what do u consider shedding? is it normal shedding? at 14 years old, i used to put my head over a piece of paper and shake my hair all over the place. i used to always end up with like 10 hairs on the paper.
then id analyze them and get angry that i didnt have straight surfer hair but thats another story lol.

so people are always shedding hairs, of course u can get improve...hairs are growing back in their place...

average person loses about 100 hairs a day, i think i am way less than this, though, though i am keeping my hair just fine

i call "shedding" over the 100, when you are losing hair faster than regrowing it

i dont know.. ive heard the 100 thing and i do believe it, i mean mathematically its a fact..but i think that when u start to notice hairs all over the place when youre not doing anything to dislodge them...then you have begun to shed more than the 100 hairs.
I used to play with my hair all the time on purpose forcefully to dislodge them just to observe the natural wave that i have in my hair. but i never noticed hair in my hats, or hair on my shirts, or hairs on my hands in the shower...im sure i was shedding them like any other normal person...but i think when u start noticing them in such situations, you are now shedding more than the 100 hairs a day bec the 100 hairs arent even noticed. its what in addition to the 100 hairs that are.

I knew this thread was going to turn into this direction.

We all in this forum know that if someone loses 30 hairs a day in the shower, he will scare like mad and come to complain and say how he hates hairloss. I have seen some people complaining about loseing 15-20 hairs a day... And most people who say "losing 100 hairs a day is normal" are the same people to scare like mad when they lose 50 hairs a day (non stop for months), and those guys will even consider losing 20 hairs a day like a shedding... So, come on, and be serious...

Let's be more specific so nobody can say "losing 100 hairs a day is normal".

Consider someone who starts treatment (Propecia and minoxidil) and shed 30-40 hairs a day in the first 3 months. After that, he stops shedding, and lose maybe 10 hairs a day in the shower, which he considers normal. He continues this way until month 5, when he starts shedding again, 50 hairs a day. after that he continues shedding and it will never stop. So, I ask again, is it possible to shed forever and still notice general improvement? Or should the "amount of hair we lose a day" reduce to notice an improvement?
