Will I lose much hair in 4-5 months?

[Parker]

I have a thinning hairline and a terrible shapped head for it (I look good with hair covering the sides of my forehead but shocking with it revealed).

I;m 24 and may have only been receding the past year or so so I don't know how fast it happens which leads onto my question at the end.



My plan of action is to go on Minoxidil to start with as it's the safest option.

My problem is that I have something very important in 4-5 months time that I have to look my best for.
If I take Minoxidil from now then I will shed and not look my best for that.

So my plan is to start taking Minoxidil after that event in 4-5 months time.


My question is:
Is it likely that I will lose a significant amount of hair in 4-5 months time that it would make much of a difference?
Or should I make it first priority to get on Minoxidil straight away?

Thanks so much for anyone who answers.
