minoxidil and Tricomin

[wilson2]

Hey boys,

I intend on adding Tricomin Hair Therapy Bottle to my routine. I'm currently on Minoxidil foam 5% twice a day, i really can't complain about Minoxodil. It has definitely thickened up my hairline and generally approved my hairs appearance.

I want to add Tricomin since I hear it has a decent cosmetic benefit plus I think it's easy to apply with my Minoxidil. I have heard of people experiencing sheds with Tricomin. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with combining the two. The LAST thing I want to do is somehow limit the efficacy Minoxidil by adding in Tricomin. Also I realize that Tricomin is not necessarily a proven hair loss treatment. I just would like the aesthetic benefit.


TLDR: Having good results with Minoxodil. Would like an added aesthetic benefit by adding in Tricomin. Want to apply both topicals at the same time. Could I be jeopardizing my Minoxidil results or worst case scenario is this just an expensive useless addition? Also which order of application is optimal?

*I noticed a stinging sensation (albeit relatively mild and short lasting) applying Rogaine Foam 2 minutes after Tricomin.*

EDIT: Happy Valentine's Day <3 haha

I don't know how Tricomin is supposed to help your hair.

The copper?

Yeah I believe the copper is suppose to somehow help. Anecdotal reports seem to be that it gives more of a cosmetic benefit than an actual benefit. Almost something like toppik concealers in a sense (obviously not as drastic). I believe the only study on it showed that it increased hair counts, but not necessarily hair density? I dont know though, i've really been wondering if I could be risking more than would be gained with this one. I would be very pissed if this hurt my minoxidil gains/ maintenance.

I've bought it already, and it supposedly can work on a different mechanism that is synergistic with Minoxidil (you can read more in the shop section of this site) but it does have a lot of ingredients. I get a bit weary of throwing in all these topical ingredients.
