I started using hims brand minoxidil drops after I started getting a bald spot. With just two drops each day, my hair follicles responded, and I have new hair growth!!

I been using this alongside the shampoo and conditioner and let me tell you its fast results. Plain and simple I've struggled with hair growth and the products that I've been using have made my life 10 times better with my hair growth process.

I have been using the big name brand and store brands for a while with varying success. I notice that other solutions tend to be thin and runny, going all over the place. The hims product, however, is less runny and thicker allowing it to stay in place and do its job.
