Telogen effluvium is a common hair loss condition where many hairs enter the resting phase, often not noticeable until significant loss occurs, and treatment focuses on the underlying cause.
A user shared their experience with hair shedding after switching from finasteride to dutasteride. They saw initial hair thickening, experienced shedding after 9 months, but the shedding has now stopped, and their hair is thick again.
Minoxidil can cause initialshedding, which is normal and not necessarily bad. Combining minoxidil with finasteride and RU58841 may improve hair regrowth.
Shedding is normal in the initial months of using 1mg finasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil, and new thicker hairs indicate the treatments are working. It may take up to a year to see full results, and the hairline might improve with continued use.
Minoxidil and finasteride are used for hair regrowth, but initialshedding can be distressing. Consistent use is important, and many users eventually see regrowth and thickening.
Dutasteride users report mixed experiences, with some experiencing significant hair shedding and others seeing improvement after initialshedding. Many users switch from finasteride to dutasteride, hoping for better results, but reactions vary widely, with some facing allergies or worsening hair loss.
