What happens after quitting minoxidil

[tommy079]

many ppl look better with the buzzed look than with long hair. but noboy looks better bald than with hair. Some ppl do look good bald but they will look way better if they just have a hairline to frame their face and then sport the buzzed look.

I really don't want to be a razor skin shaved bald guy. I just don't see myself that way. I wouldn't mind being the "we can all tell you are losing your hair and that's why you keep your hair clippered really low-guy".

Regardless, and in an attempt to bring this back to the original point:

Is the shed so bad that it makes those of you who ever tried menoxidil regret that you ever started it in the first place?

Does the massive shed start 3 months after quitting?

or

Does the shed start and last for 3 months?, getting the worst at 3 months

It depends on the person. Each person is going to react to the lack of the drug in their system a different way.

This is not a "one size fits all" kind of thing. Not everyone will react the exact same way. Some people have no dread shed at all while others experience a massive shed. Most people are somewhere in the middle. There is no way to predict which one you will be.

i started minox around 5 weeks ago, right after i had an HT. i alway keep my hair buzzed, so with buzzed hair it's really hard to tell if you are shedding, i don't feel like im shedding but again im not sure since my hair is clippered.

Tracy is 100% right here.

Hey, you can even go through different sheds yourself. I am currently (hopefully at the end of) the worst shed I have ever experienced. I've been on and off Minox for 10years. I think its all about your hair cycles.
