Progress update after being on oral Minoxidil for almost 10 months! The before pics on the right in each collage aren’t all the same day, but just general pictures to show various stages of growth! I stopped taking Minoxidil after being on it for 5 months (stopped January 2025), and lost all the progress I previously made plus more. I feel like my initial dread shed was worse because of this, but I’ve not had any abnormal shedding for a long time now!!

The worst part is the hair that just sticks up no matter what I do, but I’ll take it any day compared to where I was!

Same routine from February’s progress pictures: 1.25mg oral minoxidil daily, 100mg spiro daily, and 2% Ketocinazole shampoo 2x week. I also use a rosemary apply cider scalp detox (Pacifica brand) 1-2 times a week, as well as the Briogeo scalp revival treatment 1-2 times a week because my scalp is very dry if not.
