Should I use Minoxidil to speed up my hair regrowth after weight loss?

June 1, 2016
Asked By:michellefarrier in Amsterdam, NY

I am loosing my hair due to some weight loss. This has happened before and it started to grow back but about 3 months ago i lost a lot again and the shedding recommenced. I have gained the weight back pretty quickly but I am worried i will never get the head of hair I had as a teenager ( I am only 20, though ). I am thinking of using minoxidil to try and speed up regrowth. I would potentially stop once I see my hair getting back to normal (if it is possible). Is this a good idea? Michelle
