    Default If you stop using Fin, about how long before you lose the hair your have maintained?

    is it days, weeks, months? anyone have any experience with this.
    I am trying to determine if a shed I'm having is because of a higher strength minox I am using, or is a 3 week break i took from fin while I was waiting on a refill to come in

    Different for everyone bro. I read the norm is about 3 months on average for a big shed. But some guys say they come off to try for a baby with their wives and are fine up to six months. It's pot luck from what I understand of it.

    Bro I'm confident the shed is from the higher % minoxidil as the same happened to Aaron and now his hair has come back since he switched from 5% to 7.5%.

    So long as the dreaded MPB itch is gone your hair will come back in the next few months, again you also said whilst you stopped the dreaded itch come back?

    thanks jazz. i didnt know that a 3% increase could cause a shed. i didnt even shed this bad when i jumped from 5 to 12%. i need to be more proactive in making sure i order fin and minox before they run out
