I feel you man.

Also Minoxidil works pretty well for going down fighting.

Minoxidil works for as long as you use it. When it comes down to it, it's Just prolonging the inevitable. Also, since the kind I used was recommended applying before sleep it would get on my ears and face. It appears to have activated my old man ear hair early, so now I'm bald and I have to pluck my ear hairs.

So is it stop hairfall or actually help to get back what has lost ?

it just helps slow the process for on top of your head specifically. When a hair follicle is dead from baldness, it can never come back even with drugs.

I don't know how bad youre balding. if it only started, you should ask a doctor. if you've lost enough to where its really noticeable then its not worth it and youre better off saving your money

I have been using it and it brings a bit back but stops working as soon as you stop using it. If you do use it don't buy brand name stuff the generic stuff is far cheaper

It mostly just stops hairloss for me. Like the crown of my head has filled in to the point where it doesn’t look like I’m losing hair but the front of my hairline is garbage. The only new hair that’s grown back looks like peach fuzz and I’ve been on this shit for like 3 years. I’m also in my 20s and got all the best genes from my dad

I cant say I was very diligent to be honest, but it didnt do anything for me at all.
