    Default Rogaine messed up my hair really bad!

    So I have been a romaine user for the last 4 years, and used it relegeously the first 2 years the 3rd year i didn't always apply it 2 times a day, only once. The 4rd year i had some days where i didn't apply it at all typically 2-3 days. For some reason my hair started to shed like crazy so i went back for the 2 times a day application, and have done so for for the past month, but my shedding is so excessive that I have lost my left temple in just 2-3 weeks!

    I don't know what to do. I'm shedding like crazy around 200-300 hairs per day and my hair is getting thinner an thinner for each day. I know I messed up, and that it is all my fault, but i can't avoid getting depressed. There has been days where i don't even want to go out in public, see friends etc. Everywhere i go, whatever i do, my thinning is all that I think about. I was thinking about trying out PRP at the end of this month, and if that fails too I wan to know if a HT is a option for thinning hair (no bald spots, but only thinning). The thinning on my head is now too obvious. My left temple is almost gone, all-over thinning, and a bald spot is tarting to emerge on the back of my head..

    Sometimes I think that cancer would be easier to deal with!

    NB: the excessive shed is something i notice whenever i apply romaine as the amount of hairs on my hands is just insane

    Missing a few days of rogaine shouldn't make your hair shed like that.

    I use a full cap once a day and occasionally miss days as well.

    I know spex only uses rogiane 5 days a week.

    Try not to worry, I shed like CRAZY while on Rogaine. Take a look what Rogaine did to me;

    I went from this:



    To this:



    And back to this:



    Mind you I was also on RU58841, but each time the shed was caused by Minoxidil.

    Hi Hellouser, I've been using finas 0.25mg for 8years now (i'm 30yrs old) and have started to have a receding hair line. The middle front of the hairline is sparse. I just bought Anagen Inc's RU bottle so i dont need to mix it myself. What do you think?

    Should i also add minox? Im afraid my telogen hairs will shed like crazy as i have long hair (25cm length) to hide scars at my crown from a car accident.

    How often do you shed?

    Thanks so much if you could help in any way. Im desperate and confused.

    With all current hair loss treatments, if you stop, all gains will be lost.
