Yes, it's thinning my hairline out, i do slap it on about an inch in tho, not just the actual hairline, also my temples.

I do see a few baby hairs appearing front centre parting area, that's been sparse for ages - i'm nurturing them along daily so if they become cosmetically useful i'll start to praise the stuff.

I foolishly thought using it with TRX2 would be beneficial, well it's not lol.

I've also read Minox has a systemic effect also, so if you're applying strategically to fine hairs, others get affected anyway?

I think its good news you're shedding, it means you're responding to the treatment - I hear its only after 12 months when the visible terminal hairs start coming out... and thats using it religiously everyday...

Atleast we have Minox... I'm still not considering fin at all. I think minox would buy another 5 - 7 years before the response ends.

Re the systemic effect, I kind of hope so... i'll regret not using it if I lose my hairline.

Yeah i'm hoping the shed is a good pointer, if i re-gain what i lost and a bit more on top for a few years i'll be content until it wear's off.

Also, try getting it from Minoxidil-direct, check their website. Superb prices, service, & delivery speed.

It comes from the States, but i always receive mine within six days, discreetly packaged too.

I'm on 5% foam, Rogaine - much cheaper getting the original from Minox direct. but that Kirklands stuff has a good rep, i even think they supply that too - for peanut's money

**** it - if i had a Friar tuck coming on i'd go all out slapping it on there, fill ya boot's UK!

It's most likely going to help with the crown, it's proven too dude.

Go for it, I'm going to carry on with it shit or bust.

Can't face Fin, TRX2 is shit, so it's Minox or nothing at present really for us.

Oh yeah, apart from shedding I haven't experienced any side effects using it. No fat face, or black eyes etc, so that's a positive from my use of it.

The thing is.... my hairline isnt really affected by MPB but my crown is literally in ruins - like... im talking monk - lol - my issue is this: if I 'suspect' my hairline is starting to recede... and I start using minox to theoretically 'save it'.

Am I doing the right thing? Or am I making the situation worse?
