Is minoxidil safe to use at 17

[Sanemaxx]

I’m 17 years old almost 18 and thinking about hopping on topical minoxidil for eyebrows and hair. (I don’t have hair loss yet but My hairline is cooked).
I want to use it on my entire scalp, because i have thin and not very dense hair in general.
And my question is it safe to use for me at my age and especially is it safe to use on the entire scalp?

abt 2-3 months

Yeah its fine, results vary depending on how well you respond and what other shit you do besides it. Generally 2-6 months to see something tho

I'm taking oral minoxidil right now, is it good for you? No. if you want to avoid risks take the topical if you want great results take the oral

I would take it but, im hopping on accutane in a week. So i don’t think its a great idea to mix both of those.

i have 2 questions:
what are the side effects u experienced (if any)
will taking both topical and oral do any better than taking just one?

 

[FascisstChad]

No unless you don’t want to grow up to be like the Italian Stallion.

Its completely safe. Use as much as you want. The only risk is redness and hitching, which stops once you hop off

 

[tymooz]

only once havent tried twice so not sure if its better

 

[Sanemaxx]

only once havent tried twice so not sure if its better

Do you have straight hair, if yes did you notice your hair get more wavy? Because thats something that i hope for as well.

Oh ok, but I also often read that once you hop off, your new hair will just fall out again, and all progress will be lost.

Do you use anything extra apart from minox, like retinol or other stuff?

Yes, like all treatments to this day, it KEEP your hairs alive. It doesnt cure anything

 

[Sanemaxx]

nope

Did you have hair loss or did you just want thicker and denser hair like me?
