Hi
@Rudi, well in the beginning I was very happy because instead of 200+ on washing days, I was losing 100 sometimes even less. Then came the shed and now I am losing 160-200 again. So I can't tell if the shed is over or my loss just accelerated. But I can tell for sure that it's more visible where I apply and most of the hairs are the finer ones. Do you think that it is like with minoxidil, you lose in the beginning? Thank you for always replying.
Hi Sofia, I am not an expert. I just can make educated guesses.
1. Did you consult a dermatologist?
2. Do you dye your hair? I did once using Wella for men. My hair got thinner because of all the chemicals. An ex of mine recommended biological dye colours. Now I am using Logona. They are certified by different organizations in Germany. And indeed, my hair recovered. It also increases thickness due to a layer that forms around the hair. Logona can be a bit of a pain to use though!!
3. Have a look in my regimen. I have detailed there, what I am using. Avodart is my first line of defence. It has been my saviour. I also needle once a fortnight
4. People have doubts about Trinov. I am not sure if its good or not. I am not concerned about the price. I have been wasting money on much more expensive things in my life. Have a look in my post from earlier today. It details how I apply it. On damp hair its much better to use. The hair itself is full of water hence it probably absorbs less Trinov. Therefore I have less greasy hair. A damp scalp improves absorption. BTW, shaking and massaging it into the scalp is written in the instructions section (in Italian).
Time will tell if it is effective or not. I dont like minoxidil due to sides.
5. Shedding: my understanding is that increased shedding is a normal process for perhaps about two weeks. Google minoxidil shedding. There is a lot of info. Because Trinov is supposed to work in a similar way you probably have to expect shedding. However yours is pretty strong. I am having since 10 days increased shedding. Perhaps 40 hairs in the shower..used to be around 20. Bad feeling to be honest but I accept it. For you I guess its best to accept it too. However you have a high shedding rate. Again, make sure you are not using chemical dye and see a dermatologist if you have not done so already. I am using Logona nettle shampoo. Its also certified. I dont use the supermarket stuff!!
6. Keep an eye on Medipost CM-3. In the relevant thread I wrote a post that links to Medipost information. If all legit, no worries anymore. I think I mentioned that a few weeks in a reply to you.
Cheers
