Melatonin may cause hair loss or thinning in some users, but evidence is limited.
Minoxidil can cause side effects, and because it was designed as a blood-pressure drug, some of them involve the heart and circulation. Published studies of low-dose oral minoxidil describe mostly mild problems, but fluid around the heart, pericarditis and other serious events have been reported, and the long-term picture is still being studied. Do not start, stop or change minoxidil without a doctor, and if you develop chest pain, a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, fainting, swelling or rapid weight gain while using it, stop and seek medical care.

Neither topical nor oral white tea has any human clinical trial behind it for hair growth. Topical use has a more direct mechanistic rationale, but the only verifiable studies are a cell-culture EGCG experiment and a pharmacokinetic study with no hair outcomes.
