A 8.

Increased number of fallen hair is the result of regrowth of new hair in accordance with hair cycle. So, it is not possible to avoid minoxidil shedding (initial hair loss).

If you dilute the concentration of minoxidil solution, the degree of initial hair loss may become less. It may be better for you to begin with minoxidil solution in low concentration.

For example, you can begin to use 2-5% minoxidil solution, and increase the concentration of the solution gradually up to 10-15 % every several months.
