Routine
Hi everybody-
I'm 31, been receding since my early 20s. I actually really like my "receding look"- but for the last few years the recession has turned into hair loss on the top, which is no fun!
I have been on Propecia + Minoxodil since 2006, and have been pretty good at keeping up with it. But there have been periods where I just stopped for months at a time.
9-10 months ago I decided to get back on the bandwagon and take Propecia and Rogaine religiously, every day.
I also discovered Caboki. Frankly, this has been THE most rewarding of all hair loss solutions. Within seconds I have thickness that looks natural.
Here's my routine. I get up, pop a pill of Propecia, shampoo with Kiehl's thickness shampoo. Then I put a big ball of Rogaine foam in my palm, massage it into the scalp, and wait 20-30 minutes until it is completely dry.
Then I sprinkle Caboki on the scalp, spray the locking mist, and off I go.
I sleep with Caboki on, and in the morning I shower and repeat the steps.
Here's the deal: when I rub the Rogaine foam into my scalp, I get a lot of shedding. At first I thought it was just the "shedding phase". But I am well beyond that, and it still continues to shed. As far as new hair is concerned, I honestly don't see much difference since I got onto Rogaine regularly again.
Does anyone have any tips? Am I making any major mistakes in my routine? The Caboki people actually recommended doing what I do (apply Rogaine first, let it dry, then sprinkle Caboki to conceal).
Is the problem the Caboki? is the Rogaine taking longer to kick in? Or has my body just built a tolerance towards Minoxidil over the years?
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Hiya, yeah I think concealers are sometimes underrated, they can be great.
I just wanted to say I agree, concealers can be most rewarding like you say.
I tried Toppik a few times, and was quite blown away by the results, got a huge buzz feeling like I had got back my hair within minutes. That was fantastic!
My only trouble was my own paranoia about whether it might appear different to others. Would they see what I see? Would different lighting affect it, I wasn't sure? This was more a psychological issue than a practical one.
Infact, noone said anything bad, I did even get a compliment on my hair (I only tried it out a few times) So those worries could well have been in all in the mind.
Also, like yourself, I've had trouble commiting to a routine - and to keep reapplying it.
But looking back on it, using concealer was really quite a positive experience, I would recommend it
