I am in Belgium and was given minoxil. I then heard that there is a risk of skin cancer from it so stopped. The hair started growing in tufts but disappears the moment you stop using it. I think it is better to find the cause of the hair loss. At present I am checking on my iron levels and have found I have thyroid problems which may be causing it and too much testosterone since the menopause. I am trying to correct that. Other people say to eat kelp. I cannot help on Kevis but looked at Kerastase and it seemed to have the same ingredients as minoxil. Good luck and feed back any positive results!
