I'm a 17 year old boy who is experiencing hair loss. It's thinning quite a bit on the temples and there is actually very noticiable thinning on my scalp. It's annoying, and it would be wonderful to grow it back, but if minoxidil can't regrow my hair, how well does it work for just...

Oh, so I guess it just varies a lot. But I'm still wondering, is it basically a no-turning-back type of treatment? As in you will lose a lot of hair when you quit? And is there any argument/advice against using it before I start? I don't want to ruin anything for me.
