HOW TO QUIT MINOXIDIL AND KEEP YOUR HAIR REGROWTH RESULTS? HAIR GROWTH EXPERT EXPLAINS
00:00 Introduction
00:19 What is Minoxidil
01:17 How to Wean Off over 9 months
Is it feasible to discontinue the use of minoxidil without experiencing significant hair loss? Hello, I'm William Gaunitz, CEO, and founder of Evolution Hair Loss Institute, and a fellow with the World Trichology Society, with over 21 years of experience in helping people regrow hair. Minoxidil, a potent blood pressure drug used orally and topically, is globally recognized as the primary treatment for hair loss, particularly the 5% formulation for both men and women. If you've been on 5% minoxidil, especially twice daily for over 90 days, abruptly stopping can result in hair shedding. Minoxidil acts as a vasodilator, expanding blood flow to hair follicles, synchronizing with hair growth. While it encourages new and thicker growth, it doesn't address the underlying issue.
If considering discontinuation, it's crucial to block the root cause of hair loss. For example, if DHT-related, males may use finasteride or herbal DHT blockers. For nutritional loss, addressing ferritin, iron, vitamin D3, and adjusting the diet for blood type is essential. Achieving a sustained equilibrium allows for a gradual weaning process. If using minoxidil twice daily, transitioning to once daily for 90 days is the initial phase, coupled with internal measures to block the underlying cause. Monitoring shedding and hair changes is crucial. If satisfactory, further reduction to every other day for the next 90 days is recommended, followed by a decrease to every third day or twice a week for an additional 90 days. If after nine months, hair remains healthy and continues to grow, weaning off minoxidil may be considered, indicating a stabilized influence of the drug due to blocking the underlying cause. For additional guidance on hair loss, check out my other video. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments; I'm here to help.

I used to do minoxidil twice daily consistently for about a year and watched my hair thickness slowly come back. Then I weaned off it gradually throughout a year and noticed most of the gains were retained. After that I got complacent and stopped totally. After about half a year, I noticed that my hair wasn't as thick as before. Went back to using minoxidil every 2-3 days and it was good enough to bring back some coverage and thickness. After a couple of years I started incorporating dutasteride. Not only was my receding hairline halted, fine hair even started regrowing at the previously barren areas. Around half a year after that I started using stamp-type hair needlers with 0.7mm needle depth which was sufficiently deep to pierce the hair bulge while causing acceptably minimal pain and bleeding. The needling was a game changer. Fine hair started growing in between my matured hair. It's been over 3 years since I incorporated occasional scalp needling (just once every 4-6 weeks). I no longer use dutasteride and I use minoxidil around twice weekly. My hair thickness and density do not seem to be reducing thus far and is actually pretty good. It would appear that permanent reversal of hair thinning was achieved.

This was very helpful . Questions: long so I can understand lol 1. so because it is increasing blood flow that’s why new hair growth is possible… When you come off … IF you lose hair , you’re losing the “NEW” growth… but you won’t be shedding the hair that has been growing naturally. But… because it’s extending the the growing stages ( keeping hair from shedding naturally) you may see lose that is just the hair that should have shredded naturally … ?? 2. If it’s is stimulating new follicles … why would the “NEW” hair fall out when coming off? Isn’t it already established hat it is growing … and coming off will not promote FURTHER growth of new hair ? Or are those new hairs dependent on the meds because the follicle needs that boost in order to grow hair ? 3. Can it grow hair where there has never been hair? Example: eyebrows? Hairline? That never has had hair before? Or does there need to be a folicle that has once grown a hair but is weak or whatever? 4. To confirm: will this med affect old growth at all? I have a lot of thick hair but just want to increase in areas … Getting more hair is a bonus but do not want to mess with the hair I already grow naturally and is heathy Thank uou… sorry that was a lot of run on sentences

I tried to ween off of the minoxidil while still taking the pill form DHT Blocker Minoxidil. I noticed clunks of hair coming out of my left side. I definitely don’t recommend weening, or stopping. Stick with the system that Dr G has in place. It really does works. At some point I’m going to start posting my pictures of my own results. My hair is past my shoulders and nearly at my mid back, my goal when I started this project was to get the things that guys in Jamaica wear. I showed up for a consultation, and the lady asked me was I mixed, I said no, she said are you sure? So I said my grandmother is white, and my mom is mixed, and she said your would be difficult because it’s straight/way! I said to her I see white people with dreadlocks! She said it would really hard because your hair is silky, so I understood her when said silky, no one wants to braid my hair, it’s that difficult. I can’t even greasy products that black folks use. I remember as I child, shopping in the grocery store with my grandmother, I would grad hair products for black people, my grandmother would laugh. She would grab Wella Bossom shampoo 🧴 and conditioner as backup. Grandmothers know best. The products for black folks would sit in the bathroom cabinet all summer long until my cousins would visit.

