Hi there Kowsar,
To my mind, there is no real appreciable difference between 2%, 5% & 10% as regards hair growth especially in women. As a dermatologist i generally avoid giving women more than 2% topoical minoxidil to limit the side effects that most women face on minoxidil. It is true that in some cases when one stops minoxidil, the hair that is grown tends to fall. I would suggest you pay your dermatologist a visit. xxxx.
