ok, how long do sheds on average last?

[Guest]

If everyone who is expeirencing a shed right now to everyone who was expeirenced a shed please post in detail what it was like, how long it lasted, or how long have you been in one, the progress you made after the shed, and anything else you would like to add I would greatly appreciate it.

And Bruce, you have to understand ofcourse I care about a shed im only 17 and I am in high school. I just want to know how long I can expect a shed to last so I know how long Im going to have to live with a hat on. Im willing to go through it but I just want to know what to expect. Can a shed range for like 1 month, to 7? Whats the range? I just want to know what may lay ahead of me.

Around 10 months now and still shedding.

Man 10 months damn. I was thinking more like 1-4. Are you sure your gunna grow that back? What exactly do you use and where are you on the norwood scale?

i shed during month 1&2, regrew it during month 4.

Yea that seems average flux. So you where at a standstill with no change for month 3? Musta been a scary month for you lol. And system if I where you I would go consult a docter about that man. Keep your fingers crossed that its just a long shed but be on the safe side.

Oh yea flux, did you regrow some new hair? Did all the hair you shed grow back stronger? Was it worth it?

I did see two docters about my shed.My derm is about useless except that he gave me a script for Propecia.I asked him if he could do a DHT test on me to see where my levels were and he said he would get back to me and never did.I had a series of bloodwork done to check my thyroid and anything else that would show something related to my shed and all came up negative.I have been under alot of stress for the stretch of my shed related to my marraige.The only time I see hair shedding is after a shower and the hair I lose has nice white bulbs on them.I still have a good amount of hair.I guess I'm about a Norwood 2 using the big three.

I've been on finasteride for 3+ full years (since about this time in year 2000). I'm going through an unsual shed right now -- it has lasted for a couple of months, and most of the hairs are thick terminal hairs.

Either it's a monster shed, or something's awry. I hope the finasteride hasn't lost its effectiveness ...

D.

rum its probley just a shed. And system your hair is not really bad. Rogaine says if you dont see any results in a year there is no point to continue. To be on the safe side id finish off the year if I where you and hopefully your situation will pull through. Keep us posted.
