M33: Is My Cowlick Actually Diffuse Thinning Despite Minoxidil?

I’ve always had pretty fine hair (M33) but trying to figure out if this is just a big cowlick or closer to diffuse thinning? I’ve been taking minoxidil and finastride for about a year and saw some new hairline hairs from it. I also started microneedling this week to help with the min absorption. is my hair cooked as is? my biggest stress is properly applying min drops to my crown in the areas that feel thin as I have somewhat long hair currently and can’t quite see this part of my head without holding a second mirror up.

any advice is appreciated! thanks!

Sounds like you’re doing things right with min, fin, and microneedling. Make sure min oxidil gets onto your scalp. Keep an eye on the area over time; treatments can take up to a year to show results. Your hair isn’t cooked, just monitor and adjust as needed.
