decided now Alright , so after long hesitation and evaluation of the results , I've decided to drop Minoxidil as of tonight. I have a thinning spot at my front ,that kept thinning since months. It has become almost impossible to hide. I'm afraid I've come to the conclusion that either: 1-...

Nope , I wash my hair every other day and apply minoxidil immediately after. I don't think I have problems with minoxidil absorption. As I said , the regrowth was minimal , but what pisses me off is those thin spots that developed during these 9 months exactly where I rub minoxidil. Now don't...

Ok , so I have been using the 5% Minoxidil for a whole 9 months and 10 days to be exact. When I started I was around NW2 , receding hair line and temples but no loss at the back or top. To be honest , I'm now about NW3 and I've only had a minimal regrowth in the form of peach fuzz , few of which...

Yeah , you do that. Just tell him to hang on , cheer up and not lose hope. And that in a few years he'll be able to take an anti-dht and even a hair transplant , and then he would've kicked male pattern baldness's arse ! I wish you the very best of luck.

Angie , It really sucks to have to undergo such tests. Trust me I really feel your pain. Hairloss is something that is still not fully understood and that's why there's no 100 % effective treatment or cure to it. Probably , the best thing you can do is try to convince him not to care too...

Angie , I just can't believe your son's just 16 and he's losing hair already and in Norwood 2.5 ? Have you ever wondered if the cause of his hairloss could be something else other than genetic ? There are other factors that can cause hairloss like a strong emotional stress , an accident , some...

Well here's my story ! First ,I can't say my regimen is working for me or even maintaining my hair. I am 26 and I have fair dark brown hair. My temples started receding since 2002 I was 22 back then and it wasn't so noticable. Fortunately , I don't know anything about accutane or acne problems...

Nizoral did nothing for me. I have used it for 6 months and I swear to god it makes my scalp worse every time I use it. I usually shampoo at 11 pm. Immediately after my hair dries , I feel more itching and see red spots on my scalp. In the morning I discover more flake built up . I don't know if...

Here , try this one. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/478895_6

Yeah I only found out recently. If you do a simple research about minoxidil sides you'll definitely find it somwhere. I think it was even mentioned on a brand minoxil's package. Scary stuff...

Right mate , unfortunately it seems that you can't count on minoxidil alone here and propecia is REALLY necessary for maintenance. I'm already bothered with minoxidil's side effects ( body hair , water retention , depression ) I can't just afford more inconveniences.

7 months update ! Sad news , no regrowth or even maintenance on minoxidil and I've been using this sh*t for over 7 months now. Most of the peach fuzz will never make it into terminal. Finally ,I've just realized that minoxidil is more of a hair strengthning product than a hairloss treatment...

No , I use the exact recommended 2 ml a day , and even if I exceeded that , it shouldn't really reverse the effects. So I have been told. However, minoxidil is supposed to atleast slow down the balding process as it keeps the hair longer in anagen phase. I mean exactly what I said. My...

Really ? minoxidil is a med that sounds great on paper , but indeed you shouldn't expect miracles from it. minoxidil gets rid of the fast cycling follicles , that is the follicles most affected by DHT. I'm telling you I have been using the 5% concentration for 7 months and here are my conclusions. I...

Most minoxidil users experience a shedding phase. Personally , my shedding started like a week after I started the treatment. It had been very scary for the following 3 months , then it slowed down gradually until ccompletely stopped at the 5 months mark. You'll certainly regrow some of the hair you...
