However, the shedding of terminal (thick and healthy) hairs could quite potentially be the normal <a href="http://www.regrowhair.com/general-hair-loss-topics/signs-of-hair-loss/" rel="nofollow">hair growth cycle</a> playing itself out, possibly exaggerated slightly due to <a href="http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org/hair-loss-blog/hair-loss-article.asp?CopyID=1071" rel="nofollow">seasonal shedding</a>. The good news is, permanent hair loss is not a reported side effect of taking Propecia. Since its recommended to give Propecia a full year before evaluating its effectiveness in treating hair loss, you may want to go the distance to see how it works out. Keep in mind that Propecia works much better at slowing down or stopping hair loss rather than growing new hair in completely bald areas. In my opinion, you may want to take quarterly photos of your balding scalp and then compare them to see if you notice any difference. If after a year your hair doesn't look any worse and/or hair loss seems to have slowed down, then Propecia is probably working for you. I hope this helps.
