Hair loss can be caused by various factors. In men, the most common cause is male pattern baldness, which is largely influenced by genetics and hormonal changes. In women, it can be due to hormonal shifts, aging, and sometimes genetics. Other factors like stress, diet, and certain medical conditions can also contribute to hair loss.

Minoxidil is a topical solution that works by dilating blood vessels around hair follicles. This increased blood flow to the scalp stimulates hair follicles, prolongs the hair growth cycle, and can result in thicker, fuller hair. It's believed to convert vellus hairs (peach fuzz) into terminal hairs (thicker, longer hairs).

While Minoxidil is generally safe, some users may experience mild side effects such as scalp irritation, itching, or dryness. These effects are typically temporary and can be reduced by following proper application guidelines. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional if you experience severe or persistent side effects.

Results with Minoxidil may vary, but most users start to notice visible changes after using it consistently for about 3 to 6 months. Full results often become more apparent after one year of continuous use. Patience and consistency are key to achieving the best outcome.
