Hello everybody,
I recently (about a month or 2 ago) started noticing a lot of hair falling out! And I was wondering if this has anything to do with the minoxidil I used in order to grow a beard...
So I'm currently 21 yo, and I always had a shitload of curly hair(got the nickname sheep), and about 7 months ago I started using minoxidil on the beard area, it worked and after 4 months i quit using it. I also had decided to grow my hair long for this first time ever(to get that Jon Snow look), and now that my hair is long I notice that a lot of hairs fall out everyday... up to the point that I get really depressed and don't want to shower... I no bald spots or anything, but I did notice that I can see a bit of scalp at the front of my hair(even more so when under direct light).
A little about me so you can help me with my question: 21yo, eat very healthy, hit he gym 3-4 times per week, sleep very irregular(and lately because of me thinking I'm going bald it takes me hours to fall asleep), a history in depression, nobody in the family was/is bald except for my grandfather on my mom's side(he started balding in the mid scalp area around the age of 50).
I will also include some pictures of how my hair looks now, I'm really scared that the minoxidil I used on my beard area had some effect on the scalp area... But I obviously hope that it is due to me growing out my hair for the first time and notice stuff that is not there when I have my hair short.
Looking forward to your replies!