Can I somehow grow my hairs thicker without using minoxidil ?

@panagiotislepelis8177 Ай бұрын

Your hair will go back to how it would be without using minoxidil. You will not lose more hair than you naturally would that is a myth (but if your underlying male pattren baldness has progressed it will be like you never took minoxidil so worse than you remember which is why people take finasteride with it). If you're one of the lucky fews you could keep some of the new hair you grew but you won't know that for many months into quitting.

Well, I was using topical Minoxidil 5% once a day but broke my right arm and the application was difficult so I stopped completely for 3 months. Didn't notice any change at all. In fact my hair loss reduced significantly. The only thing I changed was taking protein supplements and vitamins to help heal the bone. Months later I restarted on Minoxidil but just because I was worried that the problem might come back. I also use liquid caffeine and essential oils. I won't even consider the possibility of taking systemic medication. My father in law had finasteride for an enlarged prostate and ended up with a bad case of osteoporosis. I prefer to lose my hair to my bones.

I am shesding in diffused manner there is no fixed pattern. I have been to 3 dermats all have said to just wait and watch. There is minor recession in hairline in these 3 years. Shedding has remained the same. Please help me what options do i have now? Should i try some safer options like hair peptides or something else.

It sounds like you're having a telogen effluvium shed from the initial minoxidil reaction. The low D3 and B12 need to be addressed immediately. I would take 10,000 units of vitamin D daily for the next 90 days and start on a methylated B-12. Low D3 increases your probability of telogen effluvium and will allow it to keep going if it maintains its low levels.

I would say there's at least a 50% chance that the vast majority of the new created during the use of minoxidil would remain though if the minoxidil use was greater than 12 to 18 months

I’ve been on finasteride for about 4 years now. When I first started, I noticed that my hair felt super strong, scalp inflammation/pain eliminated and my skin was dry. I had watery semen too. Now, it feels like finasteride has stopped working - hair is thinner, scalp feels a bit more inflamed and I’m producing a lot more sebum. No more watery semen. Why is this happening? I didn’t think that finasteride would ever become ineffective??

I have used Minoxidil with Finasteride foam for 3 months everyday and after I have basically reduced it gradually, during another 6 weeks.

I have used that foam just to prevent any further hair loss, my hair being already rare since 2018. Hopefully it helped.

@dimadani6585 2 күн бұрын

@dharshan6813 Seems even worse than last year, but hopefully it's just seeming so. Definitely, in many cases like mine, it doesn't worth at all taking Minoxidil and Finasteride. Comparing to 2017-2018 when my hair got a lot rarer, on videos it seems that since then I have actually lost even more hair and since last year I might have lost substantially more hair than in last years. Back then I was barely starting to do some driving videos with an action camera on the drivers side behind and above me, and after so many years only recently I did another video from that angle. The difference is pretty big and disappointing, despite that my hairline is the same as always. My hair is also significantly curly and maybe this helps to realise even better the significant enough loss over time, sitting worse and worse. To be honest since always I was not pleased enough of the way it sits, despite looking pretty good before 2017-2018. Now, despite being just not too rare (yet), it sits worse and worse year by year, looking good enough only when it's short enough, 2-3 mm maximum. I look more and more like a Boomer paiseant, pretty similar to the haircut of a funny photoshopped picture of Yoda, looking very similar to a step uncle of mine. Thankfully my head looks good enough bald, but I'm chubby. Maybe I should stay bald for not just 1 month and get used with it, to realise better how it looks. Now definitely I might look much better bald or very short trimmed, 1 mm, almost bald. Yet the real problem is that I might not attract anybody if I go this way. The social component is the worst, bald look is underrated.

Hi, William. Have you treated Black female patients with CCCA? I was dx in 2020, and it's been a journey since then, to say the least! Limited info and clinical studies make me feel so discouraged at times about stopping this and getting my crown back. PRP injections, corticosteroid injections, clobetasol -- nothing has helped and it's only progressed. That said, I'm starting to suspect DHT might be the issue vs some kind of internal inflammatory response (C-reactive protein tests have been low; ANA negative for autoimmune disorders). I get a tingling/cooling sensation in my scalp in the days before my period, which leads to pain & tenderness, then increased shedding -- and I think this might be due to DHT? It subsides after my cycle begins.

