hi, welcome to HCM,
first hair fall has nothing to do with hair style or haircut.although it can look thinner due to its style.
minoxidil 5% is approved for androgenetic alopecia.
when you will start applying minoxidil, there will be profuse hair loss in the initial 4-6 week. it takes three month to stop hair fall.
i will advise you to continue minoxidil 1 ml twice daily.
take tab Biotin+PABA once daily.
wash your hair with volumizing shampoo.
thanks
