WITH MINOXIDIL 5%, REGAIN YOUR CONFIDENCE WITH HAIR
If you are experiencing some early signs of baldness, such as thinning, weakening hair or retracting hair roots, you should consider using Minoxidil 5% as a timely treatment to protect existing hair and stimulate hair regrowth. In this article, we invite you to find out about NEWHAIR is 5% Minoxidil – hair loss medicine for men!
1. WHAT IS MINOXIDIL 5%? HOW DOES IT WORKS?
Minoxidil is a topical, over-the-counter product that has been approved by the FDA to treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Minoxidil 5% is used to treat mild to moderate male thinning and baldness.
To understand how Minoxidil works, you need to look at the process of hair growth, loss, and replacement.
A hair will go through many different stages. During the “anagen phase”, the hair will grow in length and up to 90% of your hair in this phase. On average, the “anagen phase” will last from 2 to 6 years, at which time the hair will grow continuously. However, when it grows to its full length, it will enter the “catagen phase” and separate itself from your scalp. Next, the hair will go to the “telogen phase,” where the entire hair structure will rest for several months. Eventually, the old hair will completely separate and fall out of the scalp and new hair will grow in its place.
The application of Minoxidil 5% to the scalp will help prolong the growing phases and shorten the degenerating phases of the hair, thereby helping the already atrophied hair follicles to expand again. Many studies have proven that Minoxidil also helps improve blood flow to the scalp, which helps to provide the necessary nutrients for maximum hair growth. Minoxidil produces synergistic effects and then stimulates the growth of hair follicles, improving hair thickness, density, and texture. Compared to other hair growth shampoos, Minoxidil 5% is more concentrated and pure, therefore helping to change the structure and life cycle of hair.

Before applying minoxidil, make sure your hair is completely dry. If you have just finished showering, dry your hair before applying the solution.
Open the cap of the Minoxidil 5% vial and remove the nozzle on the pump. Attach a spray tube and press firmly. Direct the sprayer to the center of the hair loss area, press the sprayer once, and use your fingertips to spread the medication over the area to be treated. Repeat the action 6 times to achieve a dose of 1 ml. To make it easier for the medicine to reach the scalp, you can divide your hair into small sections. After you have applied Minoxidil or removed the spray tube, close the cap after use.
When you have finished applying Minoxidil, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water to remove any remaining Minoxidil from the skin. Although Minoxidil can improve hair growth, it does not cure baldness. To maintain the results, you need to continue using Minoxidil daily.
