No dread shed Rogaine week 6 - should I stop?

[grif623]

Hey all,

Been using Rogaine 5% for a little over 6 weeks now. Maybe into week 7, not exactly sure but roundabout there. I have not experienced any dread shed. I do continue to lose some hair in the shower, not as bad as when I was prompted to start Rogaine. There was one day in like week 2 where I shed a lot and thought that was a sign that Rogaine was working but it stopped after that one day. There was another day like this around week 4. But other than that I have not experienced any noticeable dread shed. Has this happened with anyone who has gone on to see results with Rogaine???? Please let me know because I'm beginning to lose confidence in Rogaine working for me.


Thanks,

Grif

I would like to know this too. I am on week 9 of my 5% Rogaine foam usage and am yet to encounter any kind of reasonable shed. But, I do see a slight increase in thinning on the crown which is where I primarily apply it.

I'm not too sure what people meant by shedding. If they meant a couple of hairs or a bunch of hairs. I'm using Rogaine and I'm a little over 2 months in and my shedding has slowed down (thank God!) to the point where some days I just see 5-10 hairs on my hands whenever I shower.

They say that losing 100 hairs a day is a normal occurrence but I don't believe I lose that much daily. That is unless I'm losing those hairs whenever I sleep but even then I try to sleep on my side so as not to put so much pressure on my crown area.
