A member asked:

I have been using minoxidil for over 4 months and the results are very good. no hair fall at all. today while i am applying it i saw many hair falls!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not fool proof : It is not fool proof and will not every one will have the same results otherwise everyone with hair loss would be using it.It's likely caused by your hair follicles shifting from a dormant phase to an active growing phase: as new hair growth begins, your old hairs are released and fall out.
