Does shed hair grow back?

 

[Topher]

Hair will fall out then come back thicker and healthier. Shedding should be looked at as a good thing in cases not always a bad thing.

 

[Unacknowledged]

Its due to the change from the telogen fase to anagan. Its hair you would lose anyway. Doesnt mean it cant go sideways and you never recover. But like stated above people quit to soon.

Dutasteride is a castrating nuclear bomb. If that can’t save you, nothing will.

I heard its just as safe as finasteride

Is it true some people bald faster on finasteride? How is this possible?

I think there are two main reasons people think that, the first is shedding. Old hairs damaged by dht gets pushed out to make room for thicker stronger hair, it's a good thing but some people panic and quit and they never get to the phase were the hairs grow back healthier. The testing phase is 3 months, it could take longer since you're hair isn't normal yet.

Another reason is your imagining that you're thinning, this happened to me the first few months on finasteride. When you start taking anti hair loss drugs you're sensitive, paranoid, and every hair on your comb feels like a huge loss.

I shedded for 6 months straight until it stopped. It never came back

Was that finasteride or dutasteride? shedding even 6 months in isn't that unusual, i have seen reports of people still getting a shed around the 12 months mark and it regrew. What is your current regimen?

dutasteride. The shed stopped almost completely. I thought i would now get regrowth, which would be the logical conclusion when a massive shedding phase like that comes to an end (which is what decimated by hair by the way).
I gave it another 6 months so 12 in total. I know it takes time, but after 6 months i didnt even have any signs of regrowth or incoming regrowth.

My current regimen is a cocktail of substances
