Thanks for the input guys.
Well, I stopped minox because I was mostly set on doing the HT and prepared by stopping minox in advance, since that was the requirements. I also wasn't 100% sure minox was stabilizing my hair, or if any other factor was taking part (biotin, keto etc), and it's very uncomfortable having greasy minox hair. I even only used it once per day. I read about it bloating the face, causing wrinkles, dark eyes etc and while I don't notice anything in particular I would of course rather be without that medication. The middle part hair also don't have that same blonde color anymore, it's more darker and looks a bit less alive, but the same goes for the roots of the hair around my ears so it might not have anything to do with minox.
Reading on forums everyone seem to say fin (or at least stabilized hair loss) is absolutely necessary for a HT. I'm still a bit unsure how many people undergo HT (successfully?) using only minox instead of fin, since I don't think nearly all patients take that medication. And I rarely see any blonde HT results. Even though my hair looks super thin in the front in the picture above, it doesn't look that bad in reality with clean dry hair.
Well, I guess what I'm trying to convince myself right now is if minox can keep my hair stabile for more than "just" 5 years or less or if the general opinion says otherwise. I guess the feeling of not seeing 50+ hairs in the shower is worth the effort at the very least.
I'm also not overly worried about HT costs etc, I just don't want to regret not doing anything. But if it has a negative inpact on my hair for the future (scars, a few years of more hair at most etc) then I would of course not want to gamble. There seem to be so many people (outside the forums!) who seem oblivious to medication or their current condition but are happy with their results.
