So I’ve been using minoxidil off and on for the past 2 years and haven’t had much success with it.
I’ve quit min for various reasons, mostly money and lack of results. I initially thought I wasn’t having results because I was using min once a day. The longest I’ve been on min was maybe 5 months.
The last time I tried minoxidil I was successfully using it twice a day pretty much daily. I did this for 4-5 months and my dandruff was HORRIBLE. Nizoral wasn’t helping at all so I decided to stop until my dandruff went away.
It’s been about 3 weeks now and I’m wondering how to go about starting again if at all. So I have a couple of questions.
Firstly how do I keep dandruff from getting so bad? Also would the bad dandruff stop me from getting results from min?
I’m thinking maybe I need to massage min into my scalp? Normally when I apply min I just put it directly on my scalp. Also I try to use liquid because I have diffuse pattern and I grow my hair longer.
Any suggestions on what I can do differently? Also I’ve been using finasteride for a year. So I’m wondering if I even should start minoxidil again.
