Ive used topical minoxidil from the time I was 23-27 and stopped using all together. 6 months ago I started up again as I noticed ALOT of shedding and my hairline moving back. Currently I’m taking 2.5mg min oral once daily and 5mg topical min at night but the shedding has stayed the same amount. The picture attached is what I typically catch in my hand while I’m shampooing my head every 2 or 3 days (low porosity hair if that makes a difference). My hair feels healthy and not at all brittle but I’m just constantly shedding. Occasionally I use keto anti fungal shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff. I’ve recently been seeing ghk-cu serums and curious if anyone has had any experience with that to possibly help my situation. Fin is not an option for me sadly.
Shedding can be part of the hair growth cycle with min. You might just be in the adjustment phase, but it should settle over time. Keep using the keto shampoo to help with scalp health, and consider trying gbk-cu serums if you’re curious, though evidence is limited. Since you’re not using fin, sticking with min and exploring alternatives that work with your low porosity hair is a good path.
