Cheap minoxidil?

[johnbath]

Iv'e been receding the past few years and a hair lost specialist recommended the following:
minoxidil 8% + mpg + caff
and
minoxidil 10% + AA

A years supply for these two comes to £900.
First of all, will these help my receding hairline as they say? Finally, is there anywhere on the net i can buy these products cheaper? Thankyou

Seriously mate you only need 5% foam if you are intending to go down the Minoxidil route. I have met many guys who tried to up the % of minoxidil with no added benefit. Save your money as anything over 5% in my opinion is pointless.

I get foam from here www.minoxidil-direct.co.uk as its a reliable legit place - However you might be able to find cheaper but make sure you use a trusted site.

Try the generic foam version.

That would depend on if your hair line is truly receding or if you just have an adult male hair line. If you are simply developing the natural and normal adult mature male hair line, these are not likely to help you at all. If you are in fact receding, 5% Minoxidil might help you. You don't need to go above 5% and that other stuff isn't going to do much of anything for you.

Generic Minoxidil foam has been readily available here in the US for a few months now. It may be available in your area as well.

Thanks for that link. Would that help regain some of my hairline? That's the only place i've lost hair and the hair beyond that isn't thinning

I posted pics in another thread and was told i was receding and a hair loss "specialist" i met told me it had receded half an inch from my juvenile hairline (which was already very high). But she said it was too high to be considered mature now

And Tracy i see in another thread you say minoxidil could destroy the hairline and won't generally work. Why do you say this? The photos they showed me of people just using minoxidil on their hairlines were very possitive
