 Those using [[minoxidil|minoxidil]] for beard growth may experience multiple, noticeable shedding stages, where hair from both the scalp and the beard appear to be falling more than usual. Continuing usage will allow you to get past the shedding, and the hair will regrow — generally fuller than before. Those using [[minoxidil|minoxidil]] for beard growth may experience multiple, noticeable shedding stages, where hair from both the scalp and the beard appear to be falling more than usual.

 If you don't notice a "shedding phase," it's not an indicator of the lack of shedding. It comes down to shedding less over a longer period of time, versus more over a shorter period of time. If you don't notice a "shedding phase," it's not an indicator of the lack of shedding.

 +Men losing about 10 beard hairs everyday is part of regular shedding. As everyone is different, men may shed more, but it should not be enough to make a difference in how your beard appears. New hair will come to replace the shed hair in time.
