I started using 5% Minoxidil around august last year. I remembered that I didn't really have a shedding phase but my hair grew and there was a period where my hair was so strong that I wasn't scared of massaging my hair anymore and seeing my hands covered in hair, because the roots became strong, when I pull my hand back, not even a single strand, when I scratch my hair, no strands fall out, when i wash my hair, no clumps. I never felt better, it was as if my hair was tied to my vitality and my confidence reflected it. I've been using it once a day daily since, but about 1-2 months ago, my hair started falling out again. My hair is back to what it was before, despite me upping it to twice per day. Clumps are falling out and scratching or smacking my hair to remove some dandruff makes me lose alarming amounts of hair, easily 100+ strands, a massive amount, and I knew if I kept going, it would keep dropping unendingly just like dandruff.. I hoped it was me in a shedding phase but its starting to get suspiciously long and my scalp is visible again, and its scary. I'm going to keep going but I don't know if minoxidil just stopped working or this is a longer hair shedding phase. I'm very scared. I was top of the world for a few months and now I'm back to being insecure and sad. This is a fight most men have to deal with, we're all in it together.
Really?...does minoxidil really work?... I've heard the hairs grown are lost as soon as we stop applying minoxidil... kindly clear my confusion if you see this comment...thanks
I was 80℅ bald 2 months ago, I applied minoxidil 12.5℅ 2 times daily and took minoxidil 10 mg and finasteride 5 mg tablet once daily for 2 months, I also took multivitamin, biotin, collagen, vitamin e, vitamin C, fish oil tablets and at least 100 grams of protein daily, I successfully grown back my full hair, now I am taking low dosage of minoxidil and finasteride so I dont lose hair again.
I've been using minoxidil for 2 months, and then 15 days later, the shedding phase started. But after 5 weeks, my hair loss stopped, and shockingly, the dandruff I had been treating for 10 years also got cured! Today, 95% of my hair loss has stopped."
I am 19 and facing hairloss sicnce 3 years although my father is not bald And major portion front has lost which created my appearance like 40 year guy

Minoxidil helps grow hair, but is the hair that grows thicker? Because I’ve seen people who have had hair transplants and use minoxidil. They have a lot of hair, but it’s very fine.
About 7 drops of organic cold pressed castor oil on the scalp rubbed in every night moisturizes the scalp and keeps it from drying out💪. I get some pulsating, tingly sensations on the top of my head but that could be a combination of the minoxidil and my spartan root activator shampoo(uses menthol with other oils). Did have a very small headache on the first day applying it but a week later, no headaches so far. Giving it one full year to see if derma rolling and monoxidil works good. Figured derma rolling every 5 days with a 1.5mm stainless steel 192 needle roller will be a good start!
There is something called tolerance continues use can lead to ineffectives of minoxidil so use it in like 2 to 2 days ( it is for stage 3 ) . If its more than 4 stage use it like he say . Fya use dermastap instade of dermaroll
Hi sir thanks for the video. I have one doubt. I'm using 5% minoxidil, more people are saying if you stop using minoxidil, all the hairs fall rapidly. Is this true. How can I stop the minoxidil any procedure??

I've been using the solution for a month and a half now and seeing results already. I started because I noticed some slight thinning in my hairline, not a big deal and I have recently turned 50 so it's probably due to getting older, but anyway I was curious to see if minoxidil would effect it. So it works, there's no doubt about it. Thanks for the tip on tilting the head back. Why didn't I think of that. lol
Thank your kind information sir❤❤❤nice explanation...I am 37years old I am diabetic patient but I am correctly manage my sugar level for past 4years ..I feel normal..I m used this minoxidil sir..plzz tell me sir
Every thing is fine doctor buty consern is that would the effect of minoxidil over after 2-3 years i mean see I am 18 yrs old now and having norwood 1/2 so ive started using derma roller along with Minoxidil+onion juice + vit E capsule+ onion,garlic mixed woth coconut oil..... I trust it will regrow my hairs but on youtube most of the people who have regrown hairs from minoxidil are sayinng that after 2-3 years the minoxidil will not work because our body will used to it so is that true?? Would it be as effect as it was before and our hairs will stay ??
The sequence of effect of Minoxidil is as follows- 1. Increased Shedding after starting minoxidil for 4-8 weeks 2. Results start appearing after 3-6 months 3. Best results at 1-2 years 4. Results plateau at around 2 years 5. After 2 years results can decrease slightly if your Male Pattern Baldness is very aggressively progressing.

as a woman, I have use the topical one for about 4 months now and is amazing to see all the new hairs, dont stop during the shading which is scary, I only use it once a day and some times forget it on the weekends
mujhe bhi male pattern hogaya hai but vaha abhi bhi very small hair follicles dikhte hai, aur mai 18 saal ka hu aur mereko koi experience nhi hai minoxidil ka , aur konsa best hai, is male pattern ke karan mera confidence bahut lo hogaya hai,

