I'm confused about minoxidil....

[Jaygee]

I'm beginning to get antsy about almost eveyone in here agreeing that applying minoxidil is a pain in the neck. They complain that it makes them late for work, etc....

I've been on it for a year (I don't think it's working but I'm afraid to stop), and I have never had this kind of problem with it. Am I doing something wrong? The whole thing takes me about thirty seconds. I just lift up my hair, aim the nozzle right on the white line, squirt very closely six times, roll my head around for a bit, let the hair fall, check the mirror and scram. It takes me a minute at the most.

Is there something I'm missing? I just can't imagine what everyone is talking about.


By the way, I just started Fincar last Friday, and am now in the process of holding my breath. Please, Lord....

(I'm on Nizoral, now, too.)

minoxidil dries on the hairline much faster than on the crown. The crown can easily take like 2 hours to dry with Rogaine or its generics.

I never put it on the hairline----although lately I'm starting to wonder if I need to.

Putting it on the vertex only takes me a minute. It seems like I am missing something everyone else runs into (?!?) I know it takes a long time to dry, but that doesn't really bother me. Much.


Axon, have you lately had some sort of regression or trouble with finasteride? Some recent posts of yours seem to suggest so. Please answer. :?
