Minoxidil can give hair fall initially since it shades the weaker hairs and helps to make hair stronger and promotes new hair growth. Also most of the preparations are alcohol based casing dryness and frizziness. There is way to start minoxidil for hair fall. Also it’s important to rule out the cause of hair fall and then start treatment accordingly. Only minoxidil application is not the solution for any type of hair fall.
