Not sure if minoxidil will help you, because it seems quite unlikely you are getting any hair back in the temple. Your hair is still pretty good, and I bet when it is dry it looks good? Is it just your hairline maturing? Like you said, prevention of further hair loss is key, so I would say...

Pictures of your hair would be useful. To answers your questions. Solution has no smell but it can leave the hair looking quite greasy, I only apply once a night and shower in the morning. 5% is the concentration that most of the available products have. In general, the effectiveness...

Draining the face kind of just means pushing your face (massaging), its pretty common practice to do so when you have a hair transplant as well, when your face gets saturated with water, liquid, it makes the face look quite bloated. As Minoxidil is a Vasodilator, draining the face every so often...

Yeah just once a day at night about an hour before sleeping, making sure it doesn't run down my forehead, been advised to also drain my face to avoid eye bags and puffyness. Crazy itch, red scalp though but I will ride through it this time as i'm adamant not to quit, saying that, in the 3...

Anyone that was following this thread. Just an update, I gave up very soon after my last post. My hair was getting better (at least I think it was) when I was at the 3 month mark, but my scalp was so itchy, I had to stop. Any gain that I had was lost and I was back to a NW3A style diffuse hair...

It sounds pretty stupid you're right, I'm a scientist, I have actually put some thought into this! A few years ago, I was studying genetic based diets - sesame seeds are one thing that are eating on a day to day basis in China, something my Western diet hasn't incorporated. Nothing to lose as...

Has any recently documented their hair loss by supplementing with black sesame seeds? I'm 24 this year, I've been struggling with hair loss from a young age, I was on finasteride by the time I was 20. I have diffuse thinning male pattern baldness. I'm on finasteride and minoxidil. I'm also...

Thanks for the detailed post, the microscope pictures are great. Keep updating us!

I was using the foam for 2 years with no itch, Ive switched to the liquid for the past months because I think it is better but damn the itch is real. There is no way to get around it, I've been going crazy with scalp itch since using liquid. I'm going to rotate liquid with foam, switching each day.

I have black diffuse thinning NW3A hair, having been on treatment for a while I've stabilised my hair loss but it is still extremely thin. A lot of the density that I have, the hair has lost pigmentation, black hair becoming brown or generally not as deep black. This might also have to do with...

They will go, its caused by water retention. Reduce your dose for a few weeks and it will return back to normal. If you are using 1x a day (7 x a week), then just do 1x a day (5 x a week), take the weekends off.

You can block websites on your computers which should encourage you to masturbate less. Excessive is very unhealthy. At this stage your hairloss is what, NW6, your thinning will get worse if you don't start lifestyle changes and start medication.

Early hair loss is always the worst. I started to lose at 18 and i'm 23 now. I used to get severe social anxiety but I've started to deal with that now. You really have to clear your head and be healthy, thats the best way to deal with your depression, try to live with it and develop yourself...

You are shaving wrong if you are consistently cutting yourself. Stronger growth of hair of your beard or arm hair is a great indicator that minoxidil is working.

It depends on the person I think, for example, I massage my head for about 1 minute before I apply my minoxidil, it gives me a brief stinging sensation when I apply it. I would say in my own case the carrier (alcohol) is penetrating my skin efficiently so there would be no need to dermaroll. If...
