Question

I'm dealing with stage 1 baldness and have been on minoxidil and finasteride, plus some vitamin supplements, for about five months now. I've started noticing some improvement, but my hair is still curly and really thin, which makes finding a decent hairstyle tough. Every couple of hours after combing, it ends up looking a mess. I'm thinking about trying hair smoothening to help with styling, but I'm worried about any side effects it might have. Any advice on this?
