To answer your question you have to understand the hair cycle... There are 3 stages in hair cycle.... Active phase... Transition phase and resting phase... The whole process takes 3 months.... In cases of hair loss most of the hair are in resting phase... Minoxidil causes stimulation of hair growth... So the old hair in resting stage falls down giving way for new growing hair to come out.. Hence increased hair shedding is seen in the beginning of minoxidil treatment... By the way for females recommended percentage is 2.and not 5....higher percentage may cause facial hair growth...
