In my opinion, there exist many Hair products that will coat your hair to make it thicker.  In addition,we have found that by  using PRP Therapy some patients get a thickening of the hair shaft. This has been supported in numerous studies. PRPHAIRMD.COM

Minoxidil sheds occur when minoxidil dependent hair has grown. This does not happen in 3 weeks, it take much longer so you should be able to stop the medication now without worry

You seem to have black hair and have combed your hair so that the scalp is showing, This is not balding and anyone with your hair color who combs their hair this way will see their scalp.
