    TLDR Minoxidil can help regrow hair or slow down hair loss, but results vary among individuals.
    The document from 1988 discussed a study on the use of topical minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia. The researchers emphasized the importance of objective and quantitative outcome measurements in their study. They noted a wide range of responses that were considered cosmetically acceptable by patients, with some being disappointed with anything less than a full head of hair, while most were pleased with any amount of hair regrowth. Some patients were content to simply maintain their current hair amount by slowing down or arresting active hair loss. The researchers stressed their obligation to observe and measure responses as objectively as possible.
