How long did your initial minoxidil sheds last befor eyou started to see some regrowth. I have been on minoxidil for about 4 weeks and my hair has gotten much worse, so im just wondering how much linger I migh thave. Also, if you do experience an intial shed, does that mean minoxidil is working? thanks

My initial shed was about six weeks. Then it subsided, and since then I lose much less hair than I did before starting minoxidil. At about two months I noticed that my scalp coverage on my vertex and crown was starting to improve. I attributed that to my hair thickening. However, just in the last few days I have noticed some terminal hair regrowth on my hairline. Those hairs are too short for me to notice them in the mirror on my vertex and crown, but if they're growing on my hairline, they're almost certainly growing all over. I've been on minoxidil about three months.
