I'm thinking about using apple cider vinegar in conjunction with Minoxidil...
I've heard apple cider vinegar reduces the sebum, which can act as a waxy type substance to prevent the Minoxidil from being properly absorbed by the hair follicles.... So maybe if the ACV is applied an hour before hand then the minoxidil it might work better? what do you guys think?

Good luck with it, I was considering including minoxidil but have given up on it. ACV might indeed work by reducing inflamation & sebum and stimulating local circulation.. and interesting fact is that a very high percentage rate of balding people have inflamatory condition within their hair folicles.
PS. Be careful if You combine these two, to a degree if You use ACD undilluted, it can cause scalp redness.

Be careful if you choose to drink it- it's extremely acidic and can cause problems.

I have definitely found it useful in terms of treating my dry, itchy scalp. Aside from medication (a steroid given to me by my doctor), it's the only thing that I've found to treat my scalp when I have a break out. And while it doesn't treat hair loss in terms of MPB, I have found that I have more hair fall when my scalp is in bad condition... And when my scalp is healthy, the conditions are more conducive for healthier hair.
I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My opinions/comments are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.
