While they don’t come with guarantees, they have both proven to be effective for the majority of men in slowing down, stopping, and even reversing hair loss. Cosmetically significant hair regrowth however, is quite rare and... The body is a complicated instrument and without undergoing a medical examination, it would be impossible for me to know with certainty what's causing your daughter's hair loss. There are a number of conditions that can cause baldness, especially in women. Some of these include... Propecia doesn't work for everyone, but unless you've experienced side effects, it's recommended to use it for at least a year before evaluating its effectiveness. That said, Rogaine may very well have been slowing down further hair loss. Using both hair loss treatments combined gives balding men the best chance at fighting baldness from both ends. While Propecia (finasteride) inhibits... An initial hair shedding period is typical with just about any treatment for hair loss. Nioxin shampoo and conditioner in my opinion are among the best at cleansing the scalp and volumizing the hair, making it appear thicker and fuller. That said, i wouldn't count on Nioxin alone to... In my opinion, the best time to apply Rogaine (minoxidil) is once in the morning after your shower and then again in the evening before bed. There's nothing wrong with leaving Rogaine on your scalp and you don't have to shower more than usual... Since Rogaine foam and Rogaine 5% liquid contain the same concentration of the active ingredient minoxidil, I'm not sure why you would want to take both. Rogaine foam has proven to be more effective than the liquid by approximately 21% in FDA trials. Thus, if you like the foam better, you could... It's quite possible that Propecia (finasteride) is indeed working for you at least in minimizing the amount of hairs you're losing. The fact that you are noticing longer, thicker hairs shedding may also be a good sign. The shedding of thinning, miniaturized hairs is an indication of male pattern baldness while the shedding of thicker, terminal hairs could be just a part... In my opinion, it's better to shower first before applying Rogaine for hair loss to your scalp. Alternatively, if you shower after applying Rogaine, you should wait approximately 4 hours before doing so in order to achieve maximum benefit. Rogaine recommends application twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening... I hate to say this, but your replacement dermatologist really did you a disservice taking you off Propecia (finasteride) if you were benefiting from it. Non-surgical hair loss treatments only provide benefits for those who continue to take them. So unless you were experiencing side effects from the drug, coming off Propecia is a mistake. I'd encourage you to consider... What people are saying about losing up to 100 hairs daily is true. However, if you've noticed a significant increase in the number of hairs shedding or you are seeing visual signs of thinning hair, you may be experiencing early onset of male pattern baldness. On the other hand, if you are losing hair from the sides and back of your scalp... Based on the photo you've attached, it looks like you may be experiencing a non-genetic hair loss referred to as traction alopecia. This type of hair loss can occur due to unintentional hair pulling such as tight braiding, ponytails, headbands, dreadlocks, etc. that add too much strain on the hair follicles...
