    Default Applying Minoxidil All Over Head

    NW2 with vertex thinning here -

    I am applying Minoxidil 5% to my whole head -- Why doesn't it make all my hairs shed? Does it only shed hairs that are in resting phase?

    You should just apply it to the MPB-prone areas. As far as I know, Minoxidil should not cause the hairs that are healthy to shed.

    Are you also using Fin? If not, you should do so. Remember, Minox doesn't treat the actual problem. It only masks it, and this masking effect will not last forever (five years seems to be the maximum). This is why you also need Fin.
