IMO, too early to tell, especially if you are using the solution.

Seems to early but I suppose it could happen, did you experience any shed. I started on Jan 22 and now using the foam for the last week and I have a minor shed going on and I thought that was too early to happen. anyways can you post some pix since you shave ur head daily we could see some before and after, im interested.

As for the dry scalp, I use Nizoral 2% 3x a week and Nioxin shampoo and conditioner daily and scalp has no problems. I know it helped cause I tried minoxidil in the past without the nizoral, nioxin and my scalp was allways dry and breaking out and I would discontinue use of minoxidil.
