How Does Minoxidil Work?
Interestingly, despite being a well-known hair growth treatment worldwide, medical experts still don’t know how exactly minoxidil works. Doctors believe that minoxidil interacts with sulfotranferase present on the scalp. This produces minoxidil sulfate, an active ingredient that does the job.
So What Exactly Happens On Your Scalp?
The active ingredient shortens the telogen (resting) phase of your follicles. They enter the anagen (active) phase and start producing hair. Minoxidil can also lengthen the active phase. As a result, your hair may grow thicker and longer.
How Are Finasteride And Minoxidil Different?
Finasteride is designed to work on the DHT level in your body so that it does not hinder the function of follicles. Minoxidil does not affect hormone levels. It works only on the scalp.
Is Minoxidil Only For The Crown Of Scalp?
Not really. Although a debate is on whether minoxidil works on receding hairline, there is growing evidence that shows it does work. The doubt came into existence as minoxidil was primarily tested on the crown of scalp to get approval from the FDA. This led to the belief that it works only on the crown.

Doctors’ Explanation
Follicles on the entire scalp are the same. They are not different at the hairline. So, if something is meant to work on the top of scalp, it will work at the hairline too. Detailed evidence of its working on hairline does not exist yet. But that shouldn’t stop you from using it on your hairline.
