Hi all,

I am a pre-HRT transfem person. I am 31 years old and I somewhat got worried by my hair lately. I always had a high forehead and deep temples, but after finally deciding to start the process of getting HRT started noticing my hair getting weaker, especially in the center front part. I didn't notice it before because they contrasted with the side undercut, but now that I am letting everything grow it kinda see it more. So two weeks ago, I started Topical Minoxidil 5% twice a day on the temple and central front, and in the center line front to back (as the dermatologist said), however I still have most of my hair and I would say that it is still decent. I kinda got scared by the stories of shedding and that it is even worse if you stop later on. Minoxidil seems also to makes my hair worse, bot in looks and texture. So with my HRT hopefully 4-6 months away, my question is: should I stop applying Minoxidil now, before the hair gets accustomed to it? Thanks and have a great day!
