I've been dealing with hair loss since 2015 and had been using minoxidil 5% for over a year. I stopped using it about 6 months ago but started again a month ago and I think the shedding phase is done. I saw a trichologist who recommended Xfolia hair gain serum and hairgain pills since I'm in a type 3 pattern. Have you heard of this Xfolia stuff? How long does it usually take to see results with this kind of treatment, because I couldn't find any info about it online?

I've noticed that I lose about 20 hairs every day after I take a bath and when I pull on them a bit. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of hair shedding? It's been on my mind lately, and I just want to make sure everything's okay.
