    Hairloss story, regimen (starting at 16y/o in 1997)

    10 month update. The shed stopped probably 2-3 weeks ago. I certainly lost everything I had gained during my first months on minoxidil. Regrowth is slowly starting. I'm maintaining my new regiment: minoxidil foam in the morning and liquid at night.

    Hairloss story, regimen (starting at 16y/o in 1997)

    9 month update. Some good news. The terrible shed that started a couple weeks ago has slowed down. Not sure it's entirely over. In the meantime, I definitely lost whatever I had gained in the first months of using minoxidil, just before switching to minoxidil Liquid + Foam. I'm starting to see a...

    Abstinence is the major weapon in defeating hair loss!!!!

    the average age of hairloss has decreased - the amount of pizza people eat has increased. regions like south America or the far east are known for a very low percentage of baldies... blah blah because of the invasion of pizza from western culture.

    Hairloss story, regimen (starting at 16y/o in 1997)

    Thanks for all this info. My story begins in 1997, but it's only recently that I felt the need to get more info. I still have plenty of hair. But I experienced an important shed about 6-8 months ago. That's when I started to look for additionnal solutions.

    Guys, I need some support (after changing regimen)

    Hey guys, I started minoxidil liquid and saw positive results after 4-5 months. I didn't shed at that time. I was really happy with that. I decided to change my regimen after 5 months to get rid of the huge flakes created by the dried liquid. I switched to foam in the morning and liquid in the...

    Hairloss story, regimen (starting at 16y/o in 1997)

    [After 7 months] -- I did see positive results after 5 months. No noticeable shed at that time, and hair definitely grew on my front balding spots. -- I decided to change my regimen around May 1st after about 5 months (updated above): minoxidil Foam (5%) in the morning and minoxidil Liquid (5%) in the...

    Hairloss story, regimen (starting at 16y/o in 1997)

    [2 months on Minoxidil] Update: -- I don't think I shed that much (yet). Not sure if more hair will fall. Crossing fingers. -- I have seen a couple new hair growing in receding areas. It's hard to tell how many are growing right now, but I think this is good news. But I know it's probably too...

    Question: minoxidil application consistency (same hour everyday)?

    I'll probably be able to apply minoxidil twice a day most of the time (i'd say 26-27 days/month, and will probably skip one or two applications 4 days/month). I hope the results will be positive. Korlicbus, how long did you apply it inconsistently, to get these (somewhat) positive results? A...

    Will precise application of minoxidil minimise shedding?

    I asked the exact same question, some time ago. Here: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/showthread.php/71695-Idea-to-reduce-full-scale-shedding-when-starting-minoxidil-your-opinion-please I decided to go ahead and apply minoxidil where my hair is thinning, and not exclusively the edge of this area...
