What Causes Severe Hair Loss Despite Taking Rogaine?

default
Posted on Mon, 12 Sep 2016
Question: Hello

I have been using Rogaine for 2 months now. Actually two months will complete on 7th September 2016. My questions are:

1. My hair fall is still there, when i take bath hair falls is there (6-7 hair) and then during drying also there is hair fall. Will it stop or is it normal that these things happen

2. I can see some thin hair growing on the affected area, but they are thin, so after 4 months will the hair growth be visible.

3. I apply every morning before i go to work and then in evening after taking bath.

4. Is there any recommended shampoo to fast track the process or should i continue what i am doing.

Waiting to get an answer for the same.
