and if there is no shedding, but there is a result, then the drug does NOT work?)))

I believe this applies really well. In my peak results of Finasteride, I was shedding maybe 30-60 hairs per shower, but I was simultaneously regrowing thicker and healthier hair. So, the shedding didn't mean anything. Whilst, it very possible that the shed could be low, but miniaturizing fast. Exactly, it all depends if the end result is healthier/regrowth/thicker hair no matter the shed or the no shed. When I was balding extremely aggressively, before the treatments, I couldn't notice lot of hair shedding, but I reached NW4 rapidly as simple as that….

bluecyclone sheds hundreds of hairs a day but they grow back healthy. Same thing for lots of women. Especially with minoxidil you will shed a lot, this includes body hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, even beard hair. But it grows back stronger. Sure, shedding can also be a sign of miniaturization too, but this is definitely not always the case. I shed the most when starting finasteride, hairs clogged the drain but I was regrowing hair because they came back in thicker. I shed way more on hair loss drugs than I ever did before that.
OK, but what does the lack of shedding mean while taking minoxidil and finasteride for 8 months. What should I expect and should I be afraid that everything will fall out soon, lol?)

I wish we could get these treatments under FDA expanded access instead of having to go through random Chinese labs. It would be so much safer. But good luck convincing the FDA that alopecia is a serious disease.
I may actually contact them and try after I see phase 2 results. I doubt it will work though they'll probably just lol and ignore my email.

The argument is that you can't tell anything from whether the treatment makes you shed or not shed. Shedding can be a good thing in some cases, and bad thing in other cases; and the same thing for lack of shedding. What matters is if the hairs are growing back stronger.

a healthy non balding human that isn't artificially elongating his hair cycles with drugs should shed around 100 hairs a day
I lol pretty hard when someone complains he shed 14 hairs at the shower today and panicked

I still have enough left to not shave it off. I did shave it off last year and the bald look is not for me at all. I'll shave if its too obvious I'm balding. If i could have something that works to maintain I could have a dense nw2 with minoxidil. But I see no point in using minoxidil now if I don't have something to stop the diffuse thinning.

Also I've been using winlevi on my crown and it's killed my itch there. I stop using it and its back withing two days. The problem is I have to use alot and its almost always gets in my hair. My Doctor had prescribed me Betamethasone last year which I was advised not to use long term but now I've found something other than finasteride and betamethasone which can kill my scalp itch. I had also tried eucapil for ~9-10 months and it didn't kill the scalp itch either so I'm pretty sure that clascoterone is the real deal to some degree.

Giga itcher here. Used nizoral for like 5 years, it helps a bit but not much. The only thing that was immedatly VERY noticeable for itching is a high quality LLLT device (it is effective against worse skin itch conditions like rosacea/psoriasis). Microneedling also helps long-term.
