minoxidil 2x a day

[under20]

hey

ive been putting minoxidil 1x a day on my temples and have seen decent results. I am now gonna start putting it over my entire head and I just shaved all my hair off. So im planning to put it on 2x day, cause it so easy, until my hair grows back and then put it on 1x a day. Do u think this might mess up the effectivness of the minoxidil switching from 2x a day to 1x a day that quickly? thanks

well your plan is good, just do whats on your mind ... apply 2x a day will just give better results (well for some people) and after your hair grows you can switch to 1x and you should have no probs after :wink:

Hey

Im not sure if used the best wording. Im just gonna put it on 2x a day for about 2months until my hair grows long again, cause i shaved my head. Then after my hair is long again, im gonna just put it on 1x a day. Will doing this have any negative effects, which would not be seen if I just put it on 1x a day starting now?

thanks

You should be fine going from 2x a day to 1x a day, especially since you will only be applying 2x a day for two months. The only problem that I would foresee is if you stopped allying the minoxidil altogether.

Also, though there is no proof that applying all over does any good, I do it and I think that I benefit from it. Everyone is different, however...

All over applications have worked well for me, sure it can be a hassle but it beats baldness hands down.

Under20 - I honestly wouldn't bother upping it to twice a day for just 2 months, it's not long enough to see a gain over using it once a day, plus what if it causes a shed? Then you'll be reducing your usage before the extra minoxidil has time to stimulate the regrowth.

yall make a good point, but part of my thinking was that results can be seen as early as 2months if u apply 2x a day. Thus if I apply 2x a day for 2months, while my hair is short, I will get most likely get past the shedding stage and get onto the growth stage and then from there it will be 1x a and only growth? Is this thinking theoretically wrong? I saw thickening by 2months when I was only applying 1x a day, but Im just thinking that 2x a day for 2months might just speed up the process a bit.

You're obviously a good responder to minoxidil if you had thickening after only 2 months (it was about 6 before my hair did that) so, for you, going to the twin applications for such a short time may well help to kick-start the process.
