It is completely normal not to see results at two and a half months. Hair regrowth treatments like topical minoxidil and finasteride, along with Follihair, typically take four to six months of consistent use to show visible improvement. I highly recommend continuing your treatment. Common side effects include mild scalp dryness, itching, or irritation. To manage the dryness and frizz, you can safely use a light hair oil. Just apply it a few hours after your topical medication to ensure proper absorption. Please consult your dermatologist for a personalized progress check.
