- For Scalp Hair: Hair loss is progressive. If you stop applying Minoxidil, the blood flow to revitalized follicles will return to baseline, and you will gradually lose the hair you gained over 3 to 4 months.
- For Beards: Once beard follicles fully transition from soft vellus hairs into thick, mature terminal hairs, those beard gains are generally permanent—even after you phase out Minoxidil.
