    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??
