I have been on minoxidil 2% for almosr 3 months, just switced to 5% and I am still shedding alot. I started shedding after 1.5 week and it's still going on. I am starting to notice alot of very thin hairs that were not there before. They are not very impressive but they are growing longur, not thicker though. BUT, my hair looks worse than it did before I started the minoxidil. My question is; why does my hair look so much thinner now even if I have started to grow alot of new hairs?? It doesn't make sense?
