I've been using minoxidil 5% solution for about three weeks now, and I've noticed I'm losing more hair than before I started. Is this normal? When should I expect to see results? Also, I have quite a bit of white haircan I use hair dye, and if so, what's the safest option? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate some guidance.
