A little bit about myself, I'm currently 20 years old and have been experiencing mild hairloss since I was 16. I noticed one morning when I woke up that I could see a little patch of my scalp on my left temple, at the time I had no idea it was hair loss.

4 years later and I have been almost obsest with my hairline and how it was thinning, thinking how surely a teen can not be loosing hair. I decided to act, about 6 months ago I decided to start minoxidil - the photo attached where you can see clear thinning in the vertex and left temple shows where I was around 5 months into minoxidil. I honestly think I was worse off taking minoxidil now compared to where I was starting it, I was only receding slightly on the left temple.

I have stopped minoxidil now for around 6 weeks, started using pura D'or shampoo once a day and taking hair multi vitamins (4 per day). Take a look at the newest photo, I'm starting to see loads of hairs sprouting around my hairline, which I believe is my journey back to NW1. They are getting thicker everyday and my hair generally feels revitalised. Please note that I have always genetically had very fine hair and the newest photo is with wet hair.

You are most likely seeing delayed results from the minoxidil. I would strongly encourage you to restart it, because if you don't I suspect you'll have a nice big shed in the near future.

Continue the shampoo and multivitamins if you want, they won't hurt. You're at a point now where you should also add finasteride.
