I recently read a study that determined that human hair growth cycle typically causes about 90% of hair to go into anagen in the summer time, particularily between March and July. The shedding increases in the winter time. Their hypothesis was that in the winter there is less Sun so the body preps itself to receive more Vitamin D. I can't find the study in particular but from my general reading on the internet it does seem most people experience growth in the summer time. A lot of females go into detail about this with their hair growth.
When do you notice your hair growing most?
I actually did notice my hair starting to grow recently and i'm at my 10 month mark for propecia. If this is true could this be a factor in why some people see results sooner than others? Say you start taking propecia during the growth phase in the summer time, the drug could not possibly have reduced the accumulation of DHT during this time so you see no results. The next time you really see results are around next summer which is about the year mark which Merck says you should use to determine results. Now some people may start taking it 6 months prior to the growth phase and by then the drug may have done enough for them to see some results. But say you take it 4 months prior to this phase and the drug just has not had enough time to do its magic. This means that you may have to wait yet another year for the next growth phase which would make it about 16 months to see results. A lot of people are also mentioning big results in that time period. So if the growth phase seems to occur more likely in the summer time then 2 years for propecia to work seems logical depending on when you started taking it.
I'm damn happy to see how much hair is just sprouting out on my head. It's growing like weed!
