Minoxidil shedding has not stopped after 2 months of discontinuation - can expect a full return to my baseline hair state?

Wolf_mirage
Started minox 5% on beard twice a day for about 5 days. Noticed hair shedding in shower and immediately stopped use. It’s been about 2 months since I have stopped; I only notice hair shed in the shower. 22 year old male, with no history of mpb. Wondering if I can expect a full return to my baseline hair state. Or did I just ruin my hair forever.
