Why Does My Hair Look Like Absolute sh*t When I Use minoxidil?

So I had started up minoxidil again like 6 months back because I wasn't happy with how my hair was looking. Only use it on my hairline/forelock area. Never get any regrowth or anything, but all my miniaturized hairs look like absolute sh*t on it. Like they can't lay flat at all. They look damaged as f*** when I use the minoxidil. And its not just when the stuff is in my hair, even after I shower it looks like sh*t.

Recently quit minoxidil like last week, and hairs are already starting to look less damaged and able to straighten out a bit. Don't plan on going on it ever again, but just curious if others have experienced this.

I do to an extent, but they are also in areas where I don't use minoxidil. I asked a hair restoration surgeon/doctor via email why they were all frizzy like but I haven't heard back yet. When I do, I'll let you know. For the moment I am just using Argan oil shampoo to see if they are just damaged for some reason.
