Experience proven results with Minoxidil, a topical and pill solution designed to help revive thinning hair and promote regrowth.
What is Minoxidil?
Overview of the Treatment
Minoxidil is a hair loss treatment that works by widening the blood vessels to the scalp so more oxygen and nutrients can reach your hair follicles. The solution is usually applied as a topical serum or foam but is also available as an oral medication. It’s widely available under popular brand names like Rogaine as an over-the-counter treatment.
How it Works?
By acting as a vasodilator, the medication dilates blood vessels to allow for thicker and healthier hair growth. Learn more.
Who It’s For?
Minoxidil can be used by men and women and is safe as a long-term treatment but should be kept out of reach of pets and children as it can cause unwanted side effects. Learn more.

“Been using it for 3 years, and couldn’t be happier”
Thanks to the support and expert advise of Hairy Hair I have not only saved the hair I had but also reclaimed my hairline. Took about a year for me to notice regrowth but now 3 years down the track I couldn’t be happier or confident thanks to the results.

“Within 2 months I saw dramatic change
Truly blown away by this product. I almost reached a stage where I thought it was time to shave it all off! I wore a cap pretty much everyday, always self-conscious without it. A good friend of mine recommended Hairy Hair, I thought “why not” I’ll do it for 6 months and see what happens. The results are astounding. Within 2 months I saw a dramatic change. I still have hairs growing that I didn’t think were going to come back. Plus, I don’t lose hair in the shower anymore!! Bring on the next few months. Thank you, Hairy Hair!

Minoxidil is meant to be used as a long-term solution for hair loss. If you stop using the medication, whatever hair growth you have attained may shed, and hair loss may persist. This is because minoxidil needs to be used consistently to enjoy the results.
Topical minoxidil treatments must be applied once or twice daily. They can come as lotions, shampoos, serums, and foams. The oral version is a pill taken each day. Both versions have their own potential side effects; while the topical may cause localised effects, the oral medication can lead to systemic effects.
The topical solution produces side effects that manifest as skin irritation, rash, itching and discomfort in the affected region. People taking oral minoxidil face higher chances of systemic side effects, including nausea and fluid retention alongside weight gain and sexual dysfunction.
Most people who begin using minoxidil experience hair shedding as their initial side effect. Hair shedding occurs because the resting phase of the hair cycle gets shortened when minoxidil treatment begins. In this period, minoxidil works to lengthen the anagen phase, which enables the quick replacement of shed hair with new, healthy hair.
You should apply minoxidil before applying any hair products to your scalp. The drug will take a minimum of 4 hours to dry up before you put anything else on top of it. You also require a clean scalp before applying minoxidil.
Finasteride and minoxidil are two different medications. Minoxidil is usually applied as a topical solution, while finasteride is more commonly available as a daily tablet. Minoxidil increases oxygen and nutrient flow to your scalp, whereas finasteride is a DHT blocker that prevents your hair follicles from shrinking.
