Moving from minoxidal 5% to 7.5%

[m.gibson]

Im currently only on min 5% twice a day and nizoral shampoo.

Im hoping that by using 7.5% once a day and the foam once a day it will boost my hair growth. What do you guys think?

I will value any opinion. Regards

You can get 15% Minoxidil but I've heard people complain about more shedding.

Thank you very much for your reply. I value your opinions.

I feel that i need to add something to my regimine but i dont want to take finasteride. Thats why i was thinking of maybe increasing Min %. I always apply minoxidil to a dry scalp. Will it be more effective if i put some oil on it?

Regards. Thanks once again!

I apply a 5% minoxidil solution (Lipogaine) immediately after I come out of the shower. Applying the minoxidil to a hydated scalp greatly increases absorption.

I began using a 9.5% minoxidil solution at night in mid-August. Lots of shedding three weeks later. Those hairs are growing in now.

I switched to a 7.5% solution recently and so far everything is okay. I also apply retin-a cream after the minoxidil at night about 3 times per week.

That's what you're getting RIGHT NOW: a solution of about 7.5% on your scalp! Once the highly volatile components of your current solution (alcohol and water) evaporate from your scalp, you're left with a saturated solution of minoxidil in propylene glycol, which is about 7.5% or so.
