Hey guys, on Sunday I started using minoxidil 2%. I'm starting out slow so I have applied every other day, so Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday so far, so 3 times total. I'm actually using Lipogaine, which contains a ton of other ingredients, including several DHT blockers. This morning (following application last night,) I shed much more hair than I normally do. It was a little over 100 (without washing!) when normally it fluctuates between 40 and 70 or so. Could the dread shed be starting so soon?
Also, I noticed that a TON of the hairs I shed were seemingly miniaturized. Like TONS. I should point out that these hairs that appear miniaturized could be from Androgenetic Alopecia or could be from anemia, of which I suffered most of last year. Could the minoxidil be working that fast to shed miniaturized hairs?
I should mention that I've been taking 1-2 mL of castor oil every night for about two weeks (probably a little less,) and I've been on Spironolactone (100 mg) for about 5 months. I also take birth control pills that contain estradiol and drospirenone (a progestin.)
Btw, I am a 30 year old female.
