help!
Im currently 17 years old and have been experiencing a receding hairline at the age of 13. I have really thin hair at the temples and it's becoming very difficult to conceal it with frontal hair bangs :( My grad dance is this year and my hairloss is rapidly becoming a big issue (did i mention that I'm a girl?) My hair loss is positively due to heredity, since my grandfather and mother have the same problem. \it's extremely noticeable and embarassing. I was thinking of buying some Rogaine 5 foam but based on my intense research and blog-reading, I frequently stumble upon the nasty shedding period and how some did not experience any regrowth.

PLEASE HELP find or give some advice on how to solve this problem. I'm not on any crash diet or pills and please keep in mind that I'm a poor student with a part time job with minimum wage T-T.
THANKS alot for reading !!
