Well, I think I am definitely shedding. I am in week 3 in propecia and when I comb my hair I will get like 10 hairs each time I comb. All the thin vellus hairs in my temple area are shedding when I put my hand there. I hope they will come back stronger and thicker. The good news is most of the hairs I am shedding are pretty long and some small. Before I started propecia I could comb my hair all I wanted and not get any hairs.

However, the shedding is nothing big. Nobody would notice except yourself. Do you guys think this is a shed and those hairs could come back?

How long should this last or stabalize? Can you guys give me a rough estimate?

YoungGuy, as many many many many many many many MANY posts have already covered since you've been here :) shedding is common, means the drug is working, and can last between 1 and 3 months when you first go on Propecia :)

I agree nick. Shedding on propecia just doesn't sound logical to me.

It has been well established by scientists that Propecia can cause synchronization of the hair growth cycles. Its not a myth. very common on Rogaine as well. Even mentioned on the Rogaine documentation.
