    The difference of minoxidil? March > August (PHOTOS)

    March



    August



    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think my hairline has thickened up considerably? I am certainly finding it easier to style my hair the last few months, and I'm not as bothered about wind and rain.

    All I've used is minoxidil, because I had sides with Propecia.

    Please bear in mind I had a bit of a shed when I first started minoxidil in January, so maybe that accounts for some of this apparent recovery. That said, I feel my hair is thicker than it has been in over a year.

    Further, I'm only doing minoxidil before bed. I frankly can't be bothered with it when I get up.

    Looks like it is really working for you!
    People do not think it works but it does if you stick with it.

    I have noticed improvements up front for sure and probably in vertex, though it may just have stopped the fast spread, not sure just yet.
    If you have itching, try the nizoral shampoo. When I used it years ago I did not think it was working, but this time it seems to have reduced itching/flaking problem. I only use Minox at night as well.

    Just note that if the minox is working well and you stay on it for a long time, you will lose hair rapidly if you stop for 3 months or more.

      Looks like you gained an inch on your hairline!

        That is amazing bro, hopefully i get the same result with minoxidil. Do you use it twice a day?

        I use it in the morning and then before I shower. I also add spiro to the mix.

          I just use it once a day. I thoroughly massage it into my hairline before bed. I used to do it before work, but got lazy. I guess with these results I should probably go back to 2x. I find the foam best for day time use, and the liquid is good for before bed because I don't need to worry about styling my hair.

            Thank you for the quick responds. I'll try it your way, hopefully it works for me has well.

              Its working

              You can see that your velius hairs have got darker - do you just apply it on the hairline

                I focus on the hairline but a lot of the time it dribbles down the frame of my hairline, sideburns etc. so I just rub it all in. Can't harm

                  Highlander, I don't use the foam in my hair much to be honest. These pics are without foam.

                  Yeah, I definitely have some good styling options. I sometimes wonder why I'm even thinking about a hair transplant, but it's not like any of the 3-4 docs have turned me away, and I believe they would if they thought it wasn't appropriate. I definitely have recession that bothers me. I'm just lucky I can hide it with some "cow licks" from the back.

                  I'm not sure about going back on fin, even at a low dose. It's really frustrating how much that drug has messed with my sexual health, and I feel really let down by the industry and forums like this, for not representing the risks more thoroughly.

                    Have you tried countering it with viagra? Someone post about his sexual side effect and he used viagra and it help him.

What I was given was actually a liquid Minox, but as a spray bottle. It was exceptionally good and way better than the standard liquid. Does anyone know what brand it might of been?
                      That is how they used to sell it : with both the spray and the dropper.
                      For some reason they dropped the spray version but I kept mine and that is how I still do it.

                      IMHO the spray gets a lot of minox in a larger area. The neg is you use more of it, but it's so cheap now I don't care. I spray a little in the front and more in the back as that is where i need it the most. It's faster to apply that way too.

                        This is where nobody wants to be. On the brink of using viagra.

                          OP, great results! I've seen a lot of people with positive results using only minoxidil, I just wish I was one of them.

                          I'm curious to see how long the new hairs continue to grow out. Mine would terminate at about a half inch then fall out and one of my coworkers can only gro them out about an inch.

                            Chrisis - I'm envious! And pleased for you also. I tried Minox foam for around 15 months on my hairline and regrew sweet f*ck all.

                            Keep at it, I call you a responder mate in this instance.

                              Thanks for the feedback, and yeah I'll keep it up and report my progress.

                              I won't be using viagra, by the way. Viagra is for erectile dysfunction, which I don't have. Thanks anyway.
