Hair thickness
I am a 22 year old male, having not so thick hair in my head, it's diffused, crown is a little more less thicker compared to the sides and back. I have been using minoxidil 2% on morning and a hair serum in the night, daily, for more than 1.5 years. There isn't much visible change. Can I switch to 5% minoxidil now and if yes, when all is it to be applied? Should minoxidil gel or solution be used? Please help me with this dilemma
