Minoxidil 5 Vs 7.5: Hairline Issues

[razzmatazz91]

I have been using minoxidil 5% for two years and finasteride for 10 months. Seen no improvement since I started finasteride, but fingers crossed.
Here's what minoxidil did for me: Slight shed in the beginning, then i gre back only the hair that I lost and some peach fuzz. It stayed that way for two years. 40-50 days ago, I decided to start minoxidil 7.5% instead of my usual 5%. I did this because I have an oily scalp and thought it might work better

Result so far:
I think I see a shedding at my hairline on the temples. That's it.

I want to know if I should stick to it. If I have shed some hair with 7.5% min, does that mean I'll grow better hair? Or does it mean it will ruin my hairline?
Any bros with experience? Experts?


EDIT:
By the way chaps, could hairline shedding occour because of finasteride I've been on for ten months now?

Can't be sure if I've been using it 6 or 8 weeks at this point.
Guys please let me have some input. Am I imagining things? Or can it really destroy my hairline? Can I still recover if I stop and go back to 5% or is it too late?

EDIT: Okay, I looked at some pics. It seems not only my hairline, ut my whole head has thinner hair. Is that a good sign?
I jumped back on 5% last night.... and will stay there until I resolve this issue in my mind. Please reply guys

I think my question now is: Is it normal to shed when you increase minoxidil concentration just like when I started 5% two years ago?

Did you end up regrowing those lost hairs? Similar boat right now...
