    What strength minox are you using? And how frequently?

    Curious, where did you purchase the 5% foam?

    I can only find 5% liquid, 2% foam OTC.

    Rolled for the first time today. Hurts but it's not that bad. Disappointing to see a lack of results so far in the thread.

    Don't roll back and forth.

    I haven't started yet. I am still waiting for my roller to arrive.

    I plan to try using plastic wrap in the same way that it is used to make a mold of your scalp when fitting for a wig or topper, then roll through the wrap.

    Those study pics seem impressive but if you use a 0.5 roller or the 1.5 as long as you take it easy you could try using it everyday or everyother day and use minox once a day use it twice until you get results then you could try once a day.
    Im going to be using my new 1.5 titanium needle roller instead of the 0.5 but still not sure whether to use the study once a week.
    Also going to use my minox and lasr comb plus dutasteride lets rock and roll haha.
    By the way guys hell i was out of order with remarks made and am sorry for that as most know me as placid im not sure what got into me that day.
    Tried to pm you hell but could not?

    You should not roll everyday, or put minox within 24 hours after the rolling. Why don't your roll every ten minutes?

    Default PrettyFly83 3 Month Progress Update

    Hey all my Balding Brothers and Sister

    As promised here are my 3 month update photo's which I'm posting for all to gauge the effectiveness of this treatment.

    To summarize, I haven't changed anything in my regime from my first posts on page 6-8 of this thread as I didnt want to blur any results by changing techniques. My understanding was the original purpose of this thread by Hellouser was either to replicate the study or undertake a regime with slight variations on the technique. I'm planning to stick with my regime until I see someone yield better results with theirs. In no way am I saying mine was better than the studies, I had just been doing it for 2 months so thought to carry on.

    Ive tried to match close ups over various area's of my shiny NW6 head to compare each area individually. Sorry if they are not exactly correctly positioned as these were all taken with an Galaxy SIII but I think they show enough detail.

    Would like to hear everyone views on them, whether there has been any progress. Be gentle with your comments please, this is my head after all

    For those using this technique, please please please keep going, it's only been 1 month since this thread started and the only way we can verify or disprove the study is with multiple cases. Close ups before and during are the only way to see if anything is happening as its VERY slow in my case so please take baseline pictures.

    I only took temple shots at 1 month into treatment.

    Sorry its so many.

    My view: Regrowth is still happening but more slowly now, I think Im seeing new very fine hairs sprouting from my slick temples but can't be sure as the old photo's go blurry there. Older regrowth seems to be thickening but is VERY slow. There are thousand of black dots just below the skin and I'm hoping those are hairs resting.
