OK LET ME SHARE MY 2 CENTS

Minoxidil WORKS, ive been applying this topical solution for about 6months now, probably more.

starting phase - you will lose more hair (indication that it will work)
mid phase - you start to see tiny hair growing from bald spots
onwards - full results happen in a year. i ve got almost full growth, only spot where it needs more time is the frontal side (M - shape) but it is not that visible anymore.

4/5 people who uses this will get results. u have to be pretty unlucky if it doesn't work on you - USE KIRKLAND MINOX - WORKS JUST AS FINE AS OTHER BRANDS + CHEAPER

Is it consider hair loss when my hair drops very often?

The places i sit will have lotsa hair around the floor and my hair drops pretty easily... But my hair is VERY VERY thick... So i guess that compensates?

My college also suffer this. he directly fly to india instead in Malaysia. technology can found there.
