When I comb my hair after a shower, I shed normal hair but also VERY thin hair (probably vellus hair?). These are max 2 cm long and are very thin, almost not visible. I really wonder whether it's normal to shed these hairs. Other than that, I have a full head of hair and no sign of balding.

The 2 main differences are that 5% minoxidil is FDA approved, the 10% minoxidil is not, and 10% typically would have greater benefits for hair but it also has a higher risk of side effects.
For this particular condition it is better to be seen by a dermatologist to determine which treatment method is right for you. Typically this is treated topically and not orally.
