A: Minoxidil does work on the front of the scalp to prevent the progression of hair loss and may thicken areas of early thinning, although it won’t re-grow hair in areas that are bald.

I would also consider using finasteride (the active ingredient in the hair loss medication Propecia) as this will also work on the front of the scalp to prevent further hair loss and to increase areas of thinning – and it is more effective than minoxidil.

A: Yes, curly hair grows as well after a hair transplant surgery as straight hair.

After the hair restoration, the transplanted hair will take on the characteristics of the hair that was originally in the area, so it will match perfectly with respect to curl and wave.
