26 year old male. Initial hair growth using minoxidil, but no changes for several months

catman723
I’ve been using minoxidil for almost seven months now and a few weeks after I started, I noticed some small new hairs beginning to grow. I’ve been applying a 5% strength solution twice a day for about six months since then, and I’ve seen no further results. No new hairs have popped up, and the new hairs I initially noticed haven’t grown at all. Do I just have to keep waiting or is something not right?
