How To Arrest Hair Thinning And Subsequent Baldness?

Hello. I'm a 21 yr old female suffereing from hair thinning. I first noticed it 3 yrs ago and took mild treatment. But my maternal aunt suffered from baldness at the age of 32. My father is bald (not completely). My maternal grandfather and uncle (45) are bald. My part has widened and and front of scalp has thinned out a bit. Under bright lights and sunlight it looks horrible. I'm very worried as no dermatologist is ready to diagnose androgenetic baldness. I have started minoxidil 2% a month ago but use it once a day. I'm also on multi-vitamins. But I want to stop the progression effectively. Is there any way I can do more to stop the thinning?
