I seem to be losing a lot of hair in the front of my scalp. I've been applying foam to my temples and hairline for 3 months.
I seem to have gained some fuzz- but overall the thinning is very discouraging.
My question is this- it seems we've come to the concensus that minoxidil can cause hairs to shed (and potentially grow back healthier). I know that we don't know the exact science behind minoxidil, but why does this happen?
Does minoxidil only affect hairs that are going to fall out anyway, i.e. hairs that have already been harmed by DHT? How does it "pinpoint" these hairs?
Of course i ask these questions because this thinning that seems to have coincided with Rogaine use is really a shame- and it'd be reassuring to know that's a sign of good things to come!
thanks dudes.
