What is the effectiveness on the anti balding drug minoxidil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start early: Best to start using before you lose hair. More effective in helping you slow down hair loss than in actually growing hair once it's gone. And you have to use it forever if you want to keep the benefits.
