Hey
Just wondering about that issue. I've got pretty long hair, and when I take showers I'm beginning to examine the hairs that I lose. Anyway, sometimes I lose lots of long hairs, and sometimes I don't lose so many of them. But I ALWAYS lose quite a few short, thin hairs.
In all probability, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
My regimen consists of Neutrogena shampoo (T-Sal) 2x week, Nizoral 2x week, and 2% minoxidil 2x day. No propecia. I'm just wondering if there's any way to tell whether the hairs I'm losing are a good thing or a bad thing.
I've read lots of stories about people complaining about losing short hairs, but also seen lots of people get excited over the same thing. I'm not sure whether I should be positive, negative or neutral on this issue.
Also, in (what I believe is) a related issue, my long hair has become increasingly difficult to style. I think I've grown some back, but there seem to be so many thin hairs that are almost impossible to control (short and long). I'm wondering whether THIS would suggest a good thing or a bad thing in addition to the above question about my "short hair loss". I mean, are my follicles less healthy NOW, or have previously "dead" follicles gradually started to resurrect themselves, thus leading to the strange thin hairs all over my head?
I know people are going to chime in with the "it's different for everyone" idea, but I'm just looking for a general response. I understand there are exceptions- I'm just wondering if there is a general RULE to which those "exceptions" would apply.
So...
Your thoughts?
(Thanks)
