I had been losing quite a bit of hair for a while which I contribue to male pattern baldness. I started finasteride about 4 months ago but haven't really noticed much change from that other than a slight itch on my scalp.
I decided to add minoxidil in about 2 weeks ago. (last time I was on minoxidil it took 2 weeks to begin shedding and this time was no different). I believe shedding due to minoxidil has started now.
The strange thing is that when I was losing hair to what I believe was normal male pattern baldness I was losing thick hair, thin hairs, and hairs that were thick at the tip and thin at the root all pretty equally. But now I am no longer losing thick hairs. I am only losing the very thin hairs.
I think that's pretty interesting, but I'm not sure why it's happening like that. Has anyone else experienced this or have any insight on why this might be happening?
