Hi all. I'm new here, so apologise if these are common questions. I've been using Minoxidil for about 10 months now (a generic version for various reasons), but applied once daily but in quite a large dosage per time. I noticed some small regrowth after about six months, but that's largely stopped now and hair loss is still as bad as ever, and looks like it's getting worse.

Three questions: 1. Should I apply twice daily; 2. If so, should I also apply a little less (does it make any difference); and 3. Is it possible that because I've seen a small effect that's apparently slowed or stopped, I won't see any more benefit even with dosage adjustment? (In other words, is it worth persevering with?)

Next question, but rhetorical: I guess it's time to get hold of some Propecia also. Thanks for reading and hopefully replying.

yeah, twice a day for the win....no doubt about that, man

go with rogaine foam...easy and cheap when bought in bulk

use suggested amount, i think 2ml?.....i use a little more...

its hard to tell how much your using when you put in directly on your head
so use it sparingly and see how long it lasts you
