I haven't seen your hair this long before, so it's hard to gauge exactly where you're at. But it seems like you are pretty much holding ground at this point. A lot of people do the needling once a week and get some wounding, pressing most of the 1.5mm needle in. Some things to consider: tretinoin (retin-A) could make minoxidil more effective by promoting the sulfotransferase enzyme, so maybe that's something to add to your stack. Something else to consider is more frequent rolling, maybe every other day, but avoiding bleeding, lightly rolling just enough to get the scalp pink, like SomebodyAlex does. It will also improve absorption of topicals. Might be worth trying. He's had great results.
