how long does it take for rogaine to work

Rogaine (minoxidil) typically starts to work within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use, but visible hair regrowth usually takes around 3 to 6 months to appear. The earliest signs include increased hair shedding initially (2-4 weeks) as old hairs make way for new growth, followed by fine, soft hair growth at about 2 to 3 months. Noticeable thickening and pigmentation of the new hair generally become evident between 3 to 6 months, with optimal results seen after continuous use for 6 months or longer. Some users may see continued improvement up to a year or more. Patience and consistent twice-daily application are key for the best results.
