You need to know, once you start minoxidil, there is no way back,if you decide tu quit for some reason, get ready for massive shedd. Beside tha new regrown hair, you'll probably lose and a lot of existing hair too(about 40-50%).and it might take a couple of months to grow back.That was a bad side of minoxidil, the good thing is, it probably regrow and thicken up some hair, it depends from person to person, how good responder you are. It worked pretty good for me taking it only once a day. But once again, it's a tough decision, keep in mind the first part of my post.I've learned it on hard way. Good luck! :wink:
