So i started taking Pumpkin seed extract and my hair loss stopped completely for like 3 days…not a single hair fell out…now its week 2.5 and this morningi took a shower and like 45 hairs fell out…most of them dark straight non miniaturized hairs…i have been on prop for like 7 yrs and nizoral 2% for 1 yr…take hair vitamins and scalp massages etc…i added the pumpkin seed cuz my hair was acting very weird adn curling in the front tangling…i took the pumnpkin seed extract and it reversed it which is good…but why is my hair falling out like crazy this morning…i didnt wash it for like 2 days and it was oily…but do u think the pumpkin seed is making me shed??? is this a good shed where new hair better hairs will grow or bad shed as in not grow back and start balding?? Some advice would be great!!! thanks

well, I don’t care what the so called “experts” think, but I don’;t believe there is such a thing as a good shed.
btw, nothing can stop hair loss in 3 days, that was a fluke,

I would be surprised if this shedding was due to the pumpkin seeds - there must be another factor. For example, did you just have a period of stress - even for example thinking more about your hair? Also, did you change something in your diet, e.g. ate more grains (incl. wholegrain)/milk products/refined sugar/iron-rich food recently?
Pumpkins seed are supposed to act as a low DHT blocker, and have the highest content of Zinc. Saying that, I read somewhere that too much Zinc can badly influence the intake of copper (your hair need some), particularly if the intake is higher than 400% of the recommended daily intake (don’t ask me about the reference - can’t find it anymore).
You might want to copy your post in the Natural forum - posters like Pete2, Jakob, The Natural and Hanging might be more useful in finding a better answer than me.

Dude … 3 days is not a response … I reckon you should stick your pumpkin seeds up your arse … and try 10mg Loratadine daily … take for at least 4 weeks to see a response … reduced my shedding by about 80% … going on almost 7 months now.

Mate … you cannot evaluate your hair loss on a daily basis … there are too many factors that come into play … even for someone like me who washes their hair …and counts lost hairs … once a week … there are significant varaitions every week. You can only look at trends over 3 months plus to see if an intervetion is having a response.
if you’re like me, I’ve had probably about 3 major sheds since being on proecia for the last 10 years. AFter each shed, i had a bit more permanent hair loss…
i had another major shed that started in april 2009 and i’m not sure if it has stopped…
it went from NW2 to NW4 in matter of 1 year and went on propecia and went back to close NW2 …now after 10 years, i’m somewhere around a NW3
it’s only a matter of time before i get to NW4 on my way to NW5…you get the picture…
you can’t stop your progression to your genetically predisposed hairloss , you can only slow it down…
