Using minoxidil occasionally...waste of time?

[Citrus]

I have been on finasteride for almost a year and I am thinking of adding minoxidil to my regimen. If I were to use it a couple nights a week would it do me any good or would it be a complete waste of time?

The reason I'm asking is because I use toppik everyday before I go out and it needs my hair and scalp to be completely dry. I don't think I would have enough time to use minoxidil and then wait for it to dry before applying toppik.

Does anyone here use both? How do you do it?

waste of time to use minoxidil sporadically

the best results come from twice a day use

Although studies have shown minoxidil w/ Retin-a once a day to be equally as effective as regular minoxidil twice daily... just something to consider.

true Retin-a is suppose in improve absorption

min w/ retin-a is also more expensive

the question is how bad to you want to maintain and possibly re grow?

would you want to take the risk of having less of a possibility to get better results with twice day use of minoxidil

IMO i would want to stick with documented best dosage

alot of people on this site have used once a day and switched back to twice because of better results

your hair is in your hands though
