Minoxidil - young diffuse thinners should stop it?!

[Rocklee]

Hey everyone!

Im 19 and a diffuse thinner.
My regimen is dutasteride EOD for about three months and Regaine Foam 5% for about 8 months.
Im still losing miniaturisized hair. Every day.
It sucks.^^
I think i should stop Minoxidil.
Because aggresive hairloss in young age maybe is too aggresive for Minoxidil as minoxidil raise the DHT in the hair folicles.

Maybe EVERY diffuse thinner in very young years should stop Minoxidil and take only dutasteride+RU maybe.

what do you think?

Thanks for your opinion!

But i think its not normal to shed like crazy miniaturisized hair after 112 days dutasteride EOD?!

pic from my shedding and m situation:



There is so ****in much miniaturisized hair on the top of my head..

Thanks man.

This is my silk haha^^
With my hair :,(



U think i may respond well?

I would not stop the minoxidil. It might be a huge mistake.

Just because hairs are shedding doesn't mean they are miniaturizing so just be patient

I've been on minoxidil for about 3 years and really don't know whether it has any benefit as my hair has continued to thin . Plus now my hair is so thin applying it makes my thin hair look even thinner so I only do it once a day at night now. I personally think minoxidil is terrible as a growth stimulant but it's the only one out there . Maybe try 10 or 15% minoxidil

I agree with zzzzz its far too risky to quit minoxidil at this stage

Okay, thanks for the answers.

Im very scared right now.
I shed like hell..
Its so crazy and so frustrating.
Its very strange, because the hair i shed is still miniaturisized (i have so much of them)..
But this hair is now pigmentated. And it seems a little bit thicker.
I dont know if that is a good sign or not.
Shedding is a horror for me..
Every day the same ****!
What do you think about the picture?

Rocklee
you show us pictures of your sink.
But what do you do there ?

Is that the sink where you gently wash you hair with some shampoo ?
Is that the sink where you brush your hair with an axe ?

It seems like a lot of hair comes out if this is just from a 1x gentle wash.

More importantly - do you have any visual confirmation of the loss (in your temples for example)

No, thats my 'Test'. I try to pull as much hair out as possible.
And rub for 2 minutes or so.
When i wash my hair i lose maybe 10 hair or so..
But if i test it this is what happen.

no visual confirmation...
Looks like before

You need to calm down and stop pulling your hair. losing 10 hairs when washing is nothing, I lose way more than that and my hair has been stable for years.

Just stop stressing, stick to your regimen and assess after a year
