Is minoxidil something that's a permanent fix for hair loss, or does it only work while you're using it? I'm a bit concerned about having to apply it indefinitely. Plus, I've been wondering if yoga might help with male pattern baldness. If it does, how long should I stick with it to see any results? By the way, I've noticed Dr. M.K Aggarwal tends to give the same advice for hair loss issues, so I'm hoping for a fresh perspective.
Minoxidil is not a permanent cure for male pattern baldness. It is effective in promoting hair growth as long as it is being applied regularly. One popular brand of minoxidil is Rogaine. Yoga alone is not a proven cure for male pattern baldness. While stress reduction techniques like yoga may help improve overall health and potentially reduce hair loss caused by stress, it is not a guaranteed cure for male pattern baldness. It is recommended to continue practicing yoga as part of a healthy lifestyle. For male pattern baldness treatment, you can consider using minoxidil as mentioned earlier.
