I have weak, thinning hair with noticeable hair fall. Can topical minoxidil help improve hair growth and reduce shedding?

Asked by Male, 37 ยท 11 days ago

Topical minoxidil can help improve hair growth and reduce hair fall, particularly in cases of pattern hair loss where the follicles are still active. It works best when used consistently for several months, with results usually seen after 3 to 6 months. Some people may experience increased shedding at the start, but this is temporary and usually settles with continued use. It may be less effective if hair fall is due to nutritional deficiencies or underlying medical conditions.
