Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.

As per your complain Hair 4 U 10% contains Minoxidil 10% and it is commonly given in patients with Androgenic Aloepaecia which seems to be in your case and it is mostly due to hormonal cause as well as genetic in origin..
It is safer as well as helpful in hairgrowth but can have side effects like growth of thick and dark hairs on scalp..
But it is not a very common finding..
Biotin is a nutritional supplement and although will not cause any severe side effect but should be taken only after proper consultation with a Trichologist..
You can also be advised Finesteride to be taken orally..
Take multivitamins.
Take more of green leafy vegetables and lots of water..
Keep the scalp clean and dry..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
