Is Minoxidil Useless/destructive Against Miniaturized Hair?

People say this all the time:

"IF YOU LOSE HAIR FROM minoxidil THEY WERE DESTINED TO DIE ANYWAY"

Does that mean, if around half my scalp is miniaturized, minoxidil will just destroy all those hairs forever? Because being Miniaturized is the definition of being destined to die.

I have used minoxidil since November..and I had really good response to it.

I did have a shed about week 3 and 4 i think and by week 5 and 6 was sprouting some new hairs.

I cant say for sure if minoxidil helped my short hairs shedding because I also upped my iron (i am anemic) and i used a spironolactone topical but generally speaking my short hairs prior to minoxidil were easily removed with a gentle tug and had white bulbs--now those short hairs are more well rooted..not all are growing but i did get a lot of regrowth generally speaking.

Hope that helps.

Yes it could mean that. Could cause your miniaturized hair to shed faster and all at once, and it may not be able to grow back. minoxidil works for some, is sh*t for others. Only way to find out if your a responder is to try it though.
