Add topical spironolactone. U will see thickening of teh hairline, hopefully. I had good results with it but had to stop because my scalp got irratated.
Good luck. ALso minoxidil can take longer in some people to kick in.
Peace,

It was 10 months before I noticed a change in my hairline.

Food for thought.

What's spironolactone?

it's a topical dht inhibitor. i've been using it for a couple months, no visible effect yet. be warned it stinks like ***.

If minoxidil does not work for you alone you need a DHT blocker.. minoxidil STIMULATES hair growth but it does NOT do anything about the root cause of hair loss (Which is DHT) now if you were to get a DHT blocker such as spironolactone, Propecia, these treatments will block DHT and minoxidil will be able to stimulate more hair follicles because the root cause of hair loss is being dealt with at the same time.

Makes sense does it not?

What spironolactone are you guys using? I keep hearing that it stinks. Dr. Lee's has absolutely no smell at all.

You must be using Dr. Lee's 5%, because his 2% reeks. I use it in the evenings, it doesn't reek badly but it just has a very distinctive odor.

Is spironolactone actually clinically proven to block dht???

Dr. Lee's 5% spironolactone doesnt smell right out of the jar,but i do notice it as the day goes on reacting with minoxidil

Does anyone else ever get up and look in the mirror, and see exectly the same sh*t hairline that they had 6 months earlier, and think "is this crap really worth it?"

You can consider yourself happy if you have the same amount of hair you had 6 month ago, I would pay anything for that.
If I can wake up in the morning without thinking that I have less hair than the day before, it would remove a big issue of my life.
