No

I've just started applying minoxidil since 2 days

Your hairloss doesnt look too bad. It seems to be thinning some on top. I guess minoxidil could help thicken it up some, but it wont stop your hairloss. That is what finasteride is for. What are your hairloss goals and how old are you?

I'm 19yrs old, and it is fine at the back it is because of the light reflection, but bro finasteride has serious side effects on sexual behaviour.... I'm taking homeopathic medicine for male pattern baldness, they have assured me that my baldness will be prolonged to atleast 10-15 yrs....but I've to worry about my hairline.........i don't need to worry about mt upper head .........my DAD IS NW3 at the age of 55 and was nw2 in his late 20s

But will minoxidil help me in maintaining my hairline??

Sounds like you need to spend a couple hours doing some research about treatment options on this forum. Do you understand what finasteride does? Do you understand what minoxidil does? No one can really tell you what will happen to your hairline in the next 10 years with 100% confidence. Maybe minoxidil will help, maybe it wont do sh*t, no one knows until you try it for a while, and then it could be too late. The best defense for the hairline will be a DHT inhibitor like finasteride. But it is your body and your life and you have to decide with the information out there what the best treatment is for you.

I doubt that the homepathic meds will really do much. What are they having you take?

Ok i would continue minoxidil for a month, but if it doesn't work and if I would stop using it because of it's uselessness in my case.....then will i recede faster??

I dont think you understand how hairloss works. You dont use minoxidil for a month. You use it forever if you want results.
