Read about hair cycling here. If you monitor your hairline this way, I would suggest that you (1) always lift your brow so as to see the highest crease and (2) collect serial photographs with your brow lifted. Good luck to you, as the quest may take a few years to understand what is happening […]

There are some reports of accelerated hair loss from Propecia, but this is probably just accelerated hair cycling and after it takes its course, the growth (anagen) part of the hair cycle will pick up and grow more hair.
Nope. Neither minoxidil nor Propecia are herbal medications, although finasteride (Propecia) was discovered in the Amazon rainforest amongst natives who showed problems with penis development and hermaphroditism. Yes, strange but true. I don’t know of any link between Rogaine (minoxidil), Propecia (finasteride), and kidney problems. The benefits of either medication will disappear if you discontinue […]
I haven’t heard of Foltene before, but I checked out the site. The ingredients are a bunch of vitamins and something they are calling “Tricosaccaride”, which according to information I can only find on their company site, is something that they discovered in the 60s. Common sense time — If this really worked as claimed, […]
I do not have experience with treating a Vitamin D deficiency and the recovery from it. Assuming that you do not have male patterned baldness on top of it, I would imagine that the hair should recover (I used “should” because it is logical that it would) in the normal cycling phase, which may take […]
I’m not sure I follow your question. Are you suggesting that hair loss occurs for a month or two and then stops… and cycles that way? That’s not how it works. Normal hair loss reflects hair cycling, which can account for 100-150 hairs falling out per day. There are no general rules about what is […]
The use of minoxidil may promote hair cycling. If it does, the initial stage could be hair loss, but that will go away in 2-3 months and the anagen cycle starts up.
White bulbs are what we normally see with rotational shedding from hair cycling. There’s nothing unusual there. If you are female, you need to have a doctor’s examination and opinion, as there are too many possible reasons for hair loss in women. If you are male, then a miniaturization mapping is appropriate, as genetics is […]
Hair, even in the mustache, does go through cycling, so some loss each day is normal provided that it is not so great as to cause defects in your facial hair.
If you stopped the Propecia (finasteride) and the hair loss got worse, then what you were experiencing when you went on it was a spurt of accelerated hair cycling, not shedding. When/if shedding really occurs, it does not last more than a couple of months, and the rest is probably a bad hair loss situation. […]
The washing action will bring out those hairs that would have probably fallen out on their own in the wind or when you do other things throughout the day. Washing will not bring out any more hair than the normal cycling would have brought out on their own.
Although pregnancy can impact hair growth as more hair goes into the resting phase of hair cycling, the presence of a bald spot probably indicates a cause other than pregnancy related hair loss. I suggest that you see a dermatologist. There is little I can do here through the internet.
I would want to examine you and perform miniaturization studies on you before you went on these drugs and after. Now add to the complexity that you are reporting a failure of the medications to work and want an explanation from me. That’s a very difficult thing for me to do over the Internet. Go […]
You are angry without basis. I agree that shedding is a real reported event, but it is less common than not shedding. The hair lost in the ‘shed’ should be hairs that are pushed out of anagen and into telogen. The cycling of hair here is a positive thing, because the new hair cycle will […]
Many things are a possibility. The most common cause of hair loss is from your genetic predisposition to losing hair. While Propecia works for male pattern baldness, it does not simply cure it or stop it completely in some men. There are reports of hair loss in the first few months of taking Propecia, which […]
