It will take minimum 3-4 months to see the response.
If the cause of your hair loss is hormonal then hair will be maintained as long as you apply minoxidil and hair loss may reoccur after stopping it.
But if it's not hormonal and underlying cause is treated hair loss won't occur after stopping minoxidil.
