    15 weeks on rogaine, question

    So yesterday was 15 weeks on rogaine once per day on crown.



    After about 3 weeks I had peach fuzz around my hairline despite not applying it there. Now I notice dark normal color hairs (tad thinner than normal) growing in. I assume this is a good sign?


    Now as it easier to see my hairline than crown, I'm not sure what's going on there. From personal experience will I get more hairs than these first ones or is this going to be it?

    Idk man. Been on it 8 or 9 months myself. I got really excited with the peach fuzz you mentioned. I also have aggressive frontal loss with good crown density.

    The peach fuzz doesn't seem to have turned into anything else yet really.

    I will say that very recently I noticed a good amount of dark hairs popping up, all the same length. Their growth cycles are definitely synced, which I would attribute to minoxidil use. My density on the hairline is definitely overall down, but I think I'm finally at a point of stabilization.

      Here's a pic. Phone has shitty quality pics, but it's all I've got.




      Been on fin for 14 months too. Pop that stuff like candy. No reportable sides.

        Not sure poppin it like candy is a great idea but your hair looks excellent.

          Thanks. I think I'm a bit below baseline, but I compare to basline pics and realize I'm not too bad. I start nizoral tonight finally.

            Your hair is thick man, I think that's really all that matters.

            I wish my hairline was just thick, a thin hairline looks like an old mans hairline.

            I remember your posts from last year - I always just thought if you styled you hair in a more disheveled manner, you could probably pass for a mature hairline. Or a straight 4-5 guard buzz, if it's really as thick as pictures show.

              My hairline is in poor condition. That's what I bought the minox was for and where it's been used exclusively -- whole frontal region really.

              My crown is stable/improved with only fin. Pretty textbook Type A MPB.
