Minoxidil is usually beneficial in the treatment of female pattern hair loss and chronic telogen effluvium.
If you have either of the two it will definitely work for you.
Increased hair loss is usually noticed after starting minoxidil for few weeks followed by stoppage of hair fall and then regrowth of hair.
Its effects are usually seen after 3-4 months of treatment and for maximum benefits need to be continued for atleast 1 year in female pattern hair loss.
So I think you should continue using it for another 6-8 weeks to see its results.
Besides this also take some hair supplement like tablet follihair or tablet keraglo XXXXXXX once daily for 3-4 months.
This will also help you.
