I have Murray's 15%. I just started. But's a bit thick, like lotion. how do you apply it? I feel like a good amount gets stuck in my hair since I diffused thinning all over.

is 1ml really enough to cover your whole head if you have diffused thinning?

murray ave apothecary in the usa...they could ship to japan for a fee...only legit place i know of, but cost $90 dollars US a bottle plus you need a script from a medical wellness pharmacy website ($60) ,.....google them, or give them a cal, they are in pittsburgh PA. l
Thanks for the info, I'll bear that in mind. Sounds pricey and the prescription I could do without.
unless you can get your doctor to give you a prescription for a higher strength minoxidil plus the topical finasteride plus all the additives (aa, progesterone, hydrocortisone) then there is no way around it. id just pay it tbh, bc its hard finding a doctor who will write such an exact script without a fuss and a million questions.

Or you could come across someone from a hairloss forum who has all the necessary tools, lab access, and pharmaceutical grade chemicals to create said mixture.
i dont think its as easy or simple as that , i.e. if you apply 2ml of a 5% minoxidil, instead of just 1 ml as the bottle reads, you won't get a 10% solution.
But you get the same amount of minoxidil just in more dilute form.

Just use 1ml of 15% of Murray per day. Trust me, applying 5% more times is not good, it gave me strong headaches. Using 1ml of 15% lotion from Murray is safe and effective, I don't get headaches. Usually you know within an hour of applying if you get headaches or not on more applications of 5%. Like once I used 3ml of 5% at once, and within the hour got a terrible, terrible headache,it was unbearable, and uncharacteristic because I don't get headaches ever. The headache went away after I thoroughly washed the minx off my scalp. I tried it again a different day and the same thing happened, really bad headache from applying 3ml at once. I relieved the headache after washing my scalp completely again. That's when I knew it was the extra application of minoxidil.
Now maybe if you apply 1ml+1ml+1ml+1ml throughout the day, washing your scalp off of the dried minoxidil, maybe you won't get the headaches I experienced. Maybe I got the headaches because I applied 3ml at once.
