Summary
After COVID, Tundra 74961's hair thinned and fell out (telogen effluvium). The first episode settled over about a year, then a recurrence caused shedding of over half their hair for roughly eight weeks, worse than the first time. They said starting minoxidil too soon made their hair fall out again, and that density was recovering faster than after the first loss.

And don’t use rogaine at all without waiting a long time. It’ll make your hair fall out all over again ... I made that fucking mistake.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
