Yes it should.. but then again, perhaps ur hairloss has a different cause than most other people.
Eating well? Enough vitamins/minerals? Too much sunlight? Exposed to irratants? stuff like that..
If you REALLY want to know if minoxidil truely is worthless, keep off it for a month. If you get the most unholy shed ever, then you know it was doing something.

minoxidil regrows more hair overall than propecia, but it works in a smaller group of men than propecia. Propecia at least maintains in 83% of men, and that is just in the back or on top, I forget which. Minoxidil 5% regrows hair in 66% of men, I think, but it regrows a lot more.

i dont really mean to argue with college, since his is much more knowledgable than I am, but I think that i similar double blind study was conducted which showed that finasteride did infact maintain in the front also. I think the pdf is available somewhere on this site.

Ive been taking 5% twice a day...and my shed has been going on ever since.
When should a guy use minoxidil....when hairloss is very noticeable/balding and visible to others....or when your thinning, but you do have hair on your head and not many people can notice your hairloss? (thats me when i grow my hair, no one can notice my hairloss)

re:
I stopped minoxidil because I believe it caused me to retain lots of fluid and caused irritation. What annoys me most about minoxidil is that there never appears to be clear medical evidence as to why it works. If we don't know why it works how to we evaluate potential sides and long term effects? Not too mention the applications were bothering both my scalp quality and appearance.
Anyways, I am evaluating my body after stoping the minoxidil and will be trying spironolactone cream soon.
