FAQs
Q1. What does Kera M 5% Solution do to the scalp to promote hair growth?
A1. Minoxidil at 5% w/v is a vasodilator that increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles by widening the scalp's blood vessels. This prolongs the active growth phase (anagen) of the hair cycle and progressively moves dormant follicles back into growth — increasing both hair count and strand thickness over time. It's applied directly to the scalp, not the hair shaft, because the follicle (not the strand) is the target.
Q2. Is Kera M 5% Solution suitable for women experiencing hair loss?
A2. Yes — 5% minoxidil is recommended for both male and female androgenetic alopecia, and is the standard dermatologist-prescribed starting concentration for women. Apply twice daily to the affected scalp area using the dropper or applicator, targeting the scalp surface rather than saturating the hair strands. Use it consistently — missing applications significantly slows progress.
Q3. Should I expect more hair to fall before it regrows?
A3. Yes — an initial shedding phase is common in weeks 2–8. Minoxidil shifts resting follicles into active growth prematurely, causing old telogen hairs to shed before the new growth cycle begins. This resolves on its own and is followed by measurable density improvement. If heavy shedding continues beyond 12 weeks, seek dermatologist advice.
Q4. Can I use it alongside the Keraglo Eva supplement?
A4. Yes — and combining them is a commonly recommended approach. Keraglo Eva corrects nutritional deficiencies (iron, Vitamin D, B vitamins) that contribute to diffuse hair loss from the inside; Kera M 5% Solution acts directly on the scalp follicles via blood flow. They work through entirely different mechanisms, so there's no conflict in using both.
Q5. How long before I see new growth?
A5. First signs of regrowth — fine, vellus hairs — typically appear at 8–12 weeks. Thicker terminal hair growth becomes visible at 4–6 months. A full response is assessed at 12 months of consistent twice-daily use. Patience and consistency are the two most important factors with minoxidil.
Q6. What happens when I stop treatment?
A6. Hair regrowth from minoxidil is dependent on continued use. Most people return to their pre-treatment hair loss pattern within 3–6 months of stopping. Minoxidil is maintenance, not a cure — the underlying cause (genetics, hormones) continues unless separately addressed.
