I'm a 20 year old male. I started noticing some mild recession and mild crown thinning when I was19.A dermatologist recommended me Minoxidil which I used for about 7 months which resulted in stoppage of hairloss. However I noticed that my hair texture had changed in the process. I had wavy hair that became curly and strawlike. The doctor recommended me to stop using it. It's been 6months since I've stopped but I still haven't seen my original texture return. Is there anything that could be done?
