Hellouser's RU Log (with Minox, CB Nizoral and Saw Palmetto)

That depends on your condition. Thin or miniaturized hairs are going to shed. If you dont have a lot of thin hair as it is .. then maybe you wont get a lot of shedding. If you respond well they will shed faster which is good in the long run. The hair may have to shed multiple times before it gets thick or terminal. I am in month 2 and started a second shed already. With the second shed I can still see my gains still. The only hair that is shedding is very very thin hair so its not really hurting my over all appearance.

One approach may be to stagger the parts of my scalp to which I apply RU to offset shed cycles should they occur. So perhaps start at my hairline for a couple of weeks before trying on the crown and interior.

That raises a question. I know the recommended dosage is at least 50mg/daily. But I assume if I am covering a smaller area then I would use a smaller amount? Or is that garbage math based on the science of absorption.

It looks like density was down at the 4-5week mark. Is there always this initial shed with RU?

Hellouser, the hair you have now are by far the best you had since 2011. Very well..Keep on using RU...

This is an amazing thread!

I can't get over the progression from what looks like almost a total loss back in January, to what I would consider significant coverage now. Unbelievable.

I don't know how you rode out that shed and stayed sane. Congrats my friend your hair looks very, very nice.

So I am about to pull the trigger. My question is to the rest of the RU users.

If I don't change anything else, but add around 60/mg RU in about 2ml of Minox applied 1/daily, should I expect a significant shed? Minox sheds are well documented and I have experienced these. But are RU sheds also common?

Thank you as always
