't tell whether I've started the "initial shedding" phase. I shed hairs but it's pretty much the same amount I was shedding before starting minoxidil so I can't distinguish if it's what I've always been losing or if it's from the minoxidil. From what I've read the shed starts between the first two or three weeks but I'm now on my fourth week with no change. If anything I think my hair looks even thinner especially my hairline? I'm a diffuse thinner so I apply all over except the back and sides. I think I see these extremely tiny blond hairs around my hairline but they're very insignificant and could have just been there before. Any thoughts on this guys? Will it improve?

Not everyone has a massive shed and some people experience the shed later than 3 weeks in. It's too early to speculate if your hair will continue to improve or not. Just stick with it. Those tiny blond hairs are likely proof that minoxidil is having some kind of effect.
