Hey, just wondering, in the manual it says to apply half a capful twice a day. But if you are only using it in the temple region, you probably wont need half a capful...right?

I use 1/2 ml liquid on my temples, so I suppose this would translate into half of 1/2 a capful.

Probably.

But if you only need to treat the temples why bother with minoxidil in the first place? Why not save other weapons for later on?

Half a cap is relatively supposed to be 1ml when you compare it to the liquid dropper dose.

Because temples can sometimes fill in with minoxidil and it can be used anytime, so why not now?

I'm prob starting the foam in August and with my loss I'll probably have to use a whole capful twice a day because I'm diffuse for 4 inches behind the hairline and have to fill in that whole area.

Yeah its a personal choice of course but I rarely hear of temple success and to me it makes more sense to slowly add in as time goes on.

Fighting hair loss is a marathon against time my friends.

Haha I use more then half a capful. I probally use 2 capfuls a day for my hairline and temples and sometimes spread it to my vertex lol.

Well im about a nw3 or 3.5 now and most of the temple areas are slick bald so I dont think finasteride could bring them back.
Also, when im applying the foam, I dont put it im my hand all at once, I just spray a bit on my hand then apply it and go back for more. So, its hard to tell exactly how much im useing each time. But I doubt its anywhere near half a capful..

that's what i do too, put a bit in my hand and do one temple, put a bit in the other hand and do the other temple, go back for a bit more and just work it through the front of my scalp. so i have no idea how much i use either, i imagine it's around half a capful anyways. this shits not rocket science though.
