Rogaine Foam

[mayo783]

Ive been on rogaine foam for 4+ weeks, and am still shedding badly. Rogaine claims the shedding should slow after 2-4 weeks. How much longer should I give it?

IMO 3 more months

you may be an early responder

plus hair that falls out now was already going to fall out

you follicle stops growing the hair and then it rests for like 60 days or soo

then it falls out cause a new hair coming in

so in essence your early shedding may caused alot of your resting follicles to jump back in and produce a hair

causing it to fall out

if your shedding less than 100 hairs a day then that is also not "shedding"

hope this helps

hair recovery takes time and a lot of people give up too soon and wish they didn't

Im now at the 5 1/2 week mark, and the shedding is slowing down. Im so glad I didnt quit during the initail shed, it looks like it might be working like its supposed to.
