Thinning on my crown

I need you to send a photo of a SINGLE hair strand, put up in a U form. See the photo of my hair strand. Notice how it’s color is much lighter the further you go towards the root.

If you take oral minoxidil you need to take it 2 to 3 times a day.... it has a very short half life when taking it orally. 2.5mg every 8 hours (so 3 total day) would be a good place to start.

Are you sure about that? Once a day was shown to be effective in the studies that were done on it, and it is also known that the duration of oral minoxidil's mode of action lasts much longer than that of its plasma elimination.

Both are from the top? It is normal to get some thin hairs (~5%). But if you get them way more often, then it is not a good sign.
