My hair is still thick. I am just afraid it will go thin like with my aunts or bald like my Dad. Baldness is definitely in the genes in my family. I am especially concerned because I want to grow my hair very long.
I don't really have a doctor who sees me enough to know what my hair looks like, except my pdoc. She sees me a lot. I don't think my hair has gotten much thinner and at this point I don't think anyone can tell.
I feel like I should minoxidil as a preventative treatment, since once the hairs are lost, often they don't grow back.
I found a pretty cheap source of minoxidil, just $60 including shipping for a year's worth. Minoxidil doesn't have many side effects and when used topically doesn't really affect my body.
Maybe I will ask someone if minoxidil would be harmful at this point.
