Based on the pattern and description, this appears to be female pattern hair loss (FPHL), likely Ludwig grade 2–3. Minoxidil 2% is a good start, but the 2-week gap and only 2 months of use may not be enough to evaluate efficacy. Absence of the shedding phase isn’t uncommon early on.
Next Steps
You may benefit from shifting to Minoxidil 5%, applied once daily, for stronger response—especially in advanced thinning. Visible results typically take 3–6 months. Ensure consistent application, and consider adding a DHT blocker (oral or topical) after dermatologic evaluation.
Health Tips
Hair regrowth is slow and demands patience. Avoid switching or stopping products too soon. For best outcomes, a personalized regimen, often combining multiple therapies, is key—consulting a dermatologist online can help tailor your treatment.
