COVID-19 can cause a type of hair loss that usually starts 3-6 months after the illness, and treatment includes stress reduction and hair care products like Minoxidil.

ENERGI-F701 solution was found to be more effective and safer than Regaine® 2% minoxidil solution in treating female pattern hair loss, with increased hair density and less side effects.
The user experienced increased hair shedding after one month on 0.25 mg finasteride, despite initial improvement. This shedding may be a normal phase in the hair cycle and could improve in the coming months.
Minoxidil can cause initialshedding, which is normal and not necessarily bad. Combining minoxidil with finasteride and RU58841 may improve hair regrowth.
A 23-year-old male experienced initial success with finasteride, topical minoxidil, and ketoconazole for hair loss, but persistent shedding and scalp issues led him to switch to dutasteride without improvement. Users suggest stress management, addressing potential seborrheic dermatitis, and patience with the treatment process.
A user experienced initial success with finasteride, noticing reduced hair fall and stronger hair, but later faced a heavy shedding phase. The shedding has since slowed, and they are seeking advice on what to do next.
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.
