I stopped using minoxidil about 3 months ago, and I'm still experiencing hair fall. How long will this continue after stopping the treatment? When will my hair start to get back to normal? I had been using minoxidil for about 6 months-first 2% for 3 months, then switched to 5% for another 3 months. While using the 5%, I started experiencing itching on my scalp, increased heart rate, and swelling around my eyes, so I had to stop. Before using minoxidil, my hair was thick, and it stayed thick while on the treatment, but now after stopping, it's become really thin and the hair fall has gotten worse. I've started taking BTN Ultra Biotin tablets now, but will my hair go back to how it was before? What can I do to get it back to normal?

When you stop using minoxidil, hair shedding is common because the hair growth stimulated by minoxidil enters a resting phase. This shedding period can last a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors. However, for many, hair fall should stabilize within 3-6 months after stopping minoxidil, and the hair should return to its previous state (before minoxidil) over time. To support your hair during this period: - Maintain a Healthy Diet: Nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, E, and minerals like zinc and iron are important. BTN Ultra biotin can support hair health, but ensure a balanced intake. - Reduce Stress: Stress management can help reduce hair loss and improve recovery. - Use Mild Hair Products: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle shampoos to support your scalp. If the hair fall continues or worsens, a follow-up with your dermatologist may be beneficial for personalized advice and to rule out other underlying causes.
