Minoxidil 5% how many times?

Do you have to apply this twice a day all the time, even when you've been on it a while? If I cut down to one a day after a month or two would that reverse the effects?

The reason I ask is my hair is pretty much unstyleable anyway as it is but I can imagine the foam would completely mess it up more, and if I'm supposed to leave it in for 4 hours, I'm gonna have to go out like that and that's always put me off trying it.

Not that it would work for me anyway. :shakehead:

yes you must take it 2 x per day as minoxidil isn't traceable in the scalp after about 8 hours or so.
I've seen guys on here get success with using it once per day though. I think once I get the growth I want I will cut down to once per day as well. For now, 2 x per day for best results.

How do you apply it exactly, just rub it into scalp? And doesn't your hair look bad during the day cause of it?

I use the foam..there's a YouTube showing how its applied. Slap on a golf ball sized amount in teh bald area and just start rubbing in. I don't find it a problem at all..its dry in about 5 minutes and you can comb out any of the stiffening effect of the mousse on your remaining hair.

I think my hair will go curly and look pretty bad as soon as I apply the foam.
