Just thought I'd share the different variations of Minoxidil I'm using . . .
1. I use Dr. Lee's cheapy 5%. It's great. Clean, fast drying. You can swab on 1.25 ml, and 10 minutes later, no-one's the wiser.
2. I added (4) 1000 mg tabs MSM and (2) 500 mg tabs of L-arginine to a bottle of Dr. Lee's stuff, which was a mistake. The MSM and L-arg didn't dissolve so great - leaving my hair w/ a sticky residue. I'll use the bottle up - but won't try adding anything to Lee's 5% ever again.
3. I use the standard, classic Ozbrew formula maybe 3 - 4 x per week w/ Rite-Aid brand minoxidil. I find that right out of the shower is the best time. It combs out pretty good by the time I arrive at work. Sometimes after work, if I know I don't have to go out anywhere, I'll apply the oz to a dry scalp - but the hair never really comes back after that and looks pretty crappy for the rest of the evening.
4. Xandrox15: I've resorted to only being able to find time for this product maybe 2 - 3 x per week. It's best suited as a before bed application - but that's when I'm using Revivogen or Folligen.
What I do though - on weekend mornings, or mornings when I don't have to rush out to work - I apply xandrox15 and don't shampoo it out for at least 90 minutes. It's mostly soaked in by then - and even Dr. Lee has recommended this method - he said keeping it on for at least 1 hour before shampooing is also reasonable.
For example - this morning I woke up 1 full hour before my alarm went off (this friggin' time change has my bio clock all screwed). So, 4:45 AM I was soaking my head in xandrox15 and showering at 6:15 AM.
I generally use some sort of minoxidil at least 2 x per day.
On the days I use xandrox15, I don't use Ozbrew - and vice-versa.
Anyway, for what it's worth . . . .
Have great weekends y'all.
