Transplanted hairs grow out in waves — some probably at 3 months, some at 4 months, some at 5 months, and so on. Hair cycling is the cause of the delayed growth start, since your hairs are coming out of their cycle at different points in time. Each hair that was transplanted was in a […]

There is a good point in your questions. When hair shows miniaturization and the hair shafts get thinner, the hair stops growing to its normal length. I suspect that the length it grows to will reflect the amount of miniaturization. The more miniaturization, the less the hair length. Many men with advanced miniaturization of the […]
When I woke up yesterday, the birds were chirping and the air was crisp and I had a great day. Today when I woke up the dog was barking and the air was smoggy and I had a bad day. Do you think I had a good day because the birds where chirping or the […]
A maturing hairline generally appears in the late teenage years to the late twenties. A small degree of recession in the corners can certainly be normal, but that always seems to be determined by the individual’s perception. To answer your question, miniaturization of hair may occur as the frontal hair slowly falls out or more […]
I would have to render a guess. This is the first time I can remember having this question put to me. Synchronous hair cycling is something humans are not supposed to do. It is possible that your hair in this area has a shorter geneticaly programmed hair cycle than the surrounding hair. This would produce […]
I generally tell my patients that it is best to take finasteride in the morning when normal testosterone levels are highest. It makes the most sense to me. I would also doubt that exercising and the drug have any cyclical impact on testosterone. We can logically believe that if hair is a good insulator, it […]
Sometimes it is thought that Propecia, when it is working, may accelerate the cycling of the hair. If this happens, there is a possibility that hair loss might worsen temporarily after starting Propecia. Most people who are responding to Propecia should be minimizing or preventing further male pattern hair loss and that is what most […]
The use of minoxidil should not cause shedding, nor I expect Spironolactone medications. Normal hair (not genetically weak) should not be affected by either Spironolactone nor minoxidil, but the dependencies that are built from these medications for genetically impacted hair is well documented. Cycling these medications may just cause them to be less effective if […]
I always tell people to wait at least 8 months, even a year to get the growth to return. Hair goes through cycles and you must wait out the cycling of the hair to see the new growth. Since your surgery was in April of this year, that suggests that new growth should start between […]
What you are seeing is the shedding of the miniaturized hairs. Some physicians believe that the shedding impacts these miniaturized hair as they are forced into the hair cycling. The hair on the scalp follows three life cycles: Anagen Telogen Catagen Once the hair falls out, I would expect that it would be replaced by […]
You should go back to the doctor who prescribed you Propecia and address these concerns. The shedding you are talking about is something that I have heard before and the thought is that you may be experiencing accelerated hair cycling, a precursor to increased growth which may be following in a few months. Hang in […]
There are two possible explanations to your further thinning of hair after using Rogaine. The first one is that it might be a continuing course of your hair loss with or without using Rogaine. On the other hand, Rogaine may induce further hair loss a few weeks or months after initial usage by increasing the […]
There are many new approaches for the treatment of male genetic balding that fall below the radar. I tell my patients that there are a few hundred steps to growing and cycling hair in the human body. What we know appears to be very little with regard to the identification of each of these steps […]
Some people have reported increased shedding after starting Propecia. One medical explanation for this reflects accelerated hair cycling. Hair goes into various phases, producing growth (anagen) or regression (catagen). If cycling is accelerated to bring in more anagen hairs, then regression may be seen to cycle into more anagen hairs. You must stay on the […]
Humans have asynchronous hair cycling, which means that we do not shed hair like other mammals that lose hair in the summer and grow their hair/fur in the winter months. In your case though, it sounds like the heat of the boiler running in the winter is contributing to your hair loss, despite what I […]
