    styling hair after minoxidil

    It really matters how much you rewet it. If your totally going to soak it with water, you gotta wait at least 2-4 hours. If your just making it a little damp and being careful not to get a lot of water on your scalp, then it would be ok.

    Infinite shedding! Advice needed bad!

    How much hair are you shedding? I'm thinking it's the once a day application also. Definately should do it twice a day.

    off topicals for a week -- disastrous shed coming?

    it also matters how long you've been using it. I doubt you'd have a MASSIVE shed. But you'll probably see more hairs falling out then while you were on it, most probably towards the end of your trip than in the beginning

    loreal vive for men(thickening shampoo)

    Yeah I started using this last month. I was in a search to find a shampoo I could use everyday. And I pretty much found it with this. It doesn't make huge improvements, but my hair definately feels a little thicker after shampooing with it. I'm using the Shampoo+Conditioner. I think I might...

    Exercise and frequent hair washing

    I think it has something to do with it. Living a healthy lifestyle is very important for any health condition, whether it be hairloss or heart desease. I don't know the exact science behind it, but I bet there is some kind of science behind it. For the washing hair part, I think it's just...

    18-yr old College Student, Diffuse Thinning

    I would say not to go on Propecia and Rogaine right now. First find out the problem? I know when I entered college I had a lot of stress? Maybe that is it? Maybe see a pscychiatrist or psychologist for that. Doy ou have gastro-intestinal problems(any one or more of these symptoms: diahrea...

    minoxidil 2mg 1x day

    From my experience, you gotta do it twice a day w/ at least 1mL each application. There's a reason why they made that the recommended dosage. I had the trouble too of "applying it in the morning and facing the world." But there comes a time when you do have to face the world, and just can't...

    for diffuse thinners using minoxidil

    I first put the minoxidil in rows and concentrate on areas where i'm losing more hair, and I tend to rub the minoxidil in the areas where I noticed more thinning and loss of hair. The rest of the scalp i just let it soak in there.

    Shampoo ?!?!?!?

    I recently just tried VIVE for men. It came out new. It's made for men that are thinning I believe, at least that's what it says on the bottle. My hair definately FEELS thicker. Looks wise, it doesn't look much thicker using this shampoo, I would say it looks just a bit thicker. Probably...

    Finasteride poll: Who ISN'T on finasteride???

    I don't take finasteride. Only Rogaine 5%. I used propecia a couple years back for about 1-2 months. And it made me shed like crazy. Very very badly. I know people say that shedding is normal. But the amount I was shedding, I don't think that was normal at all. I started using Rogaine earlier in...

    Avodart 0.5mg everyday for past 4 months not working

    Did you try Rogaine or Propecia before you tried Avodart? Propecia and Rogaine are the only clinically proven FDA approved treatments to treat male pattern baldness. If so, I think you should stop that Avodart and give Propecia and/or Rogaine a try.

    Pics of my f**cked up head

    doesn't look like male pattern baldness to me. Try going to your Doctor and finding out... althought docs aren't good with answers for hair loss either.

    Greasy Sh*t?

    rogaine shouldn't take 1.5 hours to drive. It should take max 30 minutes.. ESPECIALLY with short hair. Maybe your using more then 1mL. If so try to cut down to 1mL. try applying it better to the scalp rather then having a lot on your hair, by parting our hair in areas. Other then that the...
