    What else can i do for my hair?

    1. Ive been taking propecia which stopped my hair loss

    2. Im gonna start nizoral to see if it can thicken my hair

    3. I use volumizing shampoos/conditioners

    Anything else? I cant be hassled with applying rogaine foam 2x a day. Will mousse help or some other serum to have thicker looking hair? Thanks!

    Volumizing shampoos/conditions don't really do anything for you. It is best to simply use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner.

    If you "can't be hassled" with applying Minoxidil twice a day then use it only once a day. Once a day is better than not using it at all if you need it.

    A good quality concealer such as Dermmatch can make your hair look a lot thicker than it really is - depending on how much area you need to cover.

      I don't even understand how you're supposed to apply minox without having a shaved head on less than number 2 anyway

          It's easy. I do it every day and I'm a girl with long hair. See the instructions for using women's Rogaine on Rogaine's website. The foam can be used the same way.

              But I don't have hair long enough to part like that.

              And it still looks very difficult, most of which looked like it was going onto the hair rather than the scalp.

              I was also talking about the foam. I've never used a dropper. I don't understand how you can have enough of this stuff to drop into about a hundred different positions on your scalp

                As I said above, you do it the same way with the foam as you do with the dropper. I use the foam in the morning myself and the dropper in the evening.

                Some of it does get into your hair. Don't worry so much about that. It is not significant. All you need to do is massage as much of it as you can into your scalp. It really is a whole lot easier than you are making it out to be. The foam is even easier.

                    Well, he does have hairloss. If he didn't, he'd be NW0.

                    The methodology is pretty much the same as the one linked in your post. The only difference is that guy uses a syringe whereas the woman uses a dropper. They are both still applied in same way.

                    For some regrowth.

                      Propecia and Rogaine do two different things. Propecia can arrest your hair loss and sometimes can allow hair that is able to grow back to grow back - but it does not stimulate hair that can grow back to grow back. Rogaine does not do anything to arrest hair loss but it does stimulate hair that can grow back to grow back. Using these two medications in concert provides the best chances of regrowing some of the hair that has been lost.

                        No he doesn't. I've seen him before back when I was trying to find evidence to support RU. His before and after pics look exactly the same. There is absolutely no difference at all.

                            Possibly. Have you ever used Rogaine before? When I say that I mean long enough to gain any cosmetic benefit from using it - ie: 12 to 18 months. If you have and you did not gain any cosmetic benefit from it, it is not likely going to help you now. If you have not, the only way you will ever know if it will help you is to try it for 12 to 18 months.
