Hair Loss Medication: Unfortunately, minoxidil has to be used indefinitely for it to continue working. Restarting it may have a similar result. Young patients may experience hair loss due to genetic factors, but hormone imbalance plays a role in hair loss. See your doctor and ask about measuring estrogen, testosterone, DHT and DHEA levels. Thyroid conditions also affect hair growth or loss.
