I think the hairomega is actually doing a decent job of making my hair seem thicker and 'fuller'. To be fair I'm not really bald at all, I have more head on my hair at 24 than a lot of guys I remember back in highschool but my issue is that I know if I don't do anything to keep this hair I will definitely lose it all at one point or another.
My vertex area (which was already full of hair) seems to have thickened up even more. It had a bit of a cowlick going on but there were no bald spots, just a little thinner than the rest of the hair (not noticeable to anyone) it's filled in completely now but the new hairs seem to be more coarse... My hairline seems thicker however I'm still waiting for the little hairs on the edge of my hair to thicken up. They are probably half the size of my regular hairs but I'd like for them to thicken up.
You know it's odd but my eyelashes seem longer and thicker along with my eyebrows. My body hair seems to be thicker than normal but I don't know for sure since I never really payed attention to it before. One thing for sure is my hair and nails are growing much much faster than ever before in my life.
I'm going to stay on hairomega and see if I continue growing any new hairs or see if the little hairs around my temple area thicken up. I've been keeping a offline picture log for my own personal record from when I started back in february all the way until now and I have to say my hair is definitely much thicker and healthier. Today somebody thought I was a senior in a local highschool so I think my healthier hair has a lot to do with it. =)
I stopped using minoxidil last month. I was only on it for about a month thank god. I was suffering from so many side effects, mainly being a very flaking scalp, rings around my eyes, shoulder aches, ears, nose and forehead swelling slightly and waking up with many many faint wrinkles around my forehead along with larger pores. I was only using the normal dose twice a day. I've never had any of these problems in my life until I started minoxidil...
Perhaps I am allergic to minoxidil or maybe it's just the side effects. However I do know minoxidil is not worth my health. This website pretty much confirmed my suspicions that minoxidil causing all these problems for me. Other people experienced strikingly similar issues.

When I stopped using minoxidil all of the side effects went away. Had I used it longer perhaps some of the sides would have been more permanent. I will say that I did lose some fine hairs on the side of my hairline from using minoxidil. I'm hoping that they grow back even though I stopped using it.
Oh yes I will also add that I've been eating much more fruits and vegetables, legumes, beans and healthy snacks instead of junk food. I have been avoiding eating processed foods and ALL oils (including olive oil).
