That is too funny about the skunk b/c the exact same thing happened to me the other day. My dad came into my room in the morning to wake me up and asked me what that smell was - he said it smelled like a skunk. LOL. I guess it's b/c I applied minoxidil after the spironolactone. Perhaps I'll try the...

Okay, here's the dilemma - I was on Finesteride for 17 months w/ virtually no improvement. If anything, my hair got significantly worse than before I started finasteride. Anyhow, at month 17 I added 5% minoxidil once a day. 6 to 8 weeks after starting minoxidil, I thought that my hair had improved and...

But how long do you wait between applications? Do you apply them all at once?

I did a search (obviously not thorough enough though) and couldn't find how long to wait between applications. I read that you should apply spironolactone first and then minoxidil but how long do you wait before applying the minoxidil?

I swear by it.

Anyone use Rite Aid's generic 5% minoxidil? I just swtiched to it from Rogaine 5% and am having trouble opening it. It's very awkward compared to the Rogaine bottles - am I missing something - am I supposed to tear something off or break it off? i can get it open but it seems like a real hassle...

I live in the lower mainland in BC so I just go over to Bellingham and get it from there.

Hey, I've been using 1ml of 5% minoxidil for 2 months now on my crown and now I want to start applying it to my temple/hairline region as well. Do I reduce the 1ml dosage on my crown to 0.5ml and apply the other 0.5 ml to my temple/hairline region or what?

I'm in Canada too and you should be able to get T-gel at any drug store. I bought mine at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I use it and all it is is a concealer. The microfibers bond to your thinning hair to provide you w/ the appearance of thicker hair. It washes out w/ water quite easily though.

I am a Norwood 2.5 or so w/ a huge thinning spot on my crown (3 inches in diameter or so). You can see my scalp clearly and there is quite a shine. No one has ever seen it - not even my family b/c I always have some sort of concealer on (either Toppik or Couvre or both). I have been on fines...

I posted this once already but no response so I'll try again. Does anyone know if applying minoxidil on top of Couvre will affect the absorption of the minoxidil? Someone on this forum claims to be doing this but is it any less effective?

Does anyone know if applying minoxidil on top of Couvre affects the absorption of the minoxidil?

I use a q-tip when applying it to my crown.
