    I've read that the sides on RU are similar to the sides on Fin. Have you experienced any of this?
    Do you buy it premixed or mix it yourself?

        Yeah i did , but i tapered down now tho. I just blasted it and will lower now just for maintaining. Had no sides even at 200mg in 3-4 ml minoxidil. Hair got insanely thick. Wish i just had a little bit more regrowth..

          I myself did not get any sides.. But indeed most people do report similar sides as finasteride (although a lower % i think).

          I mix it myself, its a bit cheaper that way. Besides that i use minoxidil kirkland so i use that as a vehicle for my RU.

            Interesting, I strongly considered trying RU myself but was disheartened by reports of Fin sides.
            How long had you been using Minoxidil before mixing in RU?
            Would it be possible to lure you into posting some before and after pictures (if you have any before)?

              DO you do a 5% concentration? And how does it dissolve man? You store it in the freezer? I found RU hard to dissolve in kikrland minox when I froze the powder and used more than 5%

                  Here's a complete RU guide:

                  Things You'll Need: 1) Get 10 grams of RU from Kane. 2) At the same time order off of eBay or Amazon a 0.001 gram digital scale. You NEED this to correctly measure 30-100mg of RU for each application. These typically cost between $20-30 US, heres the one I use: http://i50.tinypic.com/23j28wn.jpg 3) Buy yourself the following

                      AFAIK, Rogaine's vehicle is a mix of ethanol and propylene glycol, so essentially the same as RU's. It should be fine to mix the two.

                            I got a question about Cosmo's initial CB results:





                            Isn't +/- 70 follicles per cm/2 quite high? Isn't that a density that you just start noticing thinning?

                              70 follicles per cm/2 is DENSE. Thats 175 single strands of hair. Most people have about 65-85 follicles per cm/2.

                              You won't notice thinning until youre at about HALF that, so around 35-40 follicles/cm2.

                                That's strange right? It would have made more sense to test CB's effectiveness by testing it on people who are actually thinning.
