:cry: I am now about 1 month into using minoxidil 5% twice daily, and my hairline has been completely ravaged bigtime. Portions are even completely bare now, nothing but scalp. I am afraid to continue using it and afraid to stop. It takes all my courage and a leap of faith to keep on using it every day.
Although I expected a shed, this is beyond anything that I ever imagined. The loss/shed is all the way to mid scalp. Funny thing is that the mid scalp portion and crown were not really affected. Hardly any hair shed from these areas at all. And these are the areas where my hair is the most miniturized and weakest. Almost exclusively all the loss was in the hairline and the area directly behind it. What gives?
I am hoping that others who have experienced this large scale shed on minoxidil can offer some hope and advice. Although I confident that some of the shed hair will regow, I am anxious to hear from others. Particularly, were you affected in the hairline also, what percentage of hair regrew, and how long did it take.
Thanks in advance
