So for a couple of years I was on propecia and minoxidil. Main problem was crown thinning.
7 months ago I got a hair transplant and was told that I have to stay on propecia but that I could stop minoxodil and it wasn't a big deal at all. At first things were okay but then by month 4 I had extreme diffuse thinning all over my top (non transplanted areas)
a couple of months later my hair started to come back in those areas. Now it's 7 months since stopping minoxidil and my hair is shedding like absolutely crazy. I run my hand through my hair and get 5-7 hairs on my hand. I shake my hair over the sink and 30-40 hairs fall out.
This is just by running my hand through my hair and shaking it. I lose even more in the shower.
Is it possible to have 2 massive sheds after stopping minoxidil?
I had an insane shed already that topped out at 4 months off minoxidil, and now I'm getting another one since mid August.
I've heard seasonal shedding is a thing, but it sounds insane to be losing this much of hair during it. Not sure what to do.
If I get back on minoxodil, will it still have a good effect?
