    Monix on temples --> hair growth on forehead??

    *title should say minox but i can't change it for some reason

    I spoke to a dermatologist about my hair loss, and he said minox "might" work on temples, but the reason you cannot put it there is because you might grow hair on the forehead.

    Anyone put minoxidil on temples/hairline and started growing hair on the forehead? And if so is it really that bad?

      Minoxidil works great on the temples.

      When I was twenty, and Minoxidil was prescription only, a US Board certified doctor prescribed it to me. I had no vertex baldness at that age. Only a receding hairline. She said to put it on my hairline (and it was two percent).

      It worked! All of my hair grew back. It works just as well on the hairline, it's just it wasn't tested there.

      See Dr. Bernstein videos if you want more proof.

            HAHAA!! I think it look a bit stronger and thicker on my temples, mostly on the "peaks" closest to my eyebrows (don't know the name)
            On my crown it has done wonders (now i just use it one time a day) a very small amount.

              It's probably one of the best things you can do for your hairline. When Minoxidil first came out, and was only two percent, it restored my entire hairline.

              A Board Certified (highly qualified) doctor in the US prescribed it to me. And she was right. It grew back my entire forehead. Unfortunately, sometimes results from Minoxidil are temporary.

                No side effects. It just doesn't have long term effects.

                  How long did it last for you before it stopped working?

                    cool, so it does work on the temples then? How long did the effects last before it stopped working?

                      It retarded my hair loss on my hairline. I guess that's a better word for it.

                      Five years it held my hairline. But I started with two percent (only dosage around back then).

                      Now I take a huge amount. If you gradually go higher, the effects to seem to stay.

                      There's companies all over the globe that sell concentrated Minoxidil. Not trying to advertise just one. Also, for concentrated amounts, Minoxidil liquifies in cold weather.

                      When I cut my dosage in half, last year, my hair started falling out. But I think that's because I combined a high amount with retinol. My hair is naturally thin, and retinol kind "burned" it off, so to speak.

                      Seems like men who have naturally thin hair shouldn't use retinol. Unfortunately, now I have to use thirty percent.

                        Oh ok thanks for the details. Did your hair get thicker? I hear about people talk about minox "growing back" their hair and "covering up" their bald spot again.

                        So when you get to 30% minox, don't you get a lot of side effects??
