    Minoxidil MIRACULOUS results. It worked for me!

    This is around 5 months in treatment. 5% two times a day just as prescription indicates. Check it out and tell me what you think.
    Bear in mind that on the bald/less dense areas on the earlier pics NOTHING would grow, even waiting months and months, UNTIL I started the treatment(it took around 3 months to begin making effect). I also use Ketaconozole shampoo a couple times a week.









    This picture shows the extreme gravity my alopecia reached.

        Nah, just Minox 5% and the nizoral.

        The problem is the temples, the minox doesn't do too much on there, but everything else has flourished since I started the treatment. I swear I spent like 4 months trimming everything besides the front of my head and every time the back would outgrow it in a few weeks. It wasn't until I started the minox that this situation changed. I mention this because many people don't think there's much difference except that the hair is longer, well it didn't get longer until I started the minox, it just wouldn't grow at all.

            Liquid, just pulverize 6 times all over the affected areas twice a day and do a bit of massage (when I am not too lazy)

              Awesome results bro. I'm on 1.5 months with the foam, and I know it is suppose to be too early to see results, but I can already tell it is working. I'm surprised more people aren't using rogaine.

                Nice bro, only if it work on the temples too. Minox makes my hair really greasy so I only apply during the nights.

                  Yeah it'd be sweet if there was any product which worked effectively on the temples.

                  Regarding greasiness, for me it stays with a wet gel look for like 1 hour and then it just becomes quite fixed.

                    Your hair is just longer. If you buzzed it to the previous length it would look almost identical. I say that because I have a very similar hairline.

                      Nice result OP. For only 5 months thats a hell of a improvemnt, I wonder how great it will look in 12 months.

                      With some toppik and light grafting on the temples, less than 1000, you could be back into NM1 territory.

                      I have a couple of questions for you man. Were you shedding before you started? and did the shed increase when you started rogaine? If so how much did it increase by?

                      Did you get any sides? skin rashes, headaches, dark ircles under the eys or rapid heart beat?

                        This is exactly why we need a product that grows hair on a slick bald scalp.

                          Yes the hair is longer, which is what the Minox caused, which wasn't happening before on its own, hence your comment is pretty irrelevant.

                            Yeah I had long hair and I was shedding for many years until the long hair looked too bad so I shaved it all. I started using the minox when I had a totally shaven head so I didn't notice any shedding thereon.

                            I didn't have any side effects whatsoever.

                              Yes, although I must say the minox did grow some peach fuzz on the temples which wasn't there before for many years, but it's quite imperceptible.
