I used minoxidil for about 1 week because of hairline receding. Then, I got hair loss, which might be just a "shedding" process. Thus, I stopped using Minoxidil since then. However, not only my hair is still shedding but I'm also getting eyebrows loss after stop using Minoxidil. Before this, I've never had any problem with my thick eyebrows. Is it possible that I got eyebrows hair loss from using Minoxidil? Should I start using Minoxidil again or use something else (like laser treatment)?
