The significance of missing a minoxidil application?

Missing one minoxidil application will make absolutely no difference in the world. I miss multiple applications per month and have seen no difference.

I believe he is talking about missing 1 application per week, out of 7 total...which I am advising against.

AH, I see. It's always best never to skip any day and I see your point.

In fact I had a strange effect of hair getting stronger after one miss.

Missing a couple applications a month is actually a good thing. It can improve minoxidil effectiveness.

Really? That is interesting, I've never heard that before. Care to cite any medical studies?

Don't have any medical evidence to give you but there are already some people who noticed it, some form different forums as well.
I skip one or 2 application of minoxidil.

If nothing else it's good because it gives your scalp a little break from constant bombardment of alcohol, minoxidil and other chemicals. Missing an application once in a blue is no big deal.
