Applying minox 1x a day?
What are people's experiences with applying minox only 1x a day? I want to avoid using it in the morning if possible due to styling. But I am afraid this will compromise effectiveness.
Also did you use the foam or liquid? and what other treatments did/do you use with it?
-
In for responses. I HATE minox. I am honestly close to replacing topical applications with an oral dose but I am afraid I would experience a shed in doing so. People say oral has insane effectiveness but it acts everywhere, more or less. And I already have excess body hair so I would probably have to jump in a vat of Nair every week.

lol oral minox scares me 10x more than dut/fin ever did.
I also hate the topical though. Tried Kirkland's for a little while, seemed allergic, quit. But I am srsly considering trying a different brand at this point, I need to maximize regrowth for the next year. However I have read some accounts of minox ruining people's hairlines and then the hair not coming back after a year of use, which freaks me out....wondering if 1x vs 2x daily application has anything to do with it?

I'm at almost 8 months of using foam 1x a day and have some good thickening/regrowth.

Hey thanks for your reply, how does the foam affect your styling?
Edit: Also what other treatment do you use? & where on your scalp do you apply the foam?

To me, the foam seems to have a mousse/thickening effect and I use it in the morning before work to style for the rest of the day.
I apply it all over, hairline to crown. I'm actually not sure if the "regrowth" I'm seeing is hair from my recent shed coming back or actual regrowth but its happening all along my hairline so that's good either way. I also have been taking fin for a little over a year.

I hear you with regards to your last sentence. I've heard that too and that's what scares me away from minoxidil. Plus, I haven't seen anyone experience that great of results with minoxidil.

I've been using it twice daily for over a year now. I can't really say what it has done since my regimen has fluctuated wildly over that time and I never used to take pics before duta.
Anyway, I think the recommended twice daily application exists because that is what the clinical trials used. I remember someone saying that the half-life of minox on the scalp is like 18 hours or so. Thus, I believe that once per day is very close in efficacy to twice per day. I just always went with twice since it only takes a minute or two. Still ****ing hate doing it though.
