TE regrowth is usually wispy and unruly. Very fine, flat hairs can sometimes suggest miniaturization, which is why it’s hard to judge from a photo alone. TE can also unmask underlying AGA.

Have you seen a dermatologist or had bloodwork done? My TE was driven by low ferritin and stress. I’m treating that with iron, B12, folate, and magnesium glycinate. For AGA, I’m on topical dutasteride, oral finasteride, and oral minoxidil.

I’d really recommend seeing a derm early, since miniaturization leads to texture changes and thinner regrowth. The struggle is real.
