Over applying minoxidil

[zephyr31]

I here about some guys who apply 0.5ml etc, really low amounts imo.

Iv been using various diff stuff from 5% to 15% to nanominox.

First time i tried it i did have problems with sore heads, but now i have no issue. my hair is getting really thick and id say i must use about 3ml once per day at night. I have no issue with minoxidil, my scalp feels healthy, but i really like making sure all the top of my head has a healthy amount.

Can you overdo it?, if i apply too much will it just not absorb?, if i dont have any issues with min does it really matter how much i apply?. as long as i cover all of the area needing treated?.

According to my knowledge, if you have covered all areas and then apply an extra layer, that extra layer will most certainly not be absorbed.

Not true.

Also keep in mind that minoxidil is a drug, and that it does have side effects!

That's correct. Some people are able to take more , other get sides with 1 ml of 5% minoxidil.

the scalp does get saturated at some point.

so if u can take it ok, its not a major problem if you use too much?. and that it will just not be absorbed?.

i've always wondered about this too. if your scalp can take it, and you have the $, will you get better results applying a higher dosage of minoxidil (foam and liquid)?

i swear if i apply a double dose i'll notice a 3-4 day shed, it seems to be directly related to how much i use.

mysterious...

Finally!!! Cassin, I'm so proud you have come around in your belief that Fedor is a better P4P fighter than A. Silva.

haha....

well don't forget my primary argument of Silva over Fedor was activity. And Fedor certainly has been more active.

 

[JWM]

And let's not forget that Fedor is usually fighting guys who outweigh him by 50-60 pounds. Can you imagine GSP or Silva fighting guys who weigh 230-240? And let's not forget that Fedor PUSHES every fight (something A. Silva does not do, just watch Leites, Cote fights) and is always going for the kill.

Ahh...Cassin, you've made me very proud indeed.

i use about 1.5ml every night on my hair.


RE: MMA. Fedor and GSP are my two favourites. I get equally nervous for both. Fedor does fight bigger guys but that also brings him advantages (speed, agility and often cardio and skill) over these guys. Fedor's toughest fights have been against guys his own size (Arona and Cro Cop) so although beating up these bigger guys is particularly impressive, there no point saying GSP needs to beat a big guy 30lbs bigger to equal that (unless that guy is much less skilled than him)

I have GSP being the best simply because p4p i think he's a bad matchup for both Fedor and Anderson. Anderson could never stop his takedowns if they were the same size and i dont think Fedor could either. BJ couldn't sub GSP so i dont think Fedor could. GSP decisions both guys if not finishes them in the later rounds.

GSP = #1 P4P

Very true.

I do worry that Fedor's lack of technical brilliance will eventually catch up with him though. Arlovski looks to be doing well until he left an opening. But Fedor always finds a way, his mental game is unprecendented.

I know we are getting off subject here, but Colin, my friend, GSP would take Fedor? Your Arona argument is solid, but Fedor would absolutely MAUL GSP. If Matt Sera can hurt him imagine what Fedor's fists would do? :shock:

IF--and I mean IF--GSP got the takedown, he would not keep him there. Fedor would pummel Georgey boy into French-Canadian goo.

 

[zephyr31]

Fedor has a nose made of glass, that doesnt really matter though as the guy NEVER feels pain, in fact does he have ANY emotions?. If Dana White didnt own ur *** when u fight in UFC fedor would jump at the chance, but untill then he will always be fighting guys who arnt rated, thats a shame.

I could probably take him 1v1 but i dont want to get my hair messed up.

lol of course Fedor would ruin GSP

but i say p4p. Therefore IF they happened to be the exact same size GSP beats Fedor imo.

yeah it's no big deal but if you over use it you may get side effects. Also, I wouldn't use a lot of minoxidil. In my case, I noticed that less is more, meaning if I use 1.5-2ml per application I don't get as good regrow or maintenance of hair that are dependent on minoxidil.

In my case 1 ml. a day that's it.
