Okay so I have realized I am clearly diffuse thinning. In some situations my hair doesnt look bad, but it is much much thinner on top than on the sides. In bright light, I can see scalp, also when my hair gets wet/sweaty.
I started minoxidil, didn’t want to go on fin yet cause of side effects. Will I be okay on just minoxidil?
Min can help with regrowth, but it doesn’t address the hormonal cause like fin does. Since you’re avoiding fin, keep an eye on how the oral min works for you. If you notice more shedding, remember it might be a normal initial side effect. Keep monitoring your progress and consider adding other treatments if needed.
