I went to my doctor she said that I have AGA, she prescribed minoxidil and told me that my hair can fall out in the beginning. I didn't start using it yet. I was thinking to buy some Hair supplements (vitamins) to increase the process of hair grow and to take them at the same time when I apply minoxidil. Should I do this? And I usually wash my hair with a hypersensitive shampoo every day, should I wash my hair less often since my scalp burns often? Thank you Doctors.
