35 year old female - Can a person with "normal," healthy hair use Minoxidil to help thicken fine hairs? (photos)

Bonnie8552
My question is- can a person with supposedly “normal” healthy hair use Minoxidil to help thicken fine hairs? My temples are naturally thinner hairs. I have been using “Hers” minoxidil treatment twice a day over entire scalp for 2 months and have only experienced extreme shedding. It’s awful. And now you can see through my hair. Should I just stop? Should I only concentrate around my temples? I never can cover the entire scalp I just try to spread it as best I can.
