You are probably going through a stage of genetically
predisposed accelerated
hair loss and minoxidil is only slowing it down.

Minoxidil does not cause everyone's hair to grow. On the
other hand, minoxidil
does not cause hair not to grow.

~50% with 5% minoxidil alone, ~70% with minoxidil plus a
drug to protect the
follicles from DHT. Even higher concentrations of minoxidil
give better results.
