Hey, I’ve been using minoxidil for 4 months now. Around the 3rd month I started to see those slightly shorter hair that were sticking out of my hairline. I though its a new growth, but around this time (4 months of use) I’ve started to notice that it might look worse and worse. This honestly scares me a lot, I am thinking about not using minoxidil anymore because before using it I had slight corners but nothing bad. I am scared that it will get worse. I am aware of the minoxidils effect of accelerated hair shedding during the early stages but scared of it getting worse and worse. Does anyone has any advice or similar experience?
min can cause initial shedding, which might be why you’re seeing these changes. Those shorter hairs are likely new growth, which is a good sign. Stick with it, as the shedding should subside, and you might start seeing better results in a few more months. Check out The Beginner’s Guide for more info.
