He's saying it does in deed take a year to even see results and that thinking Rogaine's effects only last 1 year is absurd.

Get on it. You are already on fin aren't you?

yes but I heard it only helps with the crown and at 47 my crown is still covered.

Will it help for the hair on top?

There are many who believe Minoxidil only lasts for a year or two. I guess they read it on the internet - and you know if it's on the internet it has to be true. Hahaha

Ha I had seen it posted a few times on here that the effectiveness of minoxidil wanes after a certain period. I guess I should start using it then if this isn't true! The other thing that concerned me was that i had heard it can cause an initial shed that doesn't grow back on some people? Is this also a stupid myth of mine?

For future reference, you can buy sulfate free shampoo and conditioner in your local stores. There is no need to shop for anything special or high priced. Just make sure it's sulfate free.

Since you have the 2% prescription strength Nizoral, you should only use that once a week. Not twice a week.

I went with jason naturals ginseng and biotin conditioner but it was dreadful for me. I only used it a week but couldn't stick with it as it made my hair very thin and brittle.. Will have a look in my store next time I go. I am in the UK and the only ones I have seen in the supermarket are by tresemme and I have already tried those. Is there anything you'd recommend I look for? Sorry for double quoting you
