Minoxidil and TRIOXIDIL® are both topical solutions used by men and women looking to improve the appearance of thinning hair or early stage hair loss, but they work through different approaches.

Minoxidil is an over-the-counter drug regulated by the FDA for hair loss. It uses a medication based formula with clinically established effects for helping improve the appearance of hair in areas affected by thinning.

TRIOXIDIL®, by contrast, is a drug-free proprietary complex developed by FOLIGAIN®. It is a triple action nutrient blend designed with natural and bioactive ingredients to support a healthier looking scalp environment and improve the visible thickness, strength, and density of hair. TRIOXIDIL® focuses on cosmetic benefits that help hair look fuller and more resilient over time.

Shedding, in the context of using hair regrowth products, refers to a temporary increase in hair loss that some individuals may experience when they begin a new hair treatment regimen. This phenomenon is often known as "shedding" or "shedding phase." It can be a cause of concern for those using hair regrowth products, but it is generally considered a normal part of the hair growth cycle and the body's response to the introduction of a new treatment.

Here's an explanation of shedding in the context of hair regrowth products:

1. Transition Period: When individuals start using certain hair regrowth products, especially those containing active ingredients like Minoxidil or other growth stimulants, the hair follicles may go through a transition period.
   
2. Stimulation of Dormant Follicles: Hair regrowth products often work by stimulating hair follicles to transition from a resting (telogen) phase to an active growth (anagen) phase. This stimulation can cause existing hairs in the telogen phase to be shed as new, healthier hairs begin to grow.
   
3. Normal Part of the Process: Shedding is a natural part of the hair growth cycle. It doesn't mean the product isn't working; instead, it indicates that the hair follicles are responding to the treatment and making way for new, potentially thicker and healthier strands.
   
4. Temporary: Shedding is usually temporary, and it may last for a few weeks. It is essential to differentiate between normal shedding and prolonged or excessive hair loss, which may be a sign of an underlying issue.
   
5. Consultation with a Professional: If shedding persists or if there are concerns about hair loss, it's advisable to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional. They can assess whether the shedding is within normal limits or if any adjustments to the treatment regimen are necessary.

It's important for individuals using hair regrowth products to be patient and give the treatment time to show its effects. If there are concerns about shedding or overall hair health, seeking guidance from a healthcare professional can provide valuable insights and reassurance.

Hair thinning and hair loss are ongoing concerns for many men and women, which means any topical routine works best when it becomes part of long term care. Consistent use is essential for maintaining the visible improvements achieved with your chosen treatment.

Like all hair loss routines, this is an ongoing cosmetic management approach. If use is stopped, the appearance of thinning may gradually return to what it would have looked like without any intervention. Staying consistent helps support fuller, healthier looking hair over time.
