How Long Should You Use Minoxidil Before Judging It?

Quick answer: Judge minoxidil over months, not days. Folli-Fix suggests thinking in 3, 6 and 9 months and following the label consistently. Take photos in the same light every month, and speak to a doctor if you are not sure whether it suits you. Minoxidil is not a cure and usually needs continued use.
Track it properly
Take photos of the same areas, in the same light, once a month. Daily checks in the mirror are misleading.
Stay consistent
Missed days and over-application both make it harder to judge. Folli-Fix’s how-to-use guide stresses consistency over quantity.
