Rogaine causes shedding?

[Helel]

So let me get this straight: Rogaine causes shedding? Is that really a good thing?


I've made a couple of threads explaining how for the past week, my hair has been falling out like crazy. I've been using this shampoo called Cre-C. I've read reviews and it seems pretty legitimate. Anyways, I'm assuming that Cre-C is just a variant of Rogaine.

How is shedding a good thing? Can somebody tell me? I'm shedding so much, I'm afraid to take showers.

From what I have heard ya it does but you have to continue using it because your hair comes back thicker.

You funny. Has nothing in common with Rogaine - latter being a minoxidil solution.

How is shedding a good thing?

Depends on the reason, i.e. is the reason the start of a therapy or discontinuation of a therapy.. If start of therapy it can mean (synchronised) start of a new growth phase, and if discontinuation of therapy it can mean (synchronised) cancellation of growth phase. However not every shedding (at start of therapy) is a good sign - as always, there are several possibilities.
