Do you wash hair before EACH Rogaine application?!! Whassup, bros? Yo, I had a question; do you wash your hair before each Rogaine application? It says 'apply on the clean scalp'. But shampooing twice a day is 2 much, man. I actually used Rogaine a few years ago and showered with shampoo and...

Nizoral IS THE REASON you keep itching, lmao 4 times a week is TOO ****ING MUCH! I ditched nizoral, switched to SLS-free shampoo and itch was completely gone in 2 weeks!

It's funny, I recently moved to an area with hard water and my hair has gotten thicker and more coarse (which is a good thing)

Brilliant! Even if you don't grow that fancy facial hair, you'll be blind enough not to care about it anymore! :punk:

Absolutely! I've gotten all kind of side effects at first. They DO subside, though!

If you're too broke to keep up with Propecia, just get on Saw Palmetto supplements, man. They are not as effective as Finasteride, but they DO work similarly.

Any SLS-free shampoo will balance-out the harsh effects of Nizoral and won't irritate scalp. I use Organix, it's like $6 at grocery stores

Well, Rogaine can thicken up a weak hairline and improve the appearance, but it won't magically fill up those receded temples and turn you into NW1, man. What it can do for you is thicken up those borderline thinning regions that are not yet completely bald

Look, no one is saying that a good diet can singlehandedly cure baldness. But A BAD DIET can certainly contribute to whatever thinning/hairloss you have. I DID the extreme diet in the past, dropped like 10 pounds in 2 weeks, but the hair definitely looked weaker at the end of those 2 weeks lol

Yea dude, trim the sides really short and leave #3-ish on top, sorta like The Situation. And a little scalp shine in normal, even in the non-male pattern baldness dudes

It is what it is, man. You kinda have to let it dry for half an hour and then mess it up with your hands or a soft brush to eliminate the stiff look

Yep, Rogaine definitely works on the face! lol My younger cousin was finally able to connect his goattee using Rogaine foam for like 4 months. And the great thing is, it does not shed once you stop using minoxidil (unlike regular hair)

Use nizoral like twice a week, the rest of the days use regular. That is it, sir!

could you forward me to some links for those "sensitive brands"? also, is it even worth it to get back to minoxidil at this point? I used it for couple years, then quit it for a year, can I start again now? is there a point?

I've been using SLS-free shampoo for the last 3 months and now I have substantially less sebum production and itching. It's almost like Nizoral was causing the dry scalp and forced my head to produce more oil to fight it. The scalp feels a lot healthier now!
