Probably a dumb question...

As the title says, this is probably a dumb question.. But oh well! I'll ask anyway.

How do you know you are shedding when you are on a hairloss treatment like finasteride, Rogaine etc. if you were already shedding like crazy before because you were loosing your hair? I mean, the reason we start the treatments are because we are thinning/receding/shedding right? So how does one know they are shedding from treatments?

Sorry for the dumb question, haha.

I get what you're talking about man. It's not a dumb question, it's just hard to have faith in treatments when your hair keeps falling out while you're on them. I don't have the answer for you, maybe you can tell by the kind of hairs that are falling out as some people claim they mainly shed miniaturised hairs when experiencing a "finasteride shed" but I can't give you a clear answer.

I myself am on RU (6 months), fin & minox (both 4 months) and I have thinned out quite a bit as well. We just have to play the waiting game, there's nothing else we can do really.

Totally. It definitely is just playing the waiting game and having some hope I guess. Good luck with your treatments man. Have you noticed an improvement yet from fin and minox?
