Why is my hair falling out and thinning at 16?

Puberty causes fluctuations in hormone levels that can potentially affect hair growth. Pattern hair loss can start immediately after puberty and progress over time. Pattern hair loss is the most common cause of hair loss for men and women.

Is it possible for Rogaine to make hair loss worse?

The short answer is, no, your Rogaine treatment is not causing you to lose more hair than before, and it will not make it worse than it would be in the future.

Why am I losing more hair with Rogaine?

As minoxidil speeds up the resting phase of your hair, sometimes it falls out more quickly than it normally would. However, minoxidil also extends the growth phase of your hair. That means that even though some hair shedding is to be expected at first, new hair growth should soon replace the hair that you’ve lost.

How long does shedding last with Rogaine?

How long does Minoxidil Shedding last? Minoxidil shedding (increased hair loss after using Minoxidil) typically only occurs at the beginning of your treatment. Research shows that minoxidil shedding starts 2-8 weeks after beginning the treatment. After that, the shedding is usually seen to subside.

When does minoxidil shed start?

2 to 8 weeks
Research shows shedding can begin 2 to 8 weeks after beginning Minoxidil use. Remember that this shedding is a good sign that the Minoxidil is increasing blood flow to your hair follicles and causing a jumpstart to your hair growth cycle. So, while this temporary phase might feel discouraging – not all hope is lost.

Does Rogaine cause hair loss and shedding?

A: Rogaine and shedding As you’ve pointed out, shedding is common with minoxidil (Rogaine) in the first 1-2 months. Hairs do not usually grow back after stopping a medication (Rogaine) that was intended to grow hair. Some initial shedding can be expected and this should improve as you continue to use the minoxidil.

Does Rogaine need to be permanently used?

Three months after discontinuation of therapy, hair counts were at or below baseline hair counts ( 10 ). This means that Rogaine needs to be used permanently. Androgenetic alopecia (one of the main causes of hair loss) is due to the action of hormones that are always being produced by the body.

Does derma Rolling help with Rogaine results?

(In conjunction very useful) However it will almost certainly result in some growth as long as you have living follicles. Derma rolling can help increase the absorption and therefore increase results from Rogaine. I noticed new hair growth in the first 2 months.

Does Rogaine make you feel self conscious?

Became extremely self conscious. Heard about 5\% Rogaine and saw a generic brand (Kirkland) advertised so I decided to make the commitment and order a 6 month supply of the liquid formula. I’ve had no side effects.
