Facing Problem with Rogain - experienced and prof advise pls

[mutantnilio]

I used rogain for 5 months, twice daily. And i had huge success.
Then i went to see Bosley, and a doctor said - continue for 7 more months and do it only once a day.

Now after 1 month with that instruction, I am actually loosing what i grew last 5 months.

* is it because i m using once a day now?
* anyone think I should continue twice cuz probably the hairline got used to such treatment?
* Any other professional advise? pls post.

Most likely.

* anyone think I should continue twice cuz probably the hairline got used to such treatment?
Yes. You should use minoxidil at least 12 months 2 x day (maybe you could still grow more hair), then switch to 1 x day.

* Any other professional advise? pls post.
Only a doctor could give you a professional advice.

Terrible advice. That doctor is obviously not knowledgable at all about the nature of minoxidil.

Many aren't. My dermatologist was completely oblivious to the common rogaine induced shed.

You can successfully apply minoxidil once a day, especially if you increase absorption. Try applying the minoxidil to a slightly damp head, just after you come out of the shower. I was able to continue maintaining and growing new hair, on just one daily minoxidil application, by increasing absorption in just this way.

Or you can take it to the next step, using .05% Retin-a creme/gel to increase absorption. I'm making HUGE progress with just a once-a-day application of Retin-a/minoxidil, and nothing else. Apply a few pea-sized dabs of Retin-a, wait 1-15 minutes, and then apply the minoxidil... and only use Retin-a 3-4x a week. Good luck.

Thanks much for your words.

I will continue twice from now on. But i felt like i lost 3 months of earliar hair growth in 1 month, only for using rogain once a day. May be this time I should continue more than 7 months, may b 8/9 - twice daily.
