Minoxidil (often called Minoxi) is a topical treatment that works by widening blood vessels in the treated area, stimulating hair follicles and encouraging new growth. This results in fuller, stronger hair — even for those who haven’t undergone hair transplants.

Originally developed as a blood pressure medication, Minoxidil’s hair-regrowth effects were discovered by accident. Many users noticed hair growth as a side effect — leading to its evolution into one of the most trusted solutions for genetic hair loss today. It’s available without a prescription and proven to help slow down hair thinning and strengthen existing roots.

Minoxidil (Minoxi) is generally well tolerated, and most side effects are mild and non-dangerous — but it's still important to be aware of them.

In rare cases, some users may experience scalp irritation, redness, itching, or flaking. These reactions are often caused by propylene glycol (PG), a common ingredient used in many liquid formulas to help apply the product evenly.

Switching to a foam-based Minoxidil formula often helps reduce or eliminate these side effects altogether.

Less commonly reported side effects may include headaches, dizziness, or nausea — but these are rare. Minoxidil is not recommended during pregnancy, and use should be stopped immediately if applied during that time.

The product is also not intended for individuals under 18, as its safety for younger users has not been well studied.

If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms, stop using the product and consult your physician to explore alternatives or adjustments.

Apply Minoxidil once in the morning and once in the evening for best results.

Most products follow the same basic instructions:

Drop or dispense the recommended amount onto your fingers or directly onto the thinning area. Then gently massage the product into the scalp using your fingertips to help spread it evenly and reach the roots beneath existing hair.

After application, wash your hands thoroughly and allow the product to dry fully — usually within just a few minutes.

It absorbs quickly, so it won't disrupt your daily routine. For example, applying before brushing your teeth gives it time to dry while you carry on.

Note: Women should apply Minoxidil just once a day, unless otherwise advised by a doctor.

Minoxidil isn’t a magic cure — but it can make a real difference.It won’t bring back the hair you had at 16, and it won’t work on every type of hair loss.

Minoxidil is designed to slow down genetic hair loss — not hair shedding caused by stress, seasonal changes, or anxiety.

If you’re unsure what type of hair loss you have, we strongly recommend consulting with a dermatologist or trichologist to determine if Minoxidil is the right choice for you.

It's also important to know: For most people results only last as long as you keep using the product.
Once you stop, hair loss usually resumes from where it left off — sometimes even faster.

That’s why Minoxidil is best suited for long-term, consistent use (12+ months).When used correctly and consistently, Minoxidil can help you take back control and maintain a fuller, healthier look — for good.ככ
