I’ve started treatment but I’m still shedding hair. Is this normal?Updated 2 years ago
Started your minoxidil treatment but seeing more hair on your pillow or hairbrush? Don’t panic- not only is this normal, it means it’s working! Minoxidil will disrupt the growth cycles of your strands, causing a temporary shedding phase. This fallout of weaker hair is expected and allows thicker, healthier hair to grow in its place, locking hair in its growing phase longer. If you have health concerns or questions please contact your healthcare provider.
