will minoxidil alone help maintain and thicken?

Will it? I'm not hoping for major regrowth, but some thickening would be nice. My crown is fine

does it regrow on midscalp? will it maintain? what about militarised hairs?

In my opinion it will, but only if you respond to the drug. People here love to say it loses effective as over time... But I don't know. I know doctors who think it does and other doctors say it doesn't. It has thickened mine up for sure in just 3 months

It does lose it's effectiveness over time if you're not on a DHT inhibitor.

A lot of people including myself don't respond to min.

It's not uncommon to notice nothing


Finasteride on other hand is essential for maintaining hair.

I think compliance plays a huge role in what you just said. People complain about minoxidil but don't use it two times a day, every day.

Not really... But I'm only 3 months in. The temples are the most damaged usually so it may take a longer time to correct
