Apply minoxidil directly to a dry scalp once or twice a day as advised. Gently spray onto thinning areas and let it dry completely before styling or going to bed. Wash your hands afterwards to avoid accidentally transferring the product to other areas.

Most men need to use minoxidil for at least 3–6 months before seeing visible results. Full results can take up to a year. Minoxidil is a long-term treatment that requires consistent, daily application to maintain results.

Most men tolerate minoxidil well. When side effects occur, they're typically mild and manageable. Dryness, itching, or temporary shedding are most common, usually appearing in the first few weeks and settling as your scalp adjusts.
