I have sort of thin corners that are only visibly thin when i grow my hair out. ever since i buzzed my hair hasnt had the same volume it had to be honest, could i use minoxidil for my corners at this age or should i use an alternative?

Are you planning to use topical or oral minoxidil? Both work, but I would lean toward oral minoxidil though (however it is prescription only, so it might not even be an option for you). Minoxidil has almost zero complications, you may get heart palpitations, but they're non-life threatening if you experience them early and stop using minoxidil when it happens.

Castor oil is probably your second best option here, but frankly, minoxidil mogs so hard.
