Hey guys, young lad here whos losing hair. Decided to get on minoxidil and guess what, it made it a lot worse.
Now i do understand that there is a shedding process and it grows after that,
but what i have noticed is that my hairline and temple has thinned and receded a lot more (main concern).
My under eyes dark circle also gotten really bad (another concern). My crown has thinned a lot.
And from what i heard, minoxidil resets the cycle for hair growth and sets all the hair to grow at the same rate, kinda giving an illusion for thicker hair.
Anyway, i heard stories that sometimes minoxidil just worsen the hair and keep on worsening it with little growth. I also of course heard majority of success story.
But I am 18 and just scared. The main reason i m getting off minoxidil is what it done to my hairline and temple. It thin and receded it considerably. I feel like i just worsen my balding process (lol the irony).
I did something stupid, i should have not used it on my hairline straight away and just only used it on my crown to see how well i response to minoxidil. Not using finasteride so there isn't that backbone support of stopping dht on attacking my thinning hair.
Well my question is, that the hair i lost to minoxidil, the shedding process, would i grow it back if i stop using it.
I used minoxidil for, 3 months. Mostly its once a day, and sometimes even miss a day. (college days, exams, busy). Quite rarely i decide to do twice a day. I also bought liquid minoxidil month ago (bought foam minoxidil 3 months ago) and kinda use it sometimes in place of foam minoxidil. So as u can guess, i am kinda inconsistent with the routine.
You think this may be the reason i responded like this to minoxidil. I also have long hair, so its hard to apply minoxidil on scalp (one of the reason i bought liquid foam, to see if application is easier). And i can see the thinning on my long hair, imagine how will it look if i decided to get a hair cut. Horrific.
My minoxidil is nearly finishing, so when it finishes, i will stop using it. I would give finasteride a try in the future (Months later).
Anyway wanted ur take on my situation. Really appreciate u taking the effort, this is important to me. Thank you very much.
