    The difference of minoxidil? March > August (PHOTOS)
    March

    August

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think my hairline has thickened up considerably? I am certainly finding it easier to style my hair the last few months, and I'm not as bothered about wind and rain.

    All I've used is minoxidil, because I had sides with Propecia.

    Please bear in mind I had a bit of a shed when I first started minoxidil in January, so maybe that accounts for some of this apparent recovery. That said, I feel my hair is thicker than it has been in over a year.

    Further, I'm only doing minoxidil before bed. I frankly can't be bothered with it when I get up.

    Looks like it is really working for you!
    People do not think it works but it does if you stick with it.

    I have noticed improvements up front for sure and probably in vertex, though it may just have stopped the fast spread, not sure just yet.
    If you have itching, try the nizoral shampoo. When I used it years ago I did not think it was working, but this time it seems to have reduced itching/flaking problem. I only use Minox at night as well.

    Just note that if the minox is working well and you stay on it for a long time, you will lose hair rapidly if you stop for 3 months or more.

    That is amazing bro, hopefully i get the same result with minoxidil. Do you use it twice a day?

    I use it in the morning and then before I shower. I also add spiro to the mix.

    I just use it once a day. I thoroughly massage it into my hairline before bed. I used to do it before work, but got lazy. I guess with these results I should probably go back to 2x. I find the foam best for day time use, and the liquid is good for before bed because I don't need to worry about styling my hair.

    Thank you for the quick responds. I'll try it your way, hopefully it works for me has well.

    I focus on the hairline but a lot of the time it dribbles down the frame of my hairline, sideburns etc. so I just rub it all in. Can't harm :cool:

    Highlander, I don't use the foam in my hair much to be honest. These pics are without foam.

    Yeah, I definitely have some good styling options. I sometimes wonder why I'm even thinking about a hair transplant, but it's not like any of the 3-4 docs have turned me away, and I believe they would if they thought it wasn't appropriate. I definitely have recession that bothers me. I'm just lucky I can hide it with some "cow licks" from the back.

    I'm not sure about going back on fin, even at a low dose. It's really frustrating how much that drug has messed with my sexual health, and I feel really let down by the industry and forums like this, for not representing the risks more thoroughly.

    Have you tried countering it with viagra? Someone post about his sexual side effect and he used viagra and it help him.
