    Default 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?
