minoxidil ONCE a day...

[wastingpenguins]

After suffering through some pretty terrible scalp conditions for the first 5-6 months of my treatments, I dropped the Min to once a day instead of twice, and started showering twice a day, with nizoral every third day.

I dropped my Min dosage following advice on this forum.

My scalp is back to perfect condition.

But now I'm wondering-- is there really a significant difference between once and twice a day applications?

Has anyone ever tried this and actually gotten some benefit from it?

Thanks.

I remember Cassin recently saying that when he cut back to once a day he lost some of the gains he made.

instead of just once a day, due to my work schedule, i am able to apply the 5% rogaine 3 times a day.....is there any good in this or am i just wasting the minoxidl with the extra dose?....by the way, i started using rogaine about a month ago and i am in a real nasty shed....could it the shed be due to the 3 applications per day that i am using?...i am also using the shen min pills (i know, garbage!!) but i am just giving it a shot!!...thanks in advance fellas, these forums definitely help out when i am feeling crappy about losing my hair!!!

I'm not sure that three times a day is going to hurt your hair (though it's a possibility), but I really doubt it's helping. I'm pretty certain that there's no real benefit in that many applications. Two is just fine.

minoxidil only does so much to a hair follical. Just think where the extra minoxidil is going.

I use my 5% only once a day seems to be working.
