good morning everyone

My hairloss is worsening by the day and really having a negative impact on my mood - please don’t think this is just vanity, it really isn’t.

Has anyone used minoxidil successfully?

I’ve read there can be nasty side effects, I’m trying to balance out the “ for’s and against’s”

Thanks for reading
