How is Minoxidil Different from the HFR Serum?
Minoxidil is used to stimulate hair growth and to slow balding. It works like the HFR Serum, but is much stronger. The HFR Serum contains 2% minoxidil amongst other hair growth ingredients, while this Minoxidil contains 10%.
Your choice of which to purchase should depend on how sensitive you are. The plain minoxidil is 10%, which is stronger, but a person may experience side effects such as headaches or puffiness.
How Does Minoxidil Grow Hair?
Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles by dilating blood vessels around them. It stimulates hair growth and enhances hair follicle size.
How to Tell if Minoxidil is Working?
Expect visible hair growth within the first few weeks to a month of use.
Does Minoxidil Give Permanent Results?
Minoxidil can effectively regrow hair, but its effects are not permanent unless continued. If you're looking for a long-term hair loss solution, it's best to combine minoxidil with other hair growth products — e.g. HFR MoistureLock, MPL oil, Coconut or Rosemary oil.
Who Can Use Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is suitable for both men and women experiencing various types of hair loss and individuals with Alopecia. It is safe for adults over the age of 18.
Please avoid using if you have any underlying health conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Minoxidil should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Hair Shedding with Minoxidil — Is It a Good Sign?
Yes! In many cases, minoxidil shedding is a positive sign that the medication is stimulating hair follicles and prompting new growth. It indicates the medication is affecting the hair growth cycle, which is exactly what it's designed to do. Shedding is a common and usually temporary side effect — new hair growth will soon follow.
What Color is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil solutions can sometimes change color from clear to pale yellow or even darker yellow over time. This is usually due to oxidation of the minoxidil in the presence of metals like iron. This color change doesn't necessarily mean the product is ineffective.
