A member asked:
One uses minoxidil for just a week and stops, will they have less hair than even before because of exposure to it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Minoxidil won't work until weeks and months later and you would only get back to the previous status after stopping it . No accelerating hair loss after stopping.
