A hair story

My experience with hair thinning and oral minoxidil

About 5 or 6 years ago, I realized that my hair had been gradually thinning. The top of my crown was becoming sparse and my scalp was even becoming visible from some angles. I was embarrassed and started to avoid wearing my hair down. Panicked, I took supplements, I went off birth control, I went back on birth control, and I waited for a change. If anything, it only got worse. Last summer I was losing significant chunks of hair during my every-other-day wash and started researching possible causes and solutions.
