community Losing hairs is not the same as balding
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can cause initial shedding as they restart the hair growth cycle, but this is not an indicator of treatment failure. The effectiveness of these treatments should be judged by cosmetic changes over time, not by daily hair loss counts.
