Minoxidil 5% w/v Solution is one of the more reliable options for slowing hair fall and encouraging regrowth, and it's usually applied twice a day directly onto a dry scalp in the affected area. It can take three to four months before you see real change, and some people notice scalp irritation, dryness, or even a temporary increase in shedding when they first start that settles down for most. Because everyone's hair loss pattern is a little different, it really helps to have a doctor or dermatologist look at your scalp first to confirm minoxidil is the right fit.
