topical minoxidil is what you need to be applying to your scalp to help achieve thicker hair and to keep it in the actively growing anagen phase for a longer period of time. you must use if for 6-12 months every day and twice daily in order to see optimal results. i read about minoxidil and it says it is for people who are bald. it is a form of rogaine. is this still for those who don't have a hair loss problem to grow longer hair faster?
what should i do -- or not do -- to my hair to help it grow longer faster?