@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist 5 ай бұрын

Great questions... I'm sorry to hear that's why you're dealing with. CCCA has a lot of possible aggravators. The topical steroids are typically needed to manage the scarring and inflammation. You had a biopsy? And yes dht and nutritional hair loss can be factors in CCCA. Do you have Blood work? We have a panel on the Advanced Trichology website called zone three blood tests. Those are the blood tests most suitable for your possible condition

@alyshalight9762 5 ай бұрын

Yes, had a biopsy when diagnosed. And lots of bloodwork every year since, which has revealed candida overgrowth and slightly low zinc levels (like by 4-5 points). Other than that, everything else is pretty normal -- maybe not optimal in every case, but definitely in normal ranges.

Hi doc. i've been using minoxidil to try and grow out more facial hair recently. i have been using it twice daily (maybe done only once a few times where i didn't have the time or forgot). and i've been wondering if the facial hair i've gained would shed if i stopped minoxidil? i was thinking it might not as there is no recession going on on in the beard area so. anyways thank you❤

@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist 4 күн бұрын

Using minoxidil for facial hair growth can be effective, but it's important to understand what happens when you stop using it. Here's what you need to know: How Minoxidil Works: Minoxidil works by prolonging the growth phase of hair follicles and improving blood flow to the area where it is applied. This can lead to thicker and fuller hair growth, whether on the scalp or the face. Potential Outcomes of Stopping Minoxidil: Temporary Gains: If the hair growth achieved with minoxidil is still dependent on the treatment, stopping it may cause these hairs to eventually shed. This is because minoxidil supports the hair follicles and maintains their growth, and discontinuing the treatment can lead to a reversal of its effects. Permanent Gains: Some users report that hair grown during minoxidil use may become permanent if the follicles have been sufficiently stimulated to enter a regular growth cycle on their own. This varies from person to person and isn't guaranteed. Considerations: Gradual Reduction: If you plan to stop using minoxidil, consider tapering off gradually rather than stopping abruptly. This might help reduce the risk of sudden shedding. Consistency: For optimal and sustained results, consistency is key. Missing occasional applications is generally okay, but regular use increases the likelihood of maintaining gains. Monitoring and Adjustments: Observation: After stopping minoxidil, monitor your facial hair over the next few months to see if there is any shedding or thinning. Re-evaluation: If you notice significant shedding, you might decide to resume minoxidil use or explore other treatments or techniques to maintain your results. Other Tips for Facial Hair Growth: Healthy Diet: Ensure you are consuming enough vitamins and minerals, particularly those that support hair health (e.g., biotin, vitamin E, and zinc). Good Skincare: Keep your skin healthy and clean to support hair follicle health. Avoid Stress: Stress management is important, as stress can negatively impact hair growth. In conclusion, there is a possibility of shedding if you stop using minoxidil, as its effects can be temporary without continued use. However, each individual's response can vary. If you decide to stop using it, monitor your results and consider consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. ➡️ Reach out to us at www.advancedtrichology.com/

Considering your seborrheic dermatitis and ongoing treatment, it's important to manage hair fall effectively. In William Gaunitz's video "HOW TO QUIT MINOXIDIL AND KEEP YOUR HAIR REGROWTH RESULTS," he explains a structured approach to gradually reduce minoxidil without significant hair loss.

@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist 3 ай бұрын

If you're experiencing scalp inflammation and considering pausing minoxidil, it's crucial to first consult with a healthcare professional or a trichologist. They can help determine if the inflammation is directly linked to minoxidil use or if it's caused by another underlying issue. Typically, if minoxidil is the cause, a break from the treatment until the inflammation subsides might be recommended, often a few weeks to a month, depending on the severity and your response to other treatments for the inflammation. However, always seek professional advice to ensure you're addressing the inflammation effectively without compromising your hair growth progress.

I used Minoxidil for 6 months, and grew 2 years of hair loss back. I stopped using it for over a week, and starting losing my hair again. Once I got back on Minoxidil 2x daily, my hair instantly grew back. So far so good after 1 year of use. With that being said, are there any long term side effects using Minoxidil twice daily? The only occasional symptoms I get are headaches. Also, what do you think about Ketoconazole shampoo? Thanks for all you do for us. You have great products too!

@WilliamGaunitzTrichologist 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for that information. No there's no long term side effects with minoxidil. Problem is usually overtime it becomes less effective predominantly because most people do not block the underlying reason for the loss. As you've handled any dht or vitamin D3 that may be a problem then it should hold up pretty good long term. I am not a fan of ketoconazole shampoo unless there is a reason for it. Ketoconazole is an antifungal and it does seem to have an anti-inflammatory impact on the scalp temporarily but it does not do anything for dht. Therei is there some data out there that says that it supports the reduction of inflammation caused by aga but in my opinion you are coming at that situation from the exact wrong area and it may actually cause more problems than it prevents