When I started using minoxidil i also face same problem of itching and rashes but now this will not happen and also the hair fall will slightly decreasing day by day.... I have also problem of dandruff 😞
Good day, sir. I would like to inquire about the possibility of utilizing more than 1 ml of the solution in cases where the bald area is more extensive. Is this a viable option, or are there any limitations or potential risks associated with exceeding the recommended dosage? Your expert advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
My doctor suggested minoxidil 5% for 6 months and it's good . Next time he gave minoxidil 5% and 1% finestride tropical solution now I am in 3rd month and hair is shedding heavily
At 32, I am falling hair. My doctor prescribed me minoxidyl, pilligrow, priorin and an unlabeled oil. It improved my condition. But then I got an accident. My focus was on the medicine for accident. Now my condition worsoned. Should I start it over again or should I increase dose? Please guide.
Thanks for the video, most helpful and informative video out there! I’m going to start using it on my beard, I do have growth but have some patches. Do you recommend using it in combination with a dermaroller?
Dermaroller on beard should be used under supervision of doctor. If you use Minoxidil for beard, then it should be used for atleast 6 months. Also please consult a local Hair loss speacialist doctor once too, preferable ISHRS member or ABHRS member. Best wishes, - Dr Satya Saraswat
my hub has male pattern baldness, otherwise totally healthy. Would this help him? I have considered buying it online(amazon) but have been nervous to do so.
There are brands of minoxidil which are available just with minoxidil and base. No glycol ir any other penetrative substance is there. They rather nourish the follicles and give a wet and textured look.
This was a good and detailed explanation, but I want to know how many hours separate the two times. For example, if I use it at eight in the morning, when should I wash it and use it for the second time? Can someone please help me?
Sir i have started experiencing sudden hair loss with huge volume from a couple of months ago. It is continuously persisting. I have two questions: 1. Should i use minoxidil? 2. I consumed whey protein for one week before experiencing hair loss and i stopped taking whey protein, should i continue whey protein?
After using minoxidil I can see a lot of new hair comming out, but those hair are baby hair not so thick. How long it would take for them to match the thickness of remaining hair
Hi, It's a commonly asked question by our patients. We generally explain it by giving an example of dependency of body on food. If we are eating healthy food, our body stays healthy, if we stop, then health of body deteriorates. Similarly Minoxidil increases the blood circulation and increases nutrient delivery and oxygen to roots. If your stop it then because of decreased blood supply the hairs will become unhealthy again.

Hi sir, I have been using minoxidil for the last 45 days and I can see a few baby hair growth but it can be seen when we look closely, do they increase or just be like that. And one more doubt is that can we do smoking while using minoxidil and finax as my doctor says 2-3 per day is ok but few people say we shouldn't while using minoxidil. Pls reply
Hii sir Iam using minoxidil mx-2 along with abott follihair tablet since a month as my dermatologist suggested it for hairfall, after using it. my hairfall is increasing than before, can i stop it or i need to continue. Pls suggest me sir.
Hi The sequence of effect of Minoxidil is as follows- 1. Increased Shedding after starting minoxidil for 4-8 weeks 2. Results start appearing after 3-6 months 3. Best results at 1-2 years 4. Results plateau at around 2 years 5. After 2 years results can decrease slightly if your Male Pattern Baldness is very aggressively progressing. So it's quite normal to have increased shedding initially for couple of months. Also Minoxidil is not effective in every case of female Hair loss. There are separate reasons for female hair loss on which Dr Preeti Saraswat has made a few videos on our channel, please go through them.

So I used fin/minoxidil all 2021 and regrew my hair and was so happy with my results. I stopped using it for a month. I moved from the eastcoast to the westcoast later that year and began to take it again and i started breaking out in hives when using it. I have tried it multiple times but begin to itch and break out in hives. It blows because i had no sides and amazing results for most of 2021. Does anyone know why i suddenly adopted the hives when I used it 9-10 months prior with no sides and excellent results? Could it be the change in climate? Help please.
Sir I am using minoxidil from 2 years, I saw hair growth and lost it the tired dutestride 0.5 mg tablet daily and increased minoxidil to 10 % once a day. But there still a lot of hair going down, I am about to get bald. Could you please recommend something to stop this and regrow my hair.

avoid completely 1. drinking caffeine on an empty stomach, release of cortisol into the bloodstream. 2. consuming too much caffeine, diuretics, chronic dehydration (especially for people sensitive to this substance). Drinking plenty of water helps, but the loss of fluids due to stimulants is much greater than the speed of replacement, regardless of your water consumption. I recommend drinking an espresso twice a week after your main meal. This helped me a lot. I hope this helps someone.
Hi . I am having facial hair loss ( beard area ) due to laser treatment done for hyperpigmentation due to hair dye effect . The skin in certain patches have become smooth with minimal hair growth . Can minoxidil be used for hair growth ?

