Are People Using Minoxidil Wrong? Could Explain The "loss Of Effectiveness" Over Time.

How do you guys use minoxidil? I use it all over the top of my head... twice a day every day. At month 19, I'm still improving. I have read that people only use it in their balding areas. Doesn't it make sense that rogaine "loses effectiveness" if you all aren't applying it to even the non balding area? I honestly do not think people use minoxidil in the NW7 area with absolute compliance.

@WarLord has and minoxidil has kept his hair for 16 years.

Thoughts?

I use minoxidil kirkland for like 3 months all over the top 1ml 1x/day, works like a candy.

If you see the reviews of minoxidil from Amazon, eBay or others sites, have many guys to say use minoxidil for many years....

But the weird thing is when I used finasteride never stopped the shedding, but minoxidil stop the shedding.

Btw you put a study about minoxidil to say works like anti-dht....who knows, nobody know how minoxidil makes grow the hair.

Pavi, slightly off topic, but how often do you use 2% nizoral? I'm starting to try it everday, and using a conditioner after. also upping my minoxidil to about 3-4 ml per night. do you think it's really bad that i don't use it twice a day?

I use it every other day. I think using it every day is harsh on the hair

People have some luck with dermarolling. Even guys who dermaroll eventually take something else.

It slows down hair loss. Not sure it completely stops it. Hopefully I'm wrong.
