Does Minoxidil make your hair worse?

Minoxidil will not make your hair loss worse. But it is true that the effects of topical treatments such as Minoxidil disappear if not used everyday. Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, which can revitalize hair structures miniaturized by DHT. When the treatment stops, so does the effects produced by the medication. However, every hair loss case is different. If you are concerned about your hair loss progression, consult a doctor for a diagnosis and possible treatment options.

If you have male pattern balding minoxidil will help you to keep the hair you have.  However, over time, you will still continue to lose hair.  Once you stop minoxidil, you will experience “catch-up hair loss” in which case you lose hair at an accelerated rate until you catch-up with whatever level of hair loss you were supposed to be at having never used minoxidil.

This drug when applied topidally can grow some hair but it will not reverse genetic hair loss even if it is caught early
