hi there.
1. minscalp plus 10 % contains high concentration of minoxidil.
2. minoxidil by nature is a vasodilator, which is the reason for the headache.
3. headache will settle down after 1-2 hours of minoxidil application, if persistent re consult your doc and ask him to suggest low concentrations of minoxidil.
4. never stop using minoxidil suddenly, you should tapper it off for protecting the thickened hair.
hope i gave you required information.
