    Minoxidil And Dry/irritated Scalp - Advice Please

    This funny and weird Canadian guy has a mix of rosemary, skullcap and yarrow flowers. He also said he was going bald and went to a juice diet and less things like dairy, grains, meat, etc. He is not the only person who has talked about using rosemary.

    How Safe Is Minoxidil By Itself? Are The Side Effects Permanent?

    1. I put it on at night more towards the front forehead hairline and from laying down, going to sleep, it would also move to the back but not the whole head. oddly, for all those years I did not message it in or use a derma roller which I just started trying. 2. No. The crown or back or...

    How Safe Is Minoxidil By Itself? Are The Side Effects Permanent?

    It is good. I had very good discipline and put it on every night and hardly ever during the day. I missed maybe 3 or 4 days in 35+ years! I may try to post a picture. I started early around 21 because I was just seeing slight thinning at hairline. Just started derma rolling for the edges...

    Derma Rolling - Smaller Needles & More Often To Absorb minoxidil?

    Please note I am not blog pimping. I found a site that had some good info on derma rolling. www.dermarollerinfo.com I liked Sample 2 http://dermarollerinfo.com/micro-needling-derma-roller-for-hair-loss/ He has you rolling more with 0.25 mm, about 4 times a week, to help minoxidil soak in. He...

    Minoxidil And Dry/irritated Scalp - Advice Please

    I am trying Progaine Sensitive which has no propylene glycol like liquid. I have been using minoxidil for 35 years. The crusting and scabbing was getting too much. I also bought the foam. Going off 5% Kirkland/or other liquid generic eased up the itching and scabbing. The Progaine less and...

    Need Help With The Application Of Minoxidil Liquid. 1ml For Everywhere? Or 1ml For Each Affected Pla

    It is hard to say. When I started, Rogaine was very new. It was not cheap but the price came down. I mainly put it on each night. I jumped on it as soon as I saw my hairline starting to thin just a tiny bit. I think I was 21 or 22.. At 57, my hair looks great. The front is starting to...

    Has Anyone Tried Cvs Beauty 360 Natural Hair Growth Solution?

    Thanks but does anyone know if the non propylene glycol liquid versions work and which brand is best? I think it is the cause of irritation. I am using foam but I have hair so it is harder to work with.

    Has Anyone Tried Cvs Beauty 360 Natural Hair Growth Solution?

    I am not pimping. It has something called plant active bioroot from organic pea sprout extract. I think Sheffield Pharma makes it for CVS. They had it on close out for 3 bottles for $9.99. It supposedly penetrates the deepest part of the hair bulb. I am not trying to pimp just wonder if...

    Yes. I am 57 now and the front is keeping up but starting to weaken. Just 5% minoxidil. I am starting to dermaroll. I am looking at adding other things. I considered Stephen on youtube with his onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar plus a little olive oil. He totally quit minoxidil. My issues is...

    Need Help With The Application Of Minoxidil Liquid. 1ml For Everywhere? Or 1ml For Each Affected Pla

    I would put small drops on sides then middle then other side towards the front edge of you hairline in the front. Maybe a half inch in from your front hairline. Do small drops on say 7 or 8 spots with a small amount from one edge to the other then take your fingers and gently rub it in. Try...

    Minoxidil, Dermaroller So Far So Good 5 Weeks (pictures)

    I can tell you from using minoxidil 5% for 35 years, 2% for the first couple of years. - The back or crown should pretty easily fill in with minoxidil by itself. The front will be harder but should be possible. I started at 21 when I noticed a little receding at the front. Anyone derma rolling...

    Minoxidil For 2 Weeks,some Shedding

    I have used it for 35 years. 2% then 5% as soon as it came out. I caught it at age 21. It is the only low cost option that I know of. It has worked for me for all these years but I cannot take the propylene glycol (PG) in liquid minoxidil any longer. The foam does not have it. I am also...

    Minoxidil For 2 Weeks,some Shedding

    I have been using Minoxidil for 35+ years. I started just about as soon as Rogaine came out. I caught it early when I was about 21. It has worked for me. I missed maybe 3 or 4 days in 35+ years. I do not ever recall "shedding." The only downside is after all these years I cannot take the...

    How Safe Is Minoxidil By Itself? Are The Side Effects Permanent?

    I have been using Minoxidil for over 35 years. I missed maybe 3 or 4 days in all those years. I started when I was about 21. As soon as I saw thinning, I jumped on it and this is when Rogaine first came out. The only side effects that I can tell: 1. I do have bags under my eyes and darker...

    Alternative Liquid Minoxidil With No Pg? Any Experiences?

    I have been using liquid Mixoidil for about 35 to 36 years from my very early 20s. I was getting slight receding, my father lost his hair and Rogaine had just come out. It was not relatively cheap then but I have been using it daily for all these years mainly at night. I have missed maybe 3...
