Exact same thing happened to me when I tried it years ago, you're not the only one. The effect was actually quicker than with Finasteride side-effects somehow, it took 6 months on finasteride for me to experience sexual sides. I took 500mg of Saw Palmetto daily for 2 days before I had finasteride like effects...

No it shouldn't. I did go through 2 big sheds when using Minoxidil but my hair came back strong afterwards so I think that's just part of the process

I shampoo every day, the amount of sebum in my hair/scalp seems to be directly connected to the amount of itch I have (more sebum=more itch). My hair is very oily naturally so I was shampooing every day even before I started losing my hair. Strange that Zix makes your hair dry, for me it's the...

I used to store it in the fridge but I don't think you need to, I would just to be safe. Twice a day yeah, morning and evening. I don't lose hair when applying it, any loose hair comes out when I do my daily 10 minute massage in the shower using a handheld massager machine.

Yeah fair enough on the Finasteride front, I just think that for some people it helps resolve their hair loss issue so it is worth trying for those that it's suited for. The data on the Procyanidin B2 stuff is solid enough, many different studies reported that it helps with hair regrowth (in...

Yeah I apply Zix morning and night, minoxidil at night only and I leave 30 minutes between Zix and Minoxidil applications usually (just because I'm paranoid about the zinc in Zix interfering with Minoxidil, although I searched and cannot find much substance to these claims, better safe than...

Aren't you supposed to use 70% ethanol?

I'm going to go back to using the Procyanidin B2 topical I was using before. It was working but was awkward to use in conjunction with Zix as you had to wait until Zix dried before applying the PB2 topical. I tried finasteride for about 7 months on its own back when I first started losing hair, didn't...

Worked very well for about a year and a half, no itch and maintained a full head of hair. But the itch has returned now as my hair loss has gotten more severe so I'm searching for another solution. Still using Zix though as it definitely helps!

This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alvita-Ethyl-Alcohol-70-250ml/dp/B09X1XVC91/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1M491OGAWHVP1&keywords=ethyl+alcohol+70+percent&qid=1650372290&sprefix=ethyl+alcohol+70%2Caps%2C50&sr=8-1

Been using a homemade Witch Hazel, Apple Cider Vinegar and distilled water mix most days recently and it has been helping with the itch quite a lot. I'm not sure whether it's because of the sebum being controlled or the witch hazel/apple cider vinegar lowering inflammation. I leave it on for 10...

I've actually just started a private chat with Worm about this sediment issue. I've been using a particular Ethyl Alcohol 70% product for Zix up until now when I sourced a different brand. The only difference between the two ethyl alcohols is that one is denatured with Cetrimide 0.25-0.3%...

Zinc Sulphate 50mg, brand is MAJOR. I actually bought the set of vitamins etc from the advinfoprod site to make sure I was using the right stuff, but I don't think there's any need to do this.

For the first year Zix worked really well combined with Minoxidil. The itch which had returned after 3-4 years on Minoxidil but after only 2 days on Zix the itch went away and the quality of my hair drastically improved. Hair became very shiny and healthy looking, so I have faith in Zix as a...

I use Minoxidil in the evening and Zix in the morning and have done for the past 2 years. Like Thor9 says, I don't think Zinc interferes with the action of Minoxidil at all, just a rumour as far as I can tell. On Mondays I do micro-needling in the evening so I apply both Zix and Minoxidil...
