Eyebrow hair goes through a normal life cycle just like the hair anywhere else on your body, but this doesn’t sound like natural cycling based on what you describe. If you have been rubbing the eyebrows (more about the repetition as opposed to the aggressiveness), this can cause traction alopecia to the hair on the […]

Your hair loss on Propecia probably has nothing to do with the drug, but rather the progressive nature of your genetic hair loss which (based on what you wrote) seems to be aggressive. Shedding at 9 months is not a good sign. At 1-2 months shedding can be a positive sign as we interpret this […]
Propecia (finasteride) won’t produce more balding in the traditional sense. On rare occasions, there have been reports that some hair shed may occur in the first 2 months of taking this drug, and if/when this occurs, it is thought to reflect an acceleration of normal hair cycling. That’s what I mean by it not being […]
You may have psoriasis rather than seborrheic dermatitis. The hair that is going to fall out in normal hair cycling will often come out with the big flakes. You need to be evaluated by a dermatologist.
I concur, it can be difficult to determine whether you’re seeing just normal cycling or early signs of hair loss, but I really do not know the answer to your question. Your hair should shed evenly throughout your scalp, but it could be that you apply more of the sticky hair product to the top […]
We all have different hair lengths because of hair cycling. It can, I suppose, be regional.
Are you asking if not washing yourself for 2 weeks is normal? I’d have to say no. The hair loss you have seen is probably just shed hair (about 100 per day is normal or 1400 per 2 week period) and these are from the normal hair cycling which were trapped amongst other hairs. Hairs […]
The thinner, lighter hairs you likely see at the frontal hairline and temples are called vellus hairs in normal non-balding men and they could be miniaturized hairs as well in the balding male. Vellus hairs are normal and help to create the visual transition from hair to no hair (from scalp to face). The hairs […]
I am pleased you are seeing some positive results with finasteride and are excited about where things are headed. It generally takes about 6 to 12 months to see the difference after starting the medication. With respect to hair cycles, our hairs are constantly cycling with about 90% of them growing (anagen phase) and 10% […]
I do understand your question, but you need to understand that it’s normal to lose 100+ hairs a day. 20 to 30 hairs on your comb each day shouldn’t be a cause for concern. The hair loss from minoxidil is documented for the first two months when hair cycling is accelerated. There is good science […]
Catch up hair loss takes about 1 to 3 months after stopping Propecia. Hair loss will accelerate to “catch up” to the point where you would have been if you never had taken Propecia in the first place. You will NOT have more hair loss than if you’d never taken Propecia. The bulb at the […]
Some people report not liking the Rogaine Foam for the same reasons. Having never used it, I can not comment on your complaint. It should be the same when comparing liquid and the foam with regard to results. Twice a day use should be better than once a day use, but you may have accelerated […]
The general hair cycling is somewhat random when we look at it. I can not imagine why your hair looks better sometimes than other times. We’ve all heard of a “bad hair day,” so maybe that is what you are talking about. Are you doing anything different with your hair during the periods in question?
Hair loss does occur on Propecia and it could be ‘accelerated cycling’ of your existing hair. That being said, I don’t know what is happening to you, since there is no way for me to tell over the internet. When people lose hair, the hair may be lost early in a cycle, but there is […]
I have heard that in some patients, there is a period of increased shedding after starting Propecia, but this will stop within a few months in almost every one experiencing the problem. Some doctors believe that Propecia increases the cycling of hair, but I have no way to ascertain if this is the cause or […]
