It's Not All About The Shedding Folks

Just a gentle reminder that shedding isn't always the best indicator regarding hairloss or treatment. In my own personal experience, the first time I used Rogaine I shed like a b**ch almost constantly and got decent regrowth. A few years on and I've restarted using Rogaine again, this time I've had very little shedding, but as much if not more regrowth than the first time I was on medication. Monitoring shedding can be useful, but the point is not to obsess over it.

May I ask you why you stopped Rogaine the first time?
I know you should not obsess over shedding but there are extreme cases. I lost half of my hair on 15% minoxidil so I had to abandon it and go back to 5%.
