Can you use too much minoxidil?

[DIM-001]

Hey you guys,

normally i keep my hair shortn like 9mm when i get my hair cut/buzzed,
but after 3 weeks its back "long" again and then i use more monoxidil then when my hair is 9mm long,
for example when it's 9mm long i use 1ml in the morning and 1ml in the evening, but when it's a bit longer i use between 1.5 and 2 in the mornign and evening,
but can u use too much of minoxidil because i thing too much of this stuff isn't that good, right?

Yes too much minoxidil is bad and will increase the likelly hood of side effects. Some of these effects can range from head aches, nausea, dizziness, water retention, chest pains etc.

In your case however i think your pretty safe with the dosage your using. When i grow my hair longer i tend to use a little more minoxidil but this because its much more difficult to apply minoxidil to the scalp and the hair soaks it up instead of the root of the hair in the scalp.

Thx Follicle84 for your answer,
luckily i haven't got any of those side effects since i use minoxidil,
but aside of the chance of getting more side effects or worsen the side effects,
does it do anything bad for the hear itself if you use too much minoxidil?
Because i don't want to make things worde by applying too much of this stuff

From what we can tell it doesn't really affect the hair anymore, the worst it will do is increase side effects or maybe cause flakes to develop on your scalp.
