Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains minoxidil for hair regrowth. Expect shedding for 2-6 weeks, then new hair in 3-6 months. Use it twice daily consistently, and know that hair loss returns if you stop.
About 2–6 weeks.
Within 3–6 months (initially as baby hairs).
Twice a day.
If you are losing hair and trying to regrow it desperately, here are the top five things you need to know about starting Minoxidil before you start from a board certified dermatologist. Number one. You're going to experience an initial shedding period that usually lasts anywhere from two to six weeks because all of the older hairs are going to fall off. But fret not. Number two, New hair will grow within three to six months and you will notice it initially as baby hairs, eventually appearing thicker and fuller over time. 3. Consistency twice a day use is key if you want to see results. 4. It's a temporary treatment solution and not a cure, so once you stop it, your hair will fall off last. Minoxidil does not affect your hormones so both men and women can benefit.
