Ive been on 5% minoxidil for going on 5 months now, Ive been applying it nights only since it greases up my hair when I put it on during the day. By using minoxidil so far ive noticed a ton of vellus hairs around the hairline so I was thinking of making the switch to Xandrox 15 from minoxidil.com...
