Thank you very much for this informative video!

I have a question: I unfortunately have telogen effluvium and I am considering using Minoxidil to promote hair growth. I'm aware that my hair growth will probably return to its normal state in many months if I don't help the process along. But to speed up the growth I am considering using Minoxidil. Will I be able to use Minoxidil for the months it requires for the hair to grow back and then stop using Minoxidil?

In this video you emphasized: "That one should not stop using Minoxidil, because it's a life long endeavour." But what will happen if I stop using the product in a year's time after seeing good results? Will I keep the hairs that have grown due to Minoxidil or will I lose the new hairs rapidly?

I assume all the hairs that are induced via Minoxidil remains even if you stop using the product or am I wrong? (Of course within the hair's natural anagen period)

Thanks in advance🙂

I find, even using just on my scalp, it makes me grow more hair on my lower face--chin, upper lip and lower sides of my face. This is super annoying since I am a women. Now I have to get electrolysis for that hair. I'd love to take the pill instead of using it topically, but I'm afraid that would affect me even worse. It's frustrating because I know a few people who take the pill and they said it's so easy and more effective. I wish there were a better solution for me. The electrolysis is very expensive. I'm in over a thousand so far and still have thick hair growth down there. Is it true that with a hair transplant, one must still use Rogaine for the rest of their life?

I don' t gave large areas without hair, like men have. My hare is very thin and uniformly rare after the menopause. I have very few hair left for my fringe . Is minoxidil good ? How do i apply it without getting into my hair every day ? If it gets on the hair, when it dries, my hair becomes sticky , dry, starchy, my combe hardly can do its job....After how many hours can i wash my hair after the treatment ?

[deniseshurts]

I have thinning over my entire scalp.
So, with that being said, how would I apply monoxidyl?

[LuciaMonarca]

Is the dosage for minoxidil different during the maintenance phase? Or does it still have to be used at least once a day forever? Also can women (not pregnant and not breastfeeding )take the oral pill or is it intended just for men?

[rburlaro]

Please make a video on how can women apply minoxidil foam.
