So, I started 5% minoxidil and 2% keto a little over 3 months ago. I'm a NW3 diffuse (significantly) thinner. Very deep and visible temples, and very much thinner and lighter hair on top than on the sides. I sport a buzzcut by the way.
After about 2 months of treatment my hair had gotten noticeably darker, healther and thicker, plus I had some sides with regards to body hair. Hairier arms, nosehair, stronger facial hair, etc. Then after about 2 months and 2-3 weeks and until now I've seemed to lose ground. I don't know if I've shed very much, and my hair still seems a tiny bit thicker on top than it was at baseline, but the color has faded a LOT, and my hair isn't as healthy and thick as it was a few weeks ago.
Has anymore experienced a "shed" like this, and will it grow back thicker and darker again? Or has minoxidil simply lost its effect on me, after just 3 months? Is that even possible? Just seems weird to me.
Never had a shed to begin with by the way. My hair just got gradually thicker and darker for the first ~2months.
