Right, since I've been about 14 I've had a small patch on my crown, other than that i've had full thick hair, my dad and brother are bald so i've accepted one day it'll inevitably happen, I was hoping by the time i'm a fair bit older (30 like my dad) I won't be as fussed, I just wanted to keep it throughout my 20's, right now i'm 19, and my mum talked me into taking minoxidil just so I could preserve it for longer, worst mistake ever, this utter garbage has made my hair full out NONE stop, tons of it in the shower, falling out randomly, people commenting on how thin my hair is, the front of my hair won't even hold up now, it's wispy and weak, and seeing it shed like it has, is 100% shattering the feeling is simply terrible, i'm aware it needs to 'shed to regrow' however it made my skin puffy and the bags under my eyes look like tyson gave me a right and left hook, so I stopped, and it has not slowed down my hair looks terrible now, my scalp is itchy and flaky, and my brother said that that's what happened around the time he lost it all in months, I find it too much of a coincidence to believe that ALL of this started as I started using minoxidil, i've never had a dandruff flake in my life, and i'm starting to think it may be the end of the line and it's killing me, not a minute goes by where I don't think about it, my ONLY hope is that the minoxidil shifted my hair into a shedding phase and it'll grow back...
It looks pretty thick around the crown still but believe me it's not it's lost about 50% thickness it's lighter I can't style it at the front like I use to, I truly believe minoxidil has screwed me over
