Nearly a month since my last photo. Here is another. I have my first follow-up appointment (in two days time) with the hair specialist since starting minoxidil. Hopefully they will agree that it looks promising.

The instructions says 1mL at night only on affected areas 2hrs before going to sleep. 1mL of the cream is actually quite a lot so I've been using 0.5mL to the hairline area at night and that seems to be enough. and yes, the hairs thickened up so quickly I felt I had to share the good news (Feb...

I am only using half the recommended volume per application which makes it last longer my friend. £300 (what the full amount would cost) isn't exactly cheap when I pay £40 for a year of finasteride (Fincar)
