Answer: Hair loss with Rogaine Some patients may shed hair when they first start Rogaine, but this is temporary. Hair growth is a cyclical process with growth, rest, shedding phases. Rogaine may cause some of the hairs to switch to the shedding phase to allow for a new growth phase, which is a good thing. I would continue Rogaine for at least 6 months. If you have further questions, I recommend consultation with a hair restoration surgeon.