Can hair fell 2 to 3 years ago be regrown by using minoxidil in males? How much are the chances to regrow such old hairs?
Minoxidil helps grow hair, but is the hair that grows thicker? Because I’ve seen people who have had hair transplants and use minoxidil. They have a lot of hair, but it’s very fine.
Please tell me where to put minoxidil? Only on thinning hair or on whole scalp ???
Pills helped me stop hair loss wothin a week i dont know if that droplet.will help.
What were the pills?
Which pills did you took please
About 7 drops of organic cold pressed castor oil on the scalp rubbed in every night moisturizes the scalp and keeps it from drying out💪. I get some pulsating, tingly sensations on the top of my head but that could be a combination of the minoxidil and my spartan root activator shampoo(uses menthol with other oils). Did have a very small headache on the first day applying it but a week later, no headaches so far. Giving it one full year to see if derma rolling and monoxidil works good. Figured derma rolling every 5 days with a 1.5mm stainless steel 192 needle roller will be a good start!
Sir , do rosemary oil provide same result as of 2% minoxidil ? If yes then , how should it be applied ?
I started using Minoxidil last month, today I see super thin hairs growing on applied area.
Nicely Explained...Helpful Video Thank you

Hello Dr. Can someone who has done scalp micro pigmentation, use minoxidil? Will it work?
Hi sir, I have been using minoxidil for the last 45 days and I can see a few baby hair growth but it can be seen when we look closely, do they increase or just be like that. And one more doubt is that can we do smoking while using minoxidil and finax as my doctor says 2-3 per day is ok but few people say we shouldn't while using minoxidil.
Pls reply
Amazing video.That's been very helpful tips that you provide. Excellent presentation. And the concept is very good. Thank you for sharing this video.
Hii sir Iam using minoxidil mx-2 along with abott follihair tablet since a month as my dermatologist suggested it for hairfall, after using it. my hairfall is increasing than before, can i stop it or i need to continue. Pls suggest me sir.
Hi
The sequence of effect of Minoxidil is as follows-
1. Increased Shedding after starting minoxidil for 4-8 weeks
2. Results start appearing after 3-6 months
3. Best results at 1-2 years
4. Results plateau at around 2 years
5. After 2 years results can decrease slightly if your Male Pattern Baldness is very aggressively progressing.
So it's quite normal to have increased shedding initially for couple of months.
Also Minoxidil is not effective in every case of female Hair loss. There are separate reasons for female hair loss on which Dr Preeti Saraswat has made a few videos on our channel, please go through them.
Hope it helps,

Hello, what about the minoxidil residues in the scalp? I have noticed these in mine and noticed these are accumulating after some applications
Please switch to Foam formulation which has stearyl alchol as preservative/delivery agent, instead of Lotion form which has Propylene glycol (which generally causes, scales/dandruff etc). Please consult your prescribing doctor once too.
So that case we have two shampoo/wash our hair daily?

So I used fin/minoxidil all 2021 and regrew my hair and was so happy with my results. I stopped using it for a month. I moved from the eastcoast to the westcoast later that year and began to take it again and i started breaking out in hives when using it. I have tried it multiple times but begin to itch and break out in hives. It blows because i had no sides and amazing results for most of 2021. Does anyone know why i suddenly adopted the hives when I used it 9-10 months prior with no sides and excellent results? Could it be the change in climate? Help please.
Is it good to use monoxidil after 1 year of transplantation in centrifugal alpasia condtion where hair transplantation is not done
Sir I am using minoxidil from 2 years, I saw hair growth and lost it the tired dutestride 0.5 mg tablet daily and increased minoxidil to 10 % once a day. But there still a lot of hair going down, I am about to get bald. Could you please recommend something to stop this and regrow my hair.
Please consult a Hair loss specialist doctor once, preferably ISHRS member or ABHRS member.

I need to meet this doctor ..where is your clinic ...?
Does the hair get depended on minoxidil and
After stopping the use ,we face more hair loss?????
Hi, It's a commonly asked question by our patients. We generally explain it by giving an example of dependency of body on food. If we are eating healthy food, our body stays healthy, if we stop, then health of body deteriorates.
Similarly Minoxidil increases the blood circulation and increases nutrient delivery and oxygen to roots. If your stop it then because of decreased blood supply the hairs will become unhealthy again.
Hope it helps,

I have Alopecia Areata from past 4-5 years and really nothing has helped me with bald spots please if you have any recommendations kindly tell😔😔
avoid completely
1. drinking caffeine on an empty stomach, release of cortisol into the bloodstream.
2. consuming too much caffeine, diuretics, chronic dehydration (especially for people sensitive to this substance). Drinking plenty of water helps, but the loss of fluids due to stimulants is much greater than the speed of replacement, regardless of your water consumption.
I recommend drinking an espresso twice a week after your main meal.
This helped me a lot.
I hope this helps someone.
Same yaar
