Minoxidil 3-Week Review (Plus 3-Month Progress!)

Real Talk: Samosas, Sacrifices, and Small Wins

Why I Started Minoxidil

Three months ago, I decided to do something about my thinning hair. I picked up a bottle of minoxidil after hearing tons of mixed reviews online. Some said it worked wonders, others said it did nothing—but I figured I'd never know unless I tried it myself.

Lifestyle Changes I Made

At the same time, I knew applying minoxidil alone wasn’t going to be enough. So, I made some personal changes:

• ❌ Stopped eating samosas (which I love, by the way)
  
  

• ❌ Cut out Pepsi – my go-to drink with snacks
  
  

• ✅ Started eating 2 boiled eggs every morning – for that protein boost
  
  

These changes weren’t easy, especially giving up samosas, but I wanted to give my hair the best chance to grow.

Week 1 to Week 3: The Shedding Phase

The first three weeks were... underwhelming. Actually, I noticed some extra hair fall, which freaked me out a little. But after doing some research, I found out this shedding is normal in the early stages—your weak hairs fall out to make room for stronger ones.

Month 3: Finally Seeing Results!

Fast forward to now (around 3 months in), and I can see real progress:

• 🟢 Thinner areas are starting to look fuller
  
  

• 🟢 New baby hairs are sprouting in bald spots
  
  

• 🟢 Overall, my hair looks healthier and stronger
  
  

It’s not a dramatic overnight change, but it’s definitely noticeable if you stick with the routine.

What I’ve Learned So Far

Here are my main takeaways from the journey so far:

• 💡 Minoxidil works—but it needs time and consistency
  
  

• 🍳 Diet matters more than we think—eggs for the win!
  
  

• 🧠 Be patient—results start showing around the 3-month mark
  
  

• 🧴 Use it twice daily and don’t skip days
  
  

Final Thoughts

If you're just starting out with minoxidil, don't expect magic in 3 weeks. But give it 3 months, clean up your diet a bit, and stick to the routine. Trust the process—you might be surprised at the results.
